I've picked up files off pretty bad drives with it [06:22] i got a prob. the drive is 2 tb and im trying to fix it from 160g [06:22] tried them all [06:22] Kilos: what do you mean? [06:23] foemost scalpel testdisk [06:23] im not running from cd im using my 160 gig drive to work on a 2 TB drive [06:24] the prob is in the 2 TB drives firmware [06:25] http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Samsung-Internal-Drives/HD204UI-Firmware-patch/m-p/142695 [06:26] the more i tried to install ubuntu the more it marked bad sectors, till the i/o error comes up all the time [06:27] im not trying to save any data off it. just want it to work and accept ubuntu [06:28] i have the patch but the i/o error must be fixed first [06:32] oh [06:32] fsck? [06:33] tried it [06:33] fsck -f /dev/sdb [06:34] then i saw one site says dont use fsck till other stuff is fixed first [06:34] hehe [06:41] and some sites first want you cell number and play music. so i dont waste data trying to see what their cure is [06:43] and smartmon tools wants $39 [06:43] swines [06:52] hi zeref [07:12] hiya maiatoday [07:12] hi timkeller [07:12] and jrgns [07:14] good morning world [07:14] * inetpro greets the folk before getting into trouble with Kilos [07:16] Morning inetpro [07:22] hi Kilos [07:22] morning inetpro [07:23] hiya inetpro [07:23] hi henkj [07:23] hahaha [07:24] morning peeps [08:12] hi everyone [08:12] don't be alarmed if our team expires, I sent all the emails and we are on the next meeting slot [08:12] If all goes well we will be official again soon [08:14] oh my\ [08:14] Hi maia , thank you for all the efforts [08:27] inetpro, so what was the troubleshooting yesterday?

[08:34] Maaz, ty [08:34] You are welcome Kilos [08:39] Kilos: anything and everything in one day, bandwidth issues, networking issues, proxy issues, software upgrade issues, anti-virus, etc, etc [08:39] oh and having to deal with impatient users on top of everything [08:40] fun and games [08:40] Impatient users , tooooo many of those [08:40] And picnic users [08:41] id10t [08:43] Hi charl_ [08:45] ai inetpro that sucks but you still kicking so all is good [08:46] Kilos: hehe, the only problem is when you reach the end of the day and you ask yourself what have I done today [08:47] well you can list it all [08:47] make a hard copy on paper and read it when you wonder those things [08:48] Kilos what keeps you busy all day [08:49] cooking shepherding washing dishes and watering my strawberries and chilis [08:50] and fiddling with pc's [08:50] ok are you on plot [08:50] ya [08:50] west of pta [08:52] ok sounds nice.

