| InHisName | In booting, one machine works a floppy driver fine, then hda: some stuff just fine, then several attempts at doing hdd: some stuff, keeps failing and trying some more. After giving up, it loads sda: stuff just fine. | 03:59 |
|---|---|---|
| InHisName | I checked /etc/fstab/ and only /dev/hda1/ and /dev/sda1/ are set to be mounted. There is NO hdd mentioned, there. Checked mount and nothing there either. Where to find boot process that thinks there is a hdd to work with ? It does not exist and needs to be removed. | 04:01 |
| InHisName | Is anyone able to answer the above in their sleep? Typing while sleeping ok too. | 04:04 |
| InHisName | More info --> hdd: IRQ failed +buncha numbers | 04:16 |

| JonathanD | hi mn2010 | 11:06 |
| InHisName | mornin' ? | 12:07 |
| mn2010 | morning, sorry doing 1000 things at once | 12:10 |
| waltman | Morning. | 12:16 |
| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples | 12:18 |
| InHisName | so one of us is VERY busy. | 12:23 |
| InHisName | That's one WHALE of a multi-tasking project ! | 12:24 |
| mn2010 | every morning -_-... webmin makes most of it a little easier though.... | 12:28 |
| InHisName | In booting, one machine works a floppy driver fine, then hda: some stuff just fine, then several attempts at doing hdd: some stuff, keeps failing and trying some more. After giving up, it loads sda: stuff just fine. | 13:26 |

| InHisName | More info --> hdd: IRQ failed +buncha numbers | 13:27 |
| InHisName | 3 identical fail lines. plus 3 other hdd: lines. | 13:27 |
| mn2010 | What bootloader? | 13:45 |
| InHisName | grub | 14:12 |
| InHisName | 1.99 | 14:12 |
| InHisName | No, NOT 1.99 | 14:12 |
| InHisName | all refer to either hda1 or sda1, except this one -> kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda1 astlinux=i586 astkd=/dev/hdc1 ide=nodma where astkd refers to hdc1 instead. NO refs to hdd anywhere. | 14:18 |
| InHisName | from menu.lst (grub built in '06) | 14:18 |
| mn2010 | Grub-1 - What kernel version, | 14:23 |
| mn2010 | hold that thought, beb | 14:23 |
| mn2010 | brb* | 14:23 |
| InHisName | More info --> hdd: IRQ probe failed 0xffffcfa | 14:36 |
| mn2010 | back | 14:45 |
| JonathanD | howdy mn2010 | 14:46 |
| mn2010 | hello | 14:46 |
| mn2010 | guess User:<InHisName> left | 14:46 |
| InHisName | In and out as I try things to get clear.com to work well as ISP to replace comcast. | 14:47 |
| mn2010 | Stupid Midori, you would think after 3 years they could add WebGL to Webkit+ | 14:47 |
| mn2010 | LMAO~! i used to work for Clearwire | 14:47 |
| mn2010 | Dont expect much, we did stateful packet injection to prefer TCP Headers containing Windows-NT/IE7... they hated everything to do with OpenSource... You have no idea how many times i got into arguemetns with Tier3 trying to get them to loosen up on stateful-QoS | 14:49 |
| InHisName | No, I see that the 6Megs down & 1Meg up is really -> 1.2 to 5.5megs & up is .23 to .65. Never going over 2/3 of promise upload. | 14:51 |
| mn2010 | You will NEVER get advertised Speed, Expect constant outages and i can promise you, you will hate billing... | 14:52 |
| InHisName | Will only be 4 months until I am an NON customer for 91 days with comcast. Then I can apply for network essentials. Thanks to my foster child hanging around for at least a year+. | 14:53 |
| mn2010 | Not to mention forget transmit stability. Go ahead and do a 3 minute ICMP Ping to test.clear.com | 14:54 |
| InHisName | is that different from a normal ping ? | 14:55 |
| JonathanD | I've personally had a rather good experience with clear. | 14:55 |
| mn2010 | Honestly, i know nothing about Comcast, i live in upstate-pa, on the border from New York. Comcast is not Available here. Were Time-Warner territory. | 14:56 |
| InHisName | The WiMax has been steady. However my NIC has issues trying to autonegotiate repeatedly into 10mbps& half-duplex, UGGGH | 14:56 |
