| Xethron | Actually I think a nap sounds great. I'm going to go do the same | 10:05 |
| Xethron | btw, I just posted an article on your first successful open source project on https://24daysindecember.net - would love some feedback if anyone is interested in reading it :) | 10:08 |
| Langjan | Hello guys, are you reconciled? | 10:48 |
| paddatrapper | Anyone know why dd'ing a debian iso to disk changes it physical block size to 2048MB and partitions it into a 10MB partition and a 15.9 (the rest) partition? I'm unable to boot from it or format it | 13:38 |
| paddatrapper | Happended to two disks | 13:38 |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper that's the way it's set in the mbr of the iso | 14:39 |
| theblazehen | You can cfdisk /dev/sdb or whichever to fix it | 14:39 |
| theblazehen | If you can't change the block size there then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 | 14:39 |
| theblazehen | Can you boot other ISOs that you dd on? | 14:40 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: thanks. Don't know why th newest iso has changed things... | 14:40 |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper sure. Also, if that doesn't work, try the netboot.xyz usb image. I quite like it | 14:40 |
| paddatrapper | I haven't tried others. I'm trying a straight cp, as that seems to be the primary way suggested by the debian wiki | 14:41 |
| theblazehen | Should result in the same result, but give it a go anyway perhaps | 14:42 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: Tried dd again. Seems to give me no issues, though booting it returns isolinux.bin missing or corrupt | 15:23 |
| paddatrapper | Happens with the amd64 and i386 net installers | 15:23 |
| theblazehen | Ah, yes | 15:31 |
| theblazehen | I had that before | 15:31 |
| theblazehen | Same with syslinux | 15:31 |
| theblazehen | IIRC some issue when using 64 bit inodes | 15:32 |
| theblazehen | Tried netboot.xyz? | 15:32 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: Could not locate active partition when booting from netboot.xyz | 15:36 |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper and you flashed the usb image right? | 15:36 |
| paddatrapper | tried both ways suggested here https://netboot.xyz/boot-usb/index.html | 15:37 |
| theblazehen | Are you IRCing from the same computer you're doing this on? | 15:37 |
| * paddatrapper has been trying since 10am this morning to get this USB to boot | 15:37 | |
| theblazehen | Easy to do it from grub. Just copy the kernel to the right place in /boot | 15:38 |
| Kilos | use disk utility to format it to mbr first then put other stuff on | 15:38 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: Sort of. IRC is running on VPS. I'm trying to boot from the usb on a server sitting next to me. This is my laptop | 15:38 |
| paddatrapper | I do have grub rescue prompt up | 15:38 |
| Kilos | gnome disk utility | 15:39 |
| theblazehen | Alright. | 15:39 |
| theblazehen | Makes things easier | 15:39 |
| Kilos | can you mount it | 15:39 |
| theblazehen | create a filesystem on the usb, maybe fat32 or ext4 or anything. Copy https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.lkrn into it | 15:40 |
| Kilos | mount and install grub-pc and gub-pc-bin | 15:40 |
| paddatrapper | Kilos: Yes, Linux can read/write it too. I am now able to format it (finally) | 15:40 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: thanks will do | 15:40 |
| theblazehen | Maybe do that from laptop | 15:40 |
| theblazehen | then at grub rescue do a ls | 15:40 |
| Kilos | i found the gnome disk utility quite handy it can even repair drives | 15:41 |
| Kilos | good luck i go nap | 15:41 |