[08:56] Ya we had a burglary last week almost 200 000 rands worth of tools stolen. Some other plots and farms in and around town were also burglared recently. Crime shot up the last few weeks, looks they are busy with afirnative shopping [08:57] ouch [08:57] Thats why they call a sheep a take away [08:57] lol [08:58] 3 years ago they stole 28 of our sheep, cut their throats and load them on a 1400 bakkie. That wasn't a nice sight [08:59] yeah things arent good for farmers [09:00] when i was running a beef farm outside rustenburg they used to tie cows to a tree or fence pole and cut hind quarrters of and duck [09:00] off [09:00] Bad. i don't know how one can be o cruel. [09:01] cruel is just another word to them [09:02] without meaning [09:11] hmm modem just disconnected [09:15] hrm, does anyone have any good hints as to the best way to trace memory leaks in C code [09:18] Symmetria valgrind [09:19] thanks, will take a look, I may have found the issue though, but will take a coupla hours to se [09:19] dont think I was clearing one of my postgres result checks [09:20] :P if its not using 3 gigs of ram in 4 hours, I fixed it [09:20] heh, come to the conclusion though that Im gonna have to start adding a few threaded db queues to this thing though to try and speed it up [09:21] takes just over 40 minutes to actually start at the moment [09:22] how much memory is it supposed to use? [09:23] heh, bout 500meg [09:24] well, actually depends on how many data feeds Im throwing into it, if I go up to like, 9 feeds, it could get to over a gig [09:24] so pretty serious memory leak [09:24] at the moment though, feeding it two full tables, its hitting about 450 - 500meg on startup, and 9 hours later is using 3.3gig [09:24] :p [09:24] a* [09:24] yeah, as I said, pretty damn sure its got to do with not clearing a database query result [09:25] and at the rate this thing runs queries, it could easily use that kinda memory [09:25] lol, its executing 900 thousand database queries just on startup [09:25] 13950 quagga 20 0 170m 80m 2324 S 29,9 1,0 1:48.56 bgpd [09:26] so far so good though with 200k routes outta 900k built [09:26] those poor dbs :P [09:41] ARGH FUCK, *looks for some dry clothes to wear*, my damn dog was outside playing in the rain and just came and launched herself into my lap soaking wet [09:41] 32 kilograms of dripping wet very excited puppy dog [09:50] morning all [09:50] hi magespawn [09:51] hey Kilos [09:51] i think to do a frimware upgrade you can connect the drive to a working pc [09:52] http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/223571en [09:53] im kinda bang and first gotta see if ddrescue can rescue something so that the patch cd can see the drive not give i/o error [09:54] just takes long [09:54] oh and that logfile is for it to use with next command so it doesnt redo what it has done [09:56] would have liked to have tried ddrescue on a small drive first to see and try understand [10:01] hmmm peer got him [10:12] where did you get that info magespawn_ it would be easier from a working pc methinks [11:16] hey Kilos [11:16] power probs [11:17] i have written a short piece for our local newspaper on FOSS what do yo guys think? [11:17] http://slexy.org/view/s201h1ddYf [11:17] I was resticted to 350 words [11:18] bbl go to go get kids. [12:07] looks good magespawn [12:16] hey Kilos ty [12:20] Nice magespawn [12:22] i would like to write more but the limit is 350 words for now [12:22] ty mazal [12:30] Ja there is so much to say about open source hey [12:33] Bye everyone , have a good evening [12:34] God bless [12:34] you too mazal [12:34] ty [12:56] interwebs not so stable again [14:16] ah interesting, i got 500mb of free internet from voda http://gratisblox.nl/ [14:16] they seem to be desperate to try and sell people internet [14:40] crap [14:40] haha I ended up with a rather nice problem [14:41] IDCG published an article of mine recently [14:41] it generated 1300 business queries to myself [14:41] Im a one man company and have no concept of who I would hire to help with this shit [14:41] haha [14:41] response was slightly greater than anticipated [14:42] lol [14:48] heh for anyone interested in the african internet [14:48] http://idc-g.com/downloads/IDC-G_Newsletter04_Fall:Winter2012.pdf [14:48] the article I wrote is the one about the African cause [15:00] magespawn: Free and open-source software (FOSS) or free/libre/open-source software (FLOSS) [15:01] not F.O.S.S [15:04] * superfly just calls it "open source" because he leans toward being pragmatic [15:05] I can agree with that, it's short and sweet, sadly often abused [15:06] or misused [15:07] inetpro so just remove the full stops? [15:08] inetpro: when talking to plebians, it is easier to talk about "open source" as it is often unheard of. "free software" just means gratis software to most people [15:08] yep [15:08] magespawn: those dots are just not right, but superfly is also right [15:09] I should be doing more articles along the same sort of lines, so the concepts will be more deeply explored and explained [15:09] hopefully i will also be able to get more words [15:09] magespawn: for interest sake, where will it be published? [15:10] just a local community newspaper called The District Network [15:10] nice [15:11] magespawn: did you put down your contact details for support? [15:12] not on the article no, but i am running an ad at the same time for the shop [15:12] benefits of a small community [15:12] ah, OK [15:14] they only got telephones 6 months ago guys [15:15] Ohi Ludo [15:16] lol [15:17] seriously they still had a manual exchange like 15 years ago [15:17] hehe [15:18] magespawn, [15:18] rescued: 0 B, errsize: 10737 MB, current rate: 0 B/s [15:18] ipos: 33818 MB, errors: 1, average rate: 0 B/s [15:18] opos: 33818 MB, time from last successful read: 10.6 h [15:19] after every command it shows only 1 error [15:19] am i reading it right [15:26] magespawn: still looking for an editor for your article? [15:33] okay superfly [15:34] Kilos but does not look like it has recovered anything [15:34] I'll check it out later this evening - on the train right now [15:34] oh my goodness after all them hours [15:35] cool i need to send if off today sometime before 12 ahould be okay [15:35] maybe that one error is the I/O error [15:36] OK. [15:45] Kilos not sure what ipos and opos stand for but it looks like the errsize is 10737 mb [15:46] what program was this Kilos?

[15:53] yes Symmetria ? [15:53] 13950 quagga 20 0 376m 286m 2336 S 1,0 3,6 20:37.20 bgpd [15:53] <3 [15:53] I fixed it [15:53] good man [15:54] heh 376meg is better than 3gig [15:54] :p [15:54] very much so [15:55] Kilos did it make the logfile/ [15:55] ? [15:55] i memory leaked to about 24GB on a 16GB machine last week [15:55] yes magespawn [15:55] but dont ask me where [15:55] and its still running [15:55] ah well let it run if you can [15:55] yeah i am [15:56] then lets see if we can locate the logfile is and when it finishes [15:56] 11.2 hours so far [15:56] heh Kerbero I had a problem where I wasnt freeing up memory from DB queries [15:56] lol must i leave out the next 3 commands [15:56] so every 4 or 5 hours I was leaking 3 or 4 gigs of ram [15:56] Symmetria, leaking how and where to? [15:57] Kilos I'd forgotten to PQclear() after getting result sets outta postgres [15:57] do you have to run those commands immediatly or are they to run on the logfile [15:57] so query result, finish with it, and then overwrite it wihtout clearing up [15:57] i think they remain there so next time dd will go on from there mage [15:58] but its done a little over 2.2 million DB queries since I started it this run [15:58] and still sitting happy at < 400meg of ram [15:58] so Im happy [15:58] great fix the whole internet now [15:58] works out at under 200meg of ram per global routing feed [15:59] did you rhetorically remember to update that ubuntu thing?