| mn2010 | No, ICMP is the protocol Ping uses(Well, technically you can specify that... with the service option) | 14:57 |
| InHisName | What does time warner charge for their lowest cost tier broadband ? | 14:57 |
| mn2010 | $20/month | 14:57 |
| InHisName | What speed ? d/u ? | 14:57 |
| mn2010 | 2.5m/1m Top tier(local) is only $45/month | 14:58 |
| InHisName | for like 15/3 ? | 14:58 |
| mn2010 | Turbo($45) is 15-25(Var)m/5-10(Var)m | 14:58 |
| JonathanD | we need google fiber. | 14:59 |
| mn2010 | Agree :D | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | make sure you all sign up. | 14:59 |
| mn2010 | Or them to roll out OC:3 at a decent pricepoint | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | heh | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | municipal owned last-mile would be nice. | 15:00 |
| InHisName | I think comcast says 16/3 for $49, but modem is $7, and there are taxes, and a $10 non tv customer fee. or Do basic for $9.98 ==> total nearly $70 | 15:00 |
| mn2010 | i paid $53.45/month with all fees a year ago, but i lived 35 miles from here then... different branch... same price point but we use a bussiness line here(shared) so im not sure on the price point | 15:01 |
| InHisName | mn2010: you were a clear customer or employee ? | 15:02 |
| mn2010 | Employee | 15:03 |
| mn2010 | They were still doing Roll-out in Rochester, NY when i worked for them. | 15:03 |
| mn2010 | InHisName: Which Modem did they give you? | 15:05 |
| InHisName | They didn't give, they sold and older 'home' clear modem with Wi-Fi for 1/2 ($49) Then included a $100 visa debit card after 31 days can apply for it. 1st month & modem was $13 net. | 15:07 |
| InHisName | I coulda gotten the latest for same money but no visa card from direct phone or store. Visa was online special only. | 15:08 |
| mn2010 | better route then the renting method... but bad deal.... They were preparing to replace all previous Clearwire(Grandfathered accounts) with a brand New Cisco-Series 4g(WiMAX) Modem. It was alot more stable and had a 14dbi @ 104mw Antenna | 15:10 |
| InHisName | This modem is good enough for the 4 months. | 15:11 |
| mn2010 | i started in Tier1 tech/Billing, only issue with Referrer Sales is if anything hardware goes wrong they wont replace and the occasional 120days for a refund (No Service area sale) | 15:12 |
| mn2010 | lol, yeah that i could see | 15:12 |
| InHisName | Mine was up to 30 days to refund it all. That should cover early deaths. The rest should be just fine. | 15:13 |
| mn2010 | Clear will go up to 90days for a refund(You have to get Retention though to do it), they look at you're usage and if you were dissatisfied they will refund you up to 70%. | 15:15 |
| InHisName | There is a basic service with 3/0.5. If I see 2.54down/.59 up with unlimited, Will basic cap at .47 or so with same conditions or will it be more like .09 ? | 15:19 |
| mn2010 | im not going to try and give you a opposing qoute... the entire time i was there i never seen anyone get the throughput they were paying for and QoS made it even worse | 15:21 |
| mn2010 | Unlimited would give you between 5-7mbps down and .79mbps - 1.33mbps up, max though... best i seen but that was a customer out of Austin, TX | 15:22 |
| mn2010 | basic(2.5mbps) will cap you at 2.57mbps down(Hard-Limit), and upload was 0.33mbps(Hard-limit). its been 2 years since i worked for clear/clearwire but that was then. | 15:25 |
| InHisName | What I meant to ask was if unlimited was shared to low point of 2.54down/0.45up, will the basic be approx the same numbers or will clear abuse them much lower than the unlimited customers that are doing below the basic speeds. I assume the tower is the speed bottleneck. Too many users online, yadda, yadda. | 15:26 |