| paddatrapper | Kilos: Thanks. Have another drive that that may help with | 15:42 |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper is grub rescue from the hdd? | 15:43 |
| theblazehen | You just need grub rescue and some filesystem with the file on it | 15:43 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: I think so. They're used drives that I haven't formatted yet | 15:43 |
| theblazehen | Alright | 15:44 |
| paddatrapper | Busy booting at the moment | 15:44 |
| theblazehen | Booting from hdd? | 15:44 |
| paddatrapper | have grub rescue | 15:44 |
| theblazehen | Cool | 15:44 |
| paddatrapper | ls returns: | 15:44 |
| theblazehen | And a disk with file on? | 15:44 |
| paddatrapper | plugged in a detected (at least in BIOS) | 15:45 |
| theblazehen | Cool | 15:45 |
| theblazehen | Nothing in ls? | 15:45 |
| paddatrapper | (hd0) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1) (hd2) (hd3) (md/0) | 15:45 |
| theblazehen | Try ls (hd2)/ | 15:46 |
| theblazehen | And ls (hd3)/ | 15:46 |
| theblazehen | One should show the file | 15:46 |
| paddatrapper | hd2: unknown filesystem | 15:46 |
| paddatrapper | hd3: unknown filesystem | 15:46 |
| theblazehen | Alright and ls (hd1,msdos1)/ | 15:46 |
| theblazehen | If not ls (hd1,1)/ | 15:47 |
| paddatrapper | both unknown file systems | 15:47 |
| theblazehen | Ah. hd0 must be your usb | 15:48 |
| theblazehen | ls (hd0,msdos1) and msdos2 | 15:48 |
| paddatrapper | ls (hd0,msdos2)/ - unknown filesystem | 15:48 |
| paddatrapper | hd0,msdos1 not found | 15:49 |
| paddatrapper | hd0 - unknown filesystem | 15:49 |
| theblazehen | What's your usb formatted as? | 15:49 |
| paddatrapper | fat32 | 15:49 |
| theblazehen | insmod fat | 15:50 |
| paddatrapper | error disk mduuid/<hex> not found | 15:51 |
| paddatrapper | where <hex> is a long string of hexadecimal numbers | 15:51 |
| theblazehen | Alright | 15:51 |
| paddatrapper | all drives still are unknown file systems | 15:53 |
| theblazehen | Remove the usb, run ls. Which drive disappears? | 15:53 |
| paddatrapper | hd1, hd2, hd3 | 15:54 |
| theblazehen | So hd0 is gone? | 15:54 |
| paddatrapper | no, hd0 is the only one left | 15:54 |
| theblazehen | Ah | 15:54 |
| theblazehen | Plug usb into laptop, wipefs -a /dev/whatever | 15:55 |
| theblazehen | Then cfdisk /dev/whatever, create partition, set as bootable, mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 or whichever, and copy the file in | 15:55 |
| paddatrapper | How do I set as bootable? | 15:58 |
| theblazehen | In cfdisk it should have an option for it? | 15:58 |
| paddatrapper | I don't see one. Only type | 15:58 |
| theblazehen | Does it say gpt anywhere at the top? | 15:59 |
| theblazehen | Eg Label: gpt or something? | 15:59 |
| paddatrapper | Yes | 15:59 |
| theblazehen | Ah | 15:59 |
| theblazehen | wipefs -a /dev/sdb again, then cfdisk and create mbr / msdos | 16:00 |
| paddatrapper | Cool | 16:00 |
| theblazehen | Then mkfs the partition and copy the file in | 16:00 |
| theblazehen | Should show then | 16:00 |
| paddatrapper | Yup, thanks | 16:00 |
| theblazehen | Once it's in, plug in to server, ls again | 16:01 |
| theblazehen | should show a (hd1,msdos1) ? | 16:01 |
| paddatrapper | yes, along with (hd2) and (hd3) still | 16:03 |
| paddatrapper | But I am seeing the netboot.xyz file | 16:03 |
| theblazehen | Great | 16:03 |
| theblazehen | Now | 16:03 |
| theblazehen | linux (hd1,msdos1)/netboot.xyz.lkrn | 16:03 |
| theblazehen | and | 16:03 |
| theblazehen | boot | 16:03 |
| paddatrapper | unknown command linux | 16:04 |
| theblazehen | linux16 maybe? | 16:04 |
| paddatrapper | unknown command | 16:05 |
| theblazehen | ls (md/0)/ | 16:05 |
| paddatrapper | disk not found | 16:05 |
| theblazehen | Ok. Maybe insmod linux | 16:05 |
