| mycoDA | why the heck would my volume be going thru the roof every time the screen comes out of dpms | 09:39 |
|---|---|---|
| hipitihop | I installed from a 9.x livecd to a fresh machine a couple of years back, didn't realy pay attention to how fs was setup, only to find I apparently have a very odd set of partions | 14:59 |
| hipitihop | /dev/sda1 12G 9.2G 1.3G 89% / | 14:59 |
| hipitihop | /dev/sda6 454G 352G 102G 78% /var/lib | 14:59 |
| hipitihop | so two questions, a) why such an odd setup, and b) how can I fix this now that I have a number of services running on this box, myth, asterisk, ossec etc | 15:01 |
| mycoDA | interesting | 15:03 |
| mycoDA | /var/lib/mythtv is where all your recordings and videos etc are, would be why it is separate, maybe there was an accident setting it up? | 15:04 |
| mycoDA | hipitihop | 15:04 |
| mycoDA | simplest way to fix it is prolly to go into single user mode, umount devsda6 and copy it over if you wanted to | 15:05 |
| mycoDA | /var/lib/mythtv is on a separate phsical drive for me | 15:05 |
| hipitihop | mycoDA, you mean chose the wrong option during install ? | 15:05 |
| mycoDA | in ur case is prolly to stop recordings filling the root drive | 15:06 |
| hipitihop | mycoDA, only have one hd on this box | 15:06 |
| mycoDA | yeah, but is a separate partition | 15:06 |
| hipitihop | perhaps, but on another channel, people said this is one of the silliest configs they have ever seen | 15:07 |
| mycoDA | like i said - is to stop recordings filling the root drive and killing the system | 15:07 |
| hipitihop | and now trying to run another service on the box, splunk and it wants 2gb space and says there is no room | 15:07 |
| hipitihop | someone suggested I mv /opt to sda6 and symlink | 15:08 |
| mycoDA | was about to say that lol | 15:08 |
| mycoDA | would eb a workaround | 15:08 |
| mycoDA | tho - try sudo apt-get clean | 15:09 |
| mycoDA | might free up some space | 15:09 |
| hipitihop | can't damage anything ? | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | lean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. It removes everything but the lock file from | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/. When APT is used as a dselect(1) method, clean is run | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | automatically. Those who do not use dselect will likely want to run apt-get clean from time to time to free up disk space. | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | autoclean | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | Like clean, autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. The difference is that it only removes | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | package files that can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless. This allows a cache to be maintained over a long | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | period without it growing out of control. The configuration option APT::Clean-Installed will prevent installed packages from | 15:10 |
| mycoDA | being erased if it is set to off. | 15:10 |
| hipitihop | k, done that, barely budged, now at 1.4gb | 15:12 |
| mycoDA | sudo apt-get autoremove | 15:12 |
| mycoDA | will remove orphaned packages | 15:12 |
| mycoDA | left behind after something else that required em is gone | 15:13 |
| mycoDA | also - could have a cleanout of /var/log | 15:13 |
| mycoDA | or move IT to sda6 even | 15:13 |
| hipitihop | so specifically for now, df -k /opt/splunk | 15:13 |
| hipitihop | gives .. /dev/sda1 11535344 9531852 1417524 88% / | 15:14 |
| mycoDA | doesnt tell you much lol | 15:15 |
| hipitihop | so can you step me through moving /opt to sda 6 without destroying the system ? I have at least 3 services running on this, one being myth other asterisk etc | 15:15 |
| hipitihop | sorry, opt/splunk is what is complaining about not enough space | 15:15 |
| mycoDA | gah | 15:16 |
| mycoDA | havent had to do this in donkeys | 15:16 |
| hipitihop | ok, if you don't feel comfortable that's fine... I don't either, still a little green around the gills when it comes to the Linux fs, so prefer to stand on teh shoulders of giants | 15:17 |