| InHisName | They claim 0.5 for up for basic here. 1.0 for unlimted up. | 15:27 |
| mn2010 | Well, You will never get even near the Cap with Basic anyways, The towers give Priority to Mac's of Unlimited and Grandfathered Subscribers | 15:28 |
| mn2010 | But like i said, hard-cap was .33, .5 is the advertised speed.... you just have to test it per tower and keep a eye on those Signal lights... | 15:29 |
| mn2010 | good GSM Signal amplifier goes a long way btw... | 15:29 |
| InHisName | Do 5 lights produce better speeds than 3 lights ? All other conditions the same. | 15:29 |
| mn2010 | OFCOURSE! | 15:30 |
| mn2010 | 3 lights is 19-27% signal, -78.44dbm(Avg.) | 15:31 |
| mn2010 | i know exactly which modem you have too... only one wimax series had a 5light indicator... | 15:31 |
| InHisName | config shows WIXFBR-117 | 15:32 |
| InHisName | CINR 11db, 2 lights, Hmmmmmm | 15:32 |
| mn2010 | you have to realise, like any LOS wireless technology, Clear uses WiMAX(GSM) Technology. below40% youre packet dropping is near 65% | 15:32 |
| InHisName | what was that? | 15:35 |
| mn2010 | sorry TOR dropped me for a sec, a bridge dropped my connection for some reason.. | 15:36 |
| mn2010 | i did say that dont go by the Modems Configuration page | 15:36 |
| InHisName | Hmmm, I out lasted someone for a change. | 15:36 |
| mn2010 | Clear has a page that can monitor at the towers thats ALOT more accurate | 15:36 |
| InHisName | Can I go to it? | 15:37 |
| mn2010 | No, you have to have a minimum of a Clear Tier1 Username | 15:37 |
| InHisName | help desk persons etc ? | 15:37 |
| mn2010 | yes | 15:41 |
| InHisName | I had called customer support but got nowhere with this: What is the LAN set to:? 100Mbps & full or automatic or ??? | 15:41 |
| mn2010 | sorry was trying to find my old training info. - Auto-sensing | 15:41 |
| InHisName | Boy that was fast answer. He called level 2, and even called back to say no answer. Time hour span. | 15:43 |
| InHisName | I've been having a lot of trouble with my NIC in keeping it locked to 100/full and not have it change gears. Found out I did not have good module that I thought to be setting. Now with another card. tulip driver. I hope this one stays locked. | 15:45 |
| mn2010 | just send a email to L2Support@clearwire.com, requesting Data from Clearsky. Tell them youre macid and make sure you send it from youre Clearwire/Clear email Address! | 15:47 |
| mn2010 | ^thats what i was... | 15:48 |
| InHisName | macid ? | 15:49 |
| InHisName | I have a clear email addy? | 15:50 |
| mn2010 | on the back of youre modem, there is a MAC#(Mac ID) that identifies the modem | 15:50 |
| mn2010 | mailto:L2Support@clearwire.com | 15:50 |
| InHisName | Since I already have the answer, now, what benefit is there to doing this ? | 15:51 |
| mn2010 | if they give you a hard time or dont respond, email Corpaccounts@clearwire.com and tell them Level 2 is not responding. to warn you Level 2 is small and swamped it usually takes a while | 15:51 |
| mn2010 | no point now, but its good for future usage | 15:51 |
| InHisName | Oh, Ok | 15:51 |
| mn2010 | not to mention if you have DCOP issue others did with that modem, they can reset it instantly solving the issue without 2 hours on the phone with Level1 | 15:52 |
| InHisName | what is that issue about ? | 15:52 |
| InHisName | or just define DCOP | 15:53 |
| mn2010 | DCOP is simply put a issue with the firmware of 3 different models of modems. | 15:54 |
| mn2010 | Basically put, the firmware would lock the Tower-ID of one tower and stop auto-sensing/Switching between towers... | 15:54 |
| InHisName | Switching towers alot is a good benefit ? | 15:55 |
| mn2010 | L3(Engineering) through a fit over it, thus the push to newer modems(Cisco) | 15:55 |
| mn2010 | No, but Clear has outages like Bad gas. We had towers go down nightly and Alot of Conversions still going on. | 15:56 |
