| pace_t_zulu | morning wrst | 12:53 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | morning pace_t_zulu how you doing? | 12:57 |
| wrst | average_guy: did you have any luck? | 12:57 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: i'm well ... how are you | 12:58 |
| wrst | doing well halfway to a 3 day weekend! | 12:58 |
| average_guy | wrst:I'm getting there. Boots to a prompt now.. | 12:58 |
| wrst | average_guy: if you read the wiki on getting xorg going you will be in good shape | 12:59 |
| wrst | its provides really good instructions on graphic card drivers etc | 12:59 |
| average_guy | yeah, thats where I'm at. | 13:00 |
| average_guy | Arch is pretty cool. Reminds me of pretty much every distribution 10 yrs ago | 13:01 |
| average_guy | Is not hard to set up. Just slow. The documentation is suprisingly easy to find | 13:01 |
| wrst | yeah average_guy the key thing about arch is that you have only what you want so it makes for a much quicker system but it isn't for everyone | 13:35 |
| average_guy | oh yes, I diggin it :) | 13:36 |
| wrst | got X going yet average_guy? | 13:37 |
| average_guy | no, still working on the bootloader | 13:38 |
| average_guy | it didn't see my xubuntu partition | 13:38 |
| average_guy | and I now have burg | 13:38 |
| wrst | hmm average_guy I actually used grub2 in arch and installed the os-prober from the aur and it works really well, much better than ubuntu's patched grub 2 | 13:41 |
| wrst | but grub in arch is pretty simple should just be a simple edit to the menu.lst and you should be in xubuntu glory | 13:42 |
| average_guy | thats what I had to do, then installed burg from xubuntu to get the graphical boot interface | 13:45 |
| wrst | i'm not a huge grub2 on ubuntu fan but on arch its winning me over | 13:46 |
| average_guy | why not? Is easy to customize, looks good, supports everything.. whats not to like? | 13:50 |
| average_guy | wrst:got x to load | 14:16 |
| wrst | cool average_guy :) | 14:17 |
| average_guy | can't log in fir sum reason tho :( | 14:17 |
| wrst | average_guy: you set up a user? | 14:17 |
| wrst | oh and can't log into what? :) | 14:18 |
| average_guy | no, still working as root for now | 14:18 |
| wrst | ok what can you not log into average_guy? | 14:18 |
| wrst | gdm/kdm that kind of thing? | 14:19 |
| average_guy | I cant log into x, I could log in just fine before I changed the runlevel but now that I at the little X login screen, it won't let me past | 14:20 |
| wrst | so startx doesn't work from the cli? or do you have something in rc.conf that starts x? | 14:20 |
| average_guy | no no, I modified inittab to start runlevel 5 | 14:21 |
| average_guy | now I'm staring at a login screen I cant get past | 14:22 |
| wrst | average_guy: why did you do that? | 14:22 |
| average_guy | seemed like the thing to do at the time? | 14:23 |
| wrst | ha ha average_guy what login manager are you using? | 14:23 |
| average_guy | ?? | 14:23 |
| wrst | average_guy: that's not the best way to do it | 14:23 |
| average_guy | idk | 14:23 |
| wrst | display manager? | 14:23 |
| average_guy | x | 14:24 |
| wrst | average_guy: i would put that back as you had it | 14:24 |
| wrst | average_guy: what desktop are you going to eventually run? | 14:24 |
| average_guy | xdm is wut I got xfce is where I'm trying to get | 14:24 |
| wrst | yeah average_guy you need to install xfce and xdm and have xdm as a startup module in rc.conf | 14:26 |
| wrst | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce | 14:26 |
| wrst | you will also need to start dbus | 14:26 |
| wrst | #rc.d start dbus but to have it work automagically you need dbus in the modules in rc.conf | 14:27 |
| wrst | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Manager | 14:27 |
| wrst | i'm guessing xdm is available but not for sure I've never dallied in xfce but any display manager will work | 14:27 |
| average_guy | ok, getting it un-broken right now | 14:28 |
| wrst | you shouldn't have to mess with run levels at all unless you just really want to | 14:29 |
| Xpistos | Hey, do any of you guys know anything about openswan? | 16:45 |
| wrst | average_guy: any luck? | 16:58 |
| wrst | hey Xpistos! | 16:58 |
| Xpistos | Hey | 16:58 |
| average_guy | wrst: takin a break from it, kid just got home | 17:23 |