| paddatrapper | error disk <> not found | 16:06 |
| paddatrapper | unknown command linux | 16:06 |
| paddatrapper | unknown command linux16 | 16:07 |
| theblazehen | Ok. Copy http://linx.home.theblazehen.com/linux.mod to your usb | 16:07 |
| theblazehen | Then | 16:07 |
| theblazehen | set root=(hd1,msdos1)/ | 16:07 |
| theblazehen | insmod linux | 16:07 |
| theblazehen | linux (hd1,msdos1)/netboot.xyz.lkrn | 16:08 |
| theblazehen | boot | 16:08 |
| paddatrapper | unknown command linux | 16:09 |
| theblazehen | And the insmod worked? | 16:10 |
| paddatrapper | error: disk <> not found | 16:10 |
| theblazehen | Ah, sorry. set boot not root | 16:10 |
| paddatrapper | same error | 16:11 |
| theblazehen | set prefix=(hd1,msdos1)/ | 16:12 |
| theblazehen | then insmod? | 16:12 |
| paddatrapper | file //i386-pc/linux.mod not found | 16:13 |
| paddatrapper | Should I move it into a directory i386-pc? | 16:14 |
| theblazehen | You can try that | 16:14 |
| theblazehen | Or insmod (hd1,msdos1)/linux.mod might possibly work | 16:14 |
| theblazehen | Yeah, looks like insmod with a direct path should work | 16:15 |
| paddatrapper | error attempt to read or write outside of disk hd1 | 16:16 |
| theblazehen | Just to be sure, this is grub resuce not grub shell, right? | 16:18 |
| theblazehen | Does the server support virtual disks with it's management module maybe? | 16:18 |
| paddatrapper | grub rescue | 16:18 |
| paddatrapper | I don't think so - sun V60X with stock controller | 16:19 |
| paddatrapper | Haven't seen any options for virtual disks when I was messing around indisk management | 16:19 |
| theblazehen | let me get full grub modue set. linux.mod may have had dependency | 16:20 |
| paddatrapper | Ok | 16:20 |
| theblazehen | http://linx.home.theblazehen.com/i386-pc.tar | 16:20 |
| theblazehen | Extract that to usb | 16:21 |
| paddatrapper | same error | 16:25 |
| theblazehen | try set root=(hd1,msdos1) | 16:25 |
| theblazehen | set prefix=/i386-pc/ | 16:25 |
| paddatrapper | same error | 16:26 |
| theblazehen | Do you have a rooted android phone? | 16:26 |
| paddatrapper | Yes | 16:26 |
| theblazehen | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid&hl=en | 16:26 |
| theblazehen | Try iso as a cd drive | 16:27 |
| theblazehen | What kind of disk is in the server? SAS? | 16:32 |
| paddatrapper | SCSI | 16:32 |
| paddatrapper | isolinux.bin missing or corrupt on iso as cd drive | 16:33 |
| theblazehen | Try netboot.xyz iso? | 16:33 |
| paddatrapper | That was the iso... | 16:34 |
| theblazehen | Hmm. How about netboot.xyz usb in usb mode? | 16:35 |
| theblazehen | usb booting is a bitch on some servers... | 16:35 |
| paddatrapper | Yeah... Can proabably remove a drive, put the one I want to install to in there and a DVD drive in the flexi-bay | 16:36 |
| paddatrapper | Install from DVD | 16:36 |
| paddatrapper | I have 2 servers to provision, so may be prudent | 16:37 |
| theblazehen | Ah. You got a dvd.. That makes things easier | 16:37 |
| theblazehen | If you go netboot.xyz on the dvd then you can remove it and start install on the other server at the same time | 16:38 |
| theblazehen | Or can you pxe boot? | 16:38 |
| * paddatrapper goes to find a CD | 16:39 | |
| paddatrapper | I don't have a PXE server yet (this was supposed to be it ironically) | 16:39 |
| theblazehen | Haha, yeah. /me broke server, wanted to pxe boot, and that was it :( | 16:39 |
| theblazehen | Luckily it could do virtual drives | 16:40 |
| theblazehen | Time to brag: http://www.junkmail.co.za/computers/desktop-pcs/gauteng/pretoria/pretoria-city/ibm-x3650-m4-servers/64739274 :D | 16:40 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: Very nice!! | 16:42 |