| InHisName | Oh, then some benefit for even stationary modems. | 15:56 |
| mn2010 | not to mention, tower-load.... like i said, if a tower was overloaded and you're DCOP'ed youre modem would sit in a loop trying to connect to the same tower... Its similiar to having a outdated PRL... | 15:57 |
| mn2010 | Absolutely, BTW NEVER USE THE TRAVEL MODEMS... there POS, Period... i probably replaced 1,400 or more during the time that i worked there. The Controller burns out on them and is beyond operational temperature in about 14 minutes... With the only exception being the Embedded one's. | 15:58 |
| InHisName | Good, then the one I got is good enough. I almost went with stick. But I wasn't sure how to use it with my linux box router, so I chickened out. | 16:01 |
| mn2010 | good thing you did... you could only run it safely for about 40 minutes every 2 hours... | 16:02 |
| InHisName | anyone play with sheets of foil to enhance the reception, or is it not worth the bother ? | 16:02 |
| mn2010 | No effect, it would probably reduce signal qaulity. Frequency is too-low for good effects.. | 16:03 |
| InHisName | Hmm, never even saw that in customer comments in negative sections that I checked. Amazon etc. | 16:03 |
| mn2010 | on the other hand... if you know where youre tower is, you could Desolder the antenna and solder on a Type-B BNC connector and get or make a Cantenna.... They work great. | 16:03 |
| mn2010 | You usually Dont, you will all over youtube though.. | 16:04 |
| InHisName | It dropped another db in CINR. I'm off to move modem to see if I can find better spot. | 16:08 |
| mn2010 | suggest near windows, avoid electrical outlets, Microwaves, 220v AC equipment, Speakers and primary building studs(as they ground) | 16:19 |
| InHisName | How about in attic ? or is temps too extreme ? | 16:20 |
| mn2010 | it depends... whats the temperature's in youre attic | 16:21 |
| InHisName | Summer? <140 usually, Now ? <115, mostly 45-99 | 16:22 |
| mn2010 | should never run the modem in temperatures about abient 94.7*F for extended periods of time | 16:22 |
| mn2010 | ambient* rather... | 16:22 |
| InHisName | Ok, keep out of attic then | 16:23 |
| mn2010 | honestly if it didnt get that hot it be perfect. | 16:24 |
| mn2010 | Why is Libnotify being as dumb as possible today | 17:27 |
| InHisName | mn2010: I got a new location for modem, the rear of a walkin closet. 5 lights, WiMAX CINR 22db, RSSI -72dbm | 18:24 |
| InHisName | My upload is best ever, 0.95 Mbps | 18:25 |
| mn2010 | :D! Verify it!, make sure its a stable connection. There is false-positives with Interference. But if not Congrats! | 18:25 |
| mn2010 | ^well i guess its been verfied lol | 18:25 |
| mn2010 | But congrats! :D | 18:25 |
| InHisName | The download is pretty disappointing but prolly 'cause the tower is sharing with too many. 2.105Mbps | 18:25 |
| InHisName | latency quicker 62ms instead of ~99ms | 18:26 |
| InHisName | Dl better now, lunch crowd gone back to work --> 3.95 | 18:27 |
| InHisName | Upl same 0.95 | 18:27 |
| InHisName | Now to test the VoIP phone for clarity. Will someone volunteer an number to tell me how clear I sound. 0.95 upload is limiting factor. PM number if you wish. | 18:28 |
| mn2010 | VoIP or Sip? | 18:44 |
| InHisName | yes for me. I just need someone to listen to my outgoing speaking to see if 0.95 is plenty to work great with. Old fashioned line or cell are ok. | 19:01 |
| mn2010 | Im assuming nickserv is back? | 20:19 |
| mn2010 | !ping | 20:22 |
| mn2010 | !ping? | 20:25 |
| pleia2 | it was only down for a couple minutes | 20:26 |
| mn2010 | well i seen a notice in the earlier log... Radeon/ATI (Open Source Driver) doesnt support fan controls so my videocard decided to overheat.... | 20:36 |
| mn2010 | brb again... fan troubles | 20:38 |