| wrst | ahh enjoy | 17:24 |
| Xpistos | is there a way to label an external hard drive by its UUID | 19:06 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 19:09 |
| Xpistos | Thank you sir | 19:10 |
| cyberanger | and look for the device & matching uuid | 19:10 |
| Xpistos | Roger | 19:10 |
| wrst | hello cyberanger | 19:10 |
| cyberanger | hey wrst | 19:10 |
| Unit193 | sudo blkid will show you them :P | 19:10 |
| wrst | and Unit193 :) | 19:10 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: but it has to be installed for that | 19:11 |
| Unit193 | wrst: Howdy | 19:12 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger: It is in newer versions of Ubuntu | 19:12 |
| Unit193 | I personally like sudo fdisk -l better | 19:13 |
| Xpistos | brain fart | 19:14 |
| Xpistos | format ext | 19:14 |
| Xpistos | mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc# right | 19:15 |
| Xpistos | w | 19:15 |
| Xpistos | cyberanger: that is telling me that /dev/sdc/7dc8490d-b5a1-40c4-9edb-dcd64bc6a19e is not a directory | 19:18 |
| Xpistos | does it need to be mounted somewhere first? | 19:19 |
| Xpistos | Okay how about this. I have three usb drives. I have a backup script saving to /mnt/email-backup. I want the usb drives to auto mount to /mnt/email-backup. How can I do that? | 19:35 |
| Xpistos | or would it be better to set a cron job to mount -a say 10 minutes before the backup starts | 19:37 |
| cyberanger | that's saying what? I think your misreading your output, can I see | 19:49 |
| Unit193 | Command |pastebinit type thing? | 19:50 |
| Xpistos | YEAH! I totally understand crontab now | 20:37 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: glad you understand cron better, can I see your output from ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 20:38 |
| cyberanger | I think it's off | 20:38 |
| Xpistos | doesn't matter | 20:38 |
| Xpistos | what he wanted was wrong | 20:38 |
| cyberanger | you didn't want automount by uuid | 20:39 |
| cyberanger | ? | 20:39 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: what was wrong? | 20:41 |
| Xpistos | I was told to label the hard drive as it's uuid | 20:46 |
| Xpistos | but what he wanted was for the drive to be mounted to the same mount point | 20:47 |
| Xpistos | so I set fstab to mount both UUID to the same directory | 20:47 |
| Xpistos | then crontab mounat -a at 11 pm | 20:47 |
| Xpistos | and umount the drive at 3 am | 20:48 |
| Xpistos | the backup script will run at 11:05 and finish by 12 | 20:48 |
| Xpistos | so when the people come in the next day they pull the drive and put in the new one | 20:48 |
| Xpistos | easy peasy, lemon squeshy | 20:48 |
| * cyberanger hands Xpistos a peice of wood to knock on | 20:50 | |
| * Xpistos knocks on his head | 20:50 | |
| Juzzy | http://i53.tinypic.com/2a9uogm.jpg <-- our production cluster | 20:51 |
| Juzzy | 20:1 production vm ratios most all are full production servers. Labs, QA, DR are different ones | 20:54 |
| cyberanger | man, a friend got in pcmag :-D | 22:18 |
| cyberanger | (relating to android rooting on the T-Mobile G2) | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | That's great! For a good thing I would hope | 22:18 |
| cyberanger | yeah, good effort into a guide for rooting the G2 (after many folks including himself & myself spent a month working out the bug in the NAND drive) | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | Was there ever something from Paul Tagliamonte? | 22:20 |
| cyberanger | I don't recognize that name | 22:24 |
| cyberanger | perhaps he's got an IRC nick? | 22:24 |
| Unit193 | paultag | 22:26 |
| cyberanger | think I also saw that nick, yeah | 22:30 |
| cyberanger | http://www.esecurityplanet.com/network-security/Defending-Against-The-Apache-Killer-Exploit-3939081.htm | 22:32 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: yeah, another active one in the #g2 channel (when the NAND issue was big) more active than me | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | He was the first to hack one of the nooks I think | 22:42 |
| Unit193 | First or second for something | 22:42 |
| cyberanger | I've not got the full article, so idk if he's in it or not (but now that you say that, I do recall hearing about the nook) | 22:46 |