| paddatrapper | Seems all the good deals are always in Joburg.. | 16:43 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: Guess what... Failure reading sector from fd0 when trying to boot from CD... | 16:50 |
| Kilos | set bios | 16:51 |
| paddatrapper | Think I'm going to have to set up a PXE server on another machine temporarily and boot from that | 16:51 |
| Kilos | bios thinks there is a floppy | 16:51 |
| paddatrapper | Will do | 16:52 |
| Kilos | connect a monitor and set bios to boot from cd/dvd | 16:53 |
| paddatrapper | Kilos: That I have already done | 16:53 |
| paddatrapper | Boot priority is flash drive, CD, LAN, HDD | 16:54 |
| Kilos | and did you turn off the floppy seek thing as well | 16:54 |
| Kilos | aha | 16:54 |
| paddatrapper | Yup. Now no error, just back to grub rescue | 16:54 |
| Kilos | from the cd? | 16:55 |
| paddatrapper | No. HDD 1 | 16:56 |
| Kilos | can it boot from cd | 16:56 |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper That sucks. Yeah, go the pxe route. Otherwise write the usb image to a hdd and put then into the server... | 16:59 |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper got 2 dual port 10 gbit ethernet and 4x dual 2.5 gbit fiber channel cards as well :) | 16:59 |
| paddatrapper | theblazehen: I would do that, but I don't have any SCSI bays except for on the servers... | 16:59 |
| * paddatrapper is very jealous! | 16:59 | |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper Hmm. pxe it is then. | 17:00 |
| theblazehen | paddatrapper yeah, I <3 it :D | 17:00 |
| theblazehen | Been limited by the resources of the 2 desktops I used to use as servers | 17:00 |
| theblazehen | 32 GB + 20 GB RAM, with desktop running in a container on the second. Used thin client | 17:00 |
| theblazehen | Gonna be running yacy.net on there, going 2 pages deep in my browser history :) Super specific search for things seen recently | 17:01 |
| theblazehen | Then loading all reddit comments from 2007 until 2016 October into elasticsearch | 17:02 |
| paddatrapper | Haha awesome! | 17:02 |
| theblazehen | Haven't started it yet, but in the past few years 1 month is around 6 GB bzip2 compressed. Lots of data/documents.. | 17:02 |
| theblazehen | I was loading a stream of comments into elasticsearch, around 40 - 70 documents / second | 17:03 |
| theblazehen | Haven't started the bulk import that is | 17:03 |

| nsnzero | evening all | 17:34 |
| paddatrapper | hey nsnzero | 17:34 |

| pavlushka | hi there every one :) | 17:36 |
| paddatrapper | nsnzero: I'm better now thanks. You? | 17:37 |
| theblazehen | hi pavlushka | 17:39 |
| pavlushka | Hello theblazehen :) | 17:40 |
| nsnzero | paddatrapper: sorry to hear that , but glad you well again | 17:41 |
| nsnzero | hi there pavlushka | 17:42 |
| pavlushka | hey nsnzero :) | 17:42 |
| pavlushka | paddatrapper: heya | 17:42 |
| nsnzero | theblazehen: was it you that sent me the asciiemia of your zsh shell ? my memory is bad | 17:44 |
| paddatrapper | hey pavlushka | 17:45 |
| theblazehen | nsnzero yeah | 17:46 |
| nsnzero | theblazehen: its awesome - i copied most of it though - but i cant get the searchable history - its driving me nuts | 17:47 |
| theblazehen | nsnzero Did you also get auto-fu? | 17:48 |
| nsnzero | theblazehen: i didnt - i will check it out now | 17:50 |
| nsnzero | theblazehen: thanks | 17:50 |
| theblazehen | nsnzero that caused issues with older versions I think, /me is afk, will get back to you later | 17:58 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 18:00 |
| Kilos | see you tomorrow | 18:00 |
| nsnzero | hey kilo - take care - good night | 18:03 |
| nsnzero | theblazehen: yes it conflicts with the syntax highlighter - best time to trouble shoot is now | 18:09 |
