[03:59] 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. [04:01] 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. [04:04] Is anyone able to answer the above in their sleep? Typing while sleeping ok too. [04:16] More info --> hdd: IRQ failed +buncha numbers [04:16] 3 ident. lines. plus 3 other hdd: lines. [09:09] Morning. [09:14] Morning JonathanD [09:24] howdy rmg51 [09:24] o/ [10:40] #ZSNES [10:41] sorry xchat cleared the / tag [11:06] :D [11:06] hi mn2010 [12:07] mornin' ? [12:10] morning, sorry doing 1000 things at once [12:16] Morning. [12:18] Morning peoples [12:23] so one of us is VERY busy. [12:24] That's one WHALE of a multi-tasking project ! [12:28] every morning -_-... webmin makes most of it a little easier though....

[14:12] grub [14:12] 1.99 [14:12] No, NOT 1.99 [14:18] 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] from menu.lst (grub built in '06) [14:23] Grub-1 - What kernel version, [14:23] hold that thought, beb [14:23] brb* [14:36] More info --> hdd: IRQ probe failed 0xffffcfa [14:45] back [14:46] howdy mn2010 [14:46] hello [14:46] guess User: left [14:47] In and out as I try things to get clear.com to work well as ISP to replace comcast. [14:47] Stupid Midori, you would think after 3 years they could add WebGL to Webkit+ [14:47] LMAO~! i used to work for Clearwire [14:49] 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 [14:51] 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. [14:52] You will NEVER get advertised Speed, Expect constant outages and i can promise you, you will hate billing... [14:53] 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+. [14:54] Not to mention forget transmit stability. Go ahead and do a 3 minute ICMP Ping to test.clear.com [14:55] is that different from a normal ping ? [14:55] I've personally had a rather good experience with clear. [14:56] 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] The WiMax has been steady. However my NIC has issues trying to autonegotiate repeatedly into 10mbps& half-duplex, UGGGH [14:57] No, ICMP is the protocol Ping uses(Well, technically you can specify that... with the service option) [14:57] What does time warner charge for their lowest cost tier broadband ? [14:57] $20/month [14:57] What speed ? d/u ? [14:58] 2.5m/1m Top tier(local) is only $45/month [14:58] for like 15/3 ? [14:58] Turbo($45) is 15-25(Var)m/5-10(Var)m [14:59] we need google fiber. [14:59] Agree :D [14:59] make sure you all sign up. [14:59] Or them to roll out OC:3 at a decent pricepoint [14:59] heh [15:00] municipal owned last-mile would be nice. [15:00] 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 [15:01] 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 [15:02] mn2010: you were a clear customer or employee ? [15:03] Employee [15:03] They were still doing Roll-out in Rochester, NY when i worked for them. [15:05] InHisName: Which Modem did they give you? [15:07] 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. [15:08] I coulda gotten the latest for same money but no visa card from direct phone or store. Visa was online special only. [15:10] 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 [15:11] This modem is good enough for the 4 months. [15:12] 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] lol, yeah that i could see [15:13] Mine was up to 30 days to refund it all. That should cover early deaths. The rest should be just fine. [15:15] 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%. [15:19] 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 ? [15:21] 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 [15:22] 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 [15:25] 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. [15:26] 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. [15:27] They claim 0.5 for up for basic here. 1.0 for unlimted up. [15:28] Well, You will never get even near the Cap with Basic anyways, The towers give Priority to Mac's of Unlimited and Grandfathered Subscribers [15:29] 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] good GSM Signal amplifier goes a long way btw... [15:29] Do 5 lights produce better speeds than 3 lights ? All other conditions the same. [15:30] OFCOURSE! [15:31] 3 lights is 19-27% signal, -78.44dbm(Avg.) [15:31] i know exactly which modem you have too... only one wimax series had a 5light indicator... [15:32] config shows WIXFBR-117 [15:32] CINR 11db, 2 lights, Hmmmmmm [15:32] you have to realise, like any LOS wireless technology, Clear uses WiMAX(GSM) Technology. below40% youre packet dropping is near 65% [15:35] what was that? [15:36] sorry TOR dropped me for a sec, a bridge dropped my connection for some reason.. [15:36] i did say that dont go by the Modems Configuration page [15:36] Hmmm, I out lasted someone for a change. [15:36] Clear has a page that can monitor at the towers thats ALOT more accurate [15:37] Can I go to it? [15:37] No, you have to have a minimum of a Clear Tier1 Username [15:37] help desk persons etc ? [15:41] yes [15:41] I had called customer support but got nowhere with this: What is the LAN set to:? 