[04:50] good morning to all [06:24] Hello [06:31] nameuser_: hi [06:32] I'm going to buy a Samsung SSD 850 Evo 120G. Does it work well with Ubuntu? [06:32] yes [06:32] very well [08:11] * ObrienDave waves from Englewood, Colorado, USA === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy [21:06] anybody good with lvm? [21:07] newp ;x [21:07] * daftykins always avoids it [21:07] EriC^^: What's up? [21:07] * lordievader loves lvm [21:07] great :D [21:07] heh, imo if you don't get your partitions right the first time you didn't plan well 8D [21:07] Whcih reminds me, I need to checkout lvmetad on Ubuntu. [21:08] daftykins: I don't have to plan for the future. [21:08] if you're using a live cd to mount an ubuntu using lvm [21:08] you just install lvm2, then vgchange -ay ? [21:08] EriC^^: Yes, or lvchange -ay if you just need one lv. [21:08] :) [21:08] ok, and then you run lvscan to get the list of partitions? [21:09] For that you don't need to activate them. [21:10] i want to mount them [21:10] Then you do need to activate them ;) [21:10] oh ok [21:11] cool, thanks man [21:16] Hmm, lvmetad doesn't seem to be available on Ubuntu. [21:24] daftykins: why not have OS on raid 10? [21:25] once you have the OS on there you'll find maintenance and drama far worse [21:26] far easier to keep an OS beside and simply have the main body of storage as a mount point imo [21:26] you'll see folk come in time and time again that've upgraded and killed their RAID setups [21:27] daftykins: doesn't the RAID just look like a single drive though? or are you talking about a setup without a raid card? [21:28] eg. fakeraid [21:28] well this user isn't telling us what the RAID setup is, but yeah mdadm setups and what not [21:28] or softraid [21:28] ah ok [21:28] * daftykins pats his hardware RAID [21:29] yea I don't generally deal with that sort of thing. When I dealt with hardware, it was physical raid cards [21:29] just the other night a disk decided to go AWOL :) unplugged the SATA power, popped it back in - it was rebuilt within a few hours like nothing ever happened [21:29] and not that onboard raid crap :) [21:29] well most Linux folk don't use any of it [21:29] they just let Linux handle it in software [21:29] i use intel's rapid storage tech for windows customers though [21:30] keep their personal data on a RAID 1 [21:30] daftykins: surely you mean linux consumers [21:30] or people using something like ZFS [21:31] no because i don't put in Linux for anyone [21:31] and it's a firmware RAID so i don't think it plays too well with Linux :D === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [22:00] how do you solve these lts-vivid stuff? [22:01] nouveau wants xserver-xorg-core and installing that removes the lts-vivid ones --> blank screen on reboot [22:01] O.o [22:01] should he use the old kernel that isn't lts-vivid to fix this? [22:05] that'd need to be paired up with the older xorg components [22:05] bbs [22:56] we installed the old xorg stuff, still not working *shrug* [23:02] :( [23:02] did you track down removing the entire HWE? [23:02] +stack [23:02] what was even the original issue? nvidia drivers not working? [23:03] yeah [23:04] yeah i think it removed it all http://termbin.com/frra [23:05] apt-get install xserver-xorg-core made all that happen ^ [23:07] hmm, and what resulted after that? working nouveau boot? [23:07] nope, blank screen [23:08] hrmm, you had an lspci listing at any point? [23:08] nope [23:08] could be handy [23:09] yeah