| mycoDA | i know what to do - go into single user mode | 15:17 |
| mycoDA | been donkeys since i did | 15:17 |
| mycoDA | /opt/splunk should be easy enuf tho | 15:18 |
| mycoDA | shouldnt need any stuffing around | 15:18 |
| mycoDA | mv /opt/splunk /var/lib/spluk | 15:18 |
| hipitihop | shouldn't I move all of opt ? | 15:19 |
| mycoDA | ln -s /var/lib/splunk /opt/splunk | 15:19 |
| mycoDA | up to you | 15:19 |
| mycoDA | would likely have to drop to single user mode so it isnt in use | 15:19 |
| mycoDA | not sure | 15:19 |
| hipitihop | although your suggestion will only effect splunk so safer I guess | 15:19 |
| mycoDA | was why i said it | 15:20 |
| hipitihop | so I can do the splunk mv without single user ? probably best to stop splunk though | 15:20 |
| mycoDA | tho there is nothing in my opt | 15:20 |
| mycoDA | yeah - stop splunk | 15:20 |
| hipitihop | good point, hold on I'll see what I have | 15:21 |
| mycoDA | is anything else in /opt ? | 15:21 |
| mycoDA | brb - smoke | 15:21 |
| mycoDA | bak | 15:26 |
| hipitihop | ok, on the splunk channel, considering this is a fresh unused splunk install, they siggested using the dpgg --instdir and install it into a proper place | 15:38 |
| hipitihop | s/dpgg/dpkg | 15:38 |
| mycoDA | fair one | 15:39 |
| mycoDA | purge it and install it again | 15:39 |
| hipitihop | so next question in ubuntu fs, where is the correct place to specify such stuff | 15:39 |
| hipitihop | /usr/share ? | 15:39 |
| mycoDA | wherever u like, but in ur case, prolly gonna be /usr/lib/splunk :P | 15:40 |
| hipitihop | oops, same partition | 15:40 |
| hipitihop | answer is in my original df -h | 15:41 |
| hipitihop | iow, sda6 is on /var/lib | 15:41 |
| hipitihop | am I correct ? | 15:42 |
| mycoDA | uhuh | 15:42 |
| mycoDA | lol - my memory sux | 15:42 |
| mycoDA | /var/lib/splunk | 15:42 |
| mycoDA | i knew something sounded wrong with what i said lol | 15:42 |
| hipitihop | np, thanks for trying to help mycoDA, I learnd something anyway .. now will see if indeed that's going to work | 15:49 |
| mycoDA | fingers crossed | 15:50 |
| mycoDA | hope it does it for you | 15:50 |
| hipitihop | hmm, sudo dpkg -i --instdir /var/lib splunk-4.2-96430-linux-2.6-amd64.deb claims "no such file or directory" | 15:53 |
| hipitihop | anyway, wrong channel now, totally ot | 15:53 |
| jsheezy | can someone point me to the guide for using external storage for videos on mythbuntu? | 16:00 |
| mycoDA | point mythvideo to its mount point via one of the storage groups | 16:02 |
| mycoDA | done | 16:02 |
| mycoDA | there isnt really support for metadata on removable storage yet tho jsheezy | 16:06 |
| jsheezy | oh i did not know that... that stinks! | 16:07 |
| mycoDA | there are scripts for it iirc | 16:08 |
| mycoDA | puts the metadata in files with the video (same dir) | 16:08 |
| mycoDA | retrieves it on reconnect | 16:08 |
| mycoDA | havent tried em | 16:08 |
| jsheezy | looks like i have some experimenting to do | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | lol yup | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | good luck | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | havent had much joy with automatic metadata population myself lol | 16:09 |
| jsheezy | do you know of a way to make an external usb drive static? meaning if I unplug it and plug it back in it remains the same device? | 16:41 |
| tgm4883 | jsheezy, it should already do that? | 16:53 |
| jsheezy | so if i fdisk and see it as sdc1 is it always going to be that sdc1? | 16:54 |
| hipitihop | is there any reason I should not install syslog-ng | 17:32 |
| dewman | is this just a generic error? playCtx, Error: Attempting to setup a player, but it already exists. | 18:47 |
| dewman | this occurs when watching live tv. I dropped all the tuners,sources, added hdhr tuner, did a scan, watched live tv, went to try to tune audio channels, then went back to live tv and now I get this. | 18:48 |
| dewman | grrr | 18:48 |
| dewman | Wonder if this has something to do with not using the device id | 18:52 |
| dewman | but rather using the ip address of the tuner... | 18:52 |