100Mbps & full or automatic or ??? [15:41] sorry was trying to find my old training info. - Auto-sensing [15:43] Boy that was fast answer. He called level 2, and even called back to say no answer. Time hour span. [15:45] 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. [15:47] 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! [15:48] ^thats what i was... [15:49] macid ? [15:50] I have a clear email addy? [15:50] on the back of youre modem, there is a MAC#(Mac ID) that identifies the modem [15:50] mailto:L2Support@clearwire.com [15:51] Since I already have the answer, now, what benefit is there to doing this ? [15:51] 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] no point now, but its good for future usage [15:51] Oh, Ok [15:52] 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] what is that issue about ? [15:53] or just define DCOP [15:54] DCOP is simply put a issue with the firmware of 3 different models of modems. [15:54] Basically put, the firmware would lock the Tower-ID of one tower and stop auto-sensing/Switching between towers... [15:55] Switching towers alot is a good benefit ? [15:55] L3(Engineering) through a fit over it, thus the push to newer modems(Cisco) [15:56] No, but Clear has outages like Bad gas. We had towers go down nightly and Alot of Conversions still going on. [15:56] Oh, then some benefit for even stationary modems. [15:57] 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... [15:58] 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. [16:01] 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. [16:02] good thing you did... you could only run it safely for about 40 minutes every 2 hours... [16:02] anyone play with sheets of foil to enhance the reception, or is it not worth the bother ? [16:03] No effect, it would probably reduce signal qaulity. Frequency is too-low for good effects.. [16:03] Hmm, never even saw that in customer comments in negative sections that I checked. Amazon etc. [16:03] 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. [16:04] You usually Dont, you will all over youtube though.. [16:08] It dropped another db in CINR. I'm off to move modem to see if I can find better spot. [16:19] suggest near windows, avoid electrical outlets, Microwaves, 220v AC equipment, Speakers and primary building studs(as they ground) [16:20] How about in attic ? or is temps too extreme ? [16:21] it depends... whats the temperature's in youre attic [16:22] Summer? <140 usually, Now ? <115, mostly 45-99 [16:22] should never run the modem in temperatures about abient 94.7*F for extended periods of time [16:22] ambient* rather... [16:23] Ok, keep out of attic then [16:24] honestly if it didnt get that hot it be perfect. [17:27] Why is Libnotify being as dumb as possible today [18:24] mn2010: I got a new location for modem, the rear of a walkin closet. 5 lights, WiMAX CINR 22db, RSSI -72dbm [18:25] My upload is best ever, 0.95 Mbps [18:25] :D! Verify it!, make sure its a stable connection. There is false-positives with Interference. But if not Congrats! [18:25] ^well i guess its been verfied lol [18:25] But congrats! :D [18:25] The download is pretty disappointing but prolly 'cause the tower is sharing with too many. 2.105Mbps [18:26] latency quicker 62ms instead of ~99ms [18:27] Dl better now, lunch crowd gone back to work --> 3.95 [18:27] Upl same 0.95 [18:28] 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. [18:44] VoIP or Sip? [19:01] 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. [20:19] Im assuming nickserv is back? [20:22] !ping [20:25] !ping? [20:26] it was only down for a couple minutes [20:36] well i seen a notice in the earlier log... Radeon/ATI (Open Source Driver) doesnt support fan controls so my videocard decided to overheat.... [20:38] brb again... fan troubles
