[04:50] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[06:24] <nameuser_> Hello
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> nameuser_: hi
[06:32] <nameuser_> I'm going to buy a Samsung SSD 850 Evo 120G. Does it work well with Ubuntu?
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> yes
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> very well
[08:11]  * ObrienDave waves from Englewood, Colorado, USA
[21:06] <EriC^^> anybody good with lvm?
[21:07] <daftykins> newp ;x
[21:07]  * daftykins always avoids it
[21:07] <lordievader> EriC^^: What's up?
[21:07]  * lordievader loves lvm
[21:07] <EriC^^> great :D
[21:07] <daftykins> heh, imo if you don't get your partitions right the first time you didn't plan well 8D
[21:07] <lordievader> Whcih reminds me, I need to checkout lvmetad on Ubuntu.
[21:08] <lordievader> daftykins: I don't have to plan for the future.
[21:08] <EriC^^> if you're using a live cd to mount an ubuntu using lvm
[21:08] <EriC^^> you just install lvm2, then vgchange -ay ?
[21:08] <lordievader> EriC^^: Yes, or lvchange -ay if you just need one lv.
[21:08] <daftykins> :)
[21:08] <EriC^^> ok, and then you run lvscan to get the list of partitions?
[21:09] <lordievader> For that you don't need to activate them.
[21:10] <EriC^^> i want to mount them
[21:10] <lordievader> Then you do need to activate them ;)
[21:10] <EriC^^> oh ok
[21:11] <EriC^^> cool, thanks man
[21:16] <lordievader> Hmm, lvmetad doesn't seem to be available on Ubuntu.
[21:24] <tgm4883> daftykins: why not have OS on raid 10?
[21:25] <daftykins> once you have the OS on there you'll find maintenance and drama far worse
[21:26] <daftykins> far easier to keep an OS beside and simply have the main body of storage as a mount point imo
[21:26] <daftykins> you'll see folk come in time and time again that've upgraded and killed their RAID setups
[21:27] <tgm4883> 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] <tgm4883> eg. fakeraid
[21:28] <daftykins> well this user isn't telling us what the RAID setup is, but yeah mdadm setups and what not
[21:28] <tgm4883> or softraid
[21:28] <tgm4883> ah ok
[21:28]  * daftykins pats his hardware RAID
[21:29] <tgm4883> yea I don't generally deal with that sort of thing. When I dealt with hardware, it was physical raid cards
[21:29] <daftykins> 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] <tgm4883> and not that onboard raid crap :)
[21:29] <daftykins> well most Linux folk don't use any of it
[21:29] <daftykins> they just let Linux handle it in software
[21:29] <daftykins> i use intel's rapid storage tech for windows customers though
[21:30] <daftykins> keep their personal data on a RAID 1
[21:30] <tgm4883> daftykins: surely you mean linux consumers
[21:30] <tgm4883> or people using something like ZFS
[21:31] <daftykins> no because i don't put in Linux for anyone
[21:31] <daftykins> and it's a firmware RAID so i don't think it plays too well with Linux :D
[22:00] <EriC^^> how do you solve these lts-vivid stuff?
[22:01] <EriC^^> nouveau wants xserver-xorg-core and installing that removes the lts-vivid ones --> blank screen on reboot
[22:01] <EriC^^> O.o
[22:01] <EriC^^> should he use the old kernel that isn't lts-vivid to fix this?
[22:05] <daftykins> that'd need to be paired up with the older xorg components
[22:05] <daftykins> bbs
[22:56] <EriC^^> we installed the old xorg stuff, still not working *shrug*
[23:02] <daftykins> :(
[23:02] <daftykins> did you track down removing the entire HWE?
[23:02] <daftykins> +stack
[23:02] <daftykins> what was even the original issue? nvidia drivers not working?
[23:03] <EriC^^> yeah
[23:04] <EriC^^> yeah i think it removed it all http://termbin.com/frra
[23:05] <EriC^^> apt-get install xserver-xorg-core made all that happen ^
[23:07] <daftykins> hmm, and what resulted after that? working nouveau boot?
[23:07] <EriC^^> nope, blank screen
[23:08] <daftykins> hrmm, you had an lspci listing at any point?
[23:08] <EriC^^> nope
[23:08] <daftykins> could be handy
[23:09] <EriC^^> yeah
