| * Laney goes faint and gets the smelling salts out | 13:05 | |
| Laney | think of the children | 13:05 |

| zmoylan-pi | you'll just have to keep cheerful with chocolate and stroopwafel | 13:11 |
| Laney | oh there will be waffle | 13:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | but warm gooey stroopwafel over tea or coffee.... | 13:12 |
| czajkowski | much waffles | 13:30 |
| czajkowski | and frites | 13:30 |
| Laney | mayoooooooooooo | 13:33 |
| Laney | I always get super messy from the food cart food | 13:34 |
| Laney | face / hands covered in chocolate sauce | 13:34 |
| Laney | oh fosdem | 13:34 |
| diplo | I've not been to Brussels in years, but I do miss the waffles! | 14:49 |
| Safiyyah | hi all, I have an initramfs error, it says /dev/sda2 UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY | 19:44 |
| Safiyyah | fsck exited with status code 4 | 19:45 |
| Safiyyah | it's the black screen of death! | 19:45 |
| daftykins | ruh roh | 19:47 |
| daftykins | hubby's gonna get it! | 19:47 |
| daftykins | what are you booted into right now? | 19:47 |
| Safiyyah | lol i am on the laptop | 19:55 |
| daftykins | but on the failed machine, is it still sat at a shell? | 19:55 |
| Safiyyah | yes | 19:55 |
| daftykins | probably best to boot a live session from a USB flash drive if you have one handy | 19:57 |
| Safiyyah | okay, i am doing that | 20:00 |
| daftykins | i'm gonna assume sdb is a mechanical drive and sda the SSD | 20:04 |
| Safiyyah | all loaded, fired up a terminal | 20:05 |
| daftykins | is it online? | 20:05 |
| Safiyyah | yes | 20:05 |
| Safiyyah | internet working | 20:05 |
| daftykins | sudo apt update && sudo apt install smartmontools pastebinit | 20:05 |
| daftykins | sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb | pastebinit | 20:05 |
| ubuntu-mate | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26373796/ | 20:11 |
| Safiyyah | daftykins that's my desktop | 20:11 |
| daftykins | hrmm does it only have the SSD - and so sdb is an external disk? | 20:11 |
| daftykins | sudo parted -l | pastebinit | 20:12 |
| Safiyyah | yes | 20:12 |
| Safiyyah | only have a SSD | 20:12 |
| daftykins | oh i'm an idiot, i misread your first line | 20:13 |
| daftykins | sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit | 20:13 |
| === kk_ is now known as kkk | ||
| === kkk is now known as kkous | ||
| ubuntu-mate | Failed to contact the server: [Errno socket error] The read operation timed out | 20:16 |
| Safiyyah | that's what I got | 20:16 |
| daftykins | hmm seems like it lost the connection already | 20:16 |
| === ubuntu-mate is now known as safiyyah-desktop | ||
| daftykins | give it another go | 20:16 |
| safiyyah-desktop | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26373820/ | 20:17 |
| daftykins | or... "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999" | 20:17 |
| daftykins | 320 unexpected power loss count xD that's a lot | 20:18 |
| safiyyah-desktop | http://termbin.com/bj61 | 20:18 |
| daftykins | 4 reallocated sectors, nasty | 20:18 |
| daftykins | sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2 | 20:19 |
| safiyyah-desktop | all the things which say fix? had yes as an answer | 20:20 |
| safiyyah-desktop | time to reboot? | 20:21 |
| daftykins | depends what the output said toward the end, did it say it repaired things successfully? | 20:21 |
| safiyyah-desktop | it said | 20:22 |
| safiyyah-desktop | file system modified | 20:22 |
| daftykins | heh, well that's worth a try then - sure, give a normal boot a try | 20:23 |
| daftykins | are you folks still repeatedly hard powering it off when it won't shutdown normally? | 20:23 |
| safiyyah-desktop | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26373846/ | 20:23 |
| safiyyah-desktop | no they stopped hard powering, it is crushing when watching streaming video | 20:23 |
| daftykins | crashing? oh dear | 20:24 |
| safiyyah-desktop | yes mid vid... just freezes | 20:24 |
| safiyyah-desktop | did you check pastebin? | 20:24 |
| safiyyah-desktop | is it time to reboot? | 20:24 |
| daftykins | yeah | 20:24 |
| daftykins | not a very healthy looking situation, but give it a reboot and see what it does | 20:25 |
| Safiyyah | it has rebooted normally | 20:26 |
| Safiyyah | what needs to be done to help revive the thing? | 20:27 |
| daftykins | got no idea what's causing the issues | 20:28 |
| Safiyyah | it also refused to update... i forgot to mention that the update says it has a serious problem | 20:28 |
| daftykins | i think that SSD is a bit unhappy and could probably do with some time spent trying to provoke it, too | 20:28 |
| daftykins | ah, messy | 20:28 |
| Safiyyah | lol | 20:29 |
| Safiyyah | shall I just leave it? | 20:29 |
| Safiyyah | at least we are back on | 20:30 |
| daftykins | for now, but it sounds like it needs some real attention at some point | 20:30 |
| daftykins | you might want to back up any data it might have on it | 20:30 |
| Safiyyah | you know the processor is really really old | 20:31 |
| daftykins | i forget which | 20:32 |
| daftykins | grep -i model /proc/cpuinfo | 20:32 |
| Safiyyah | shall I run the lspci? | 20:32 |
| daftykins | that won't show the CPU | 20:32 |
| safiyyah_ | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26373899/ | 20:35 |
| Safiyyah | i am pretty sure it is about 10 years old | 20:35 |
| Safiyyah | we have updated the motherboard and SSD over the years but that is an ancient piece | 20:35 |
| Safiyyah | i will agree it is a museum piece (like you said last time) | 20:36 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:36 |
| daftykins | yep time to retire that one | 20:36 |
| daftykins | i give away better than that these days | 20:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | and with zero chance of a bug fix from intel at that age... | 20:37 |
| Safiyyah | lol | 20:37 |
| Safiyyah | okay so will buy a new processor sometime within the next month and put it in | 20:37 |
| daftykins | no no | 20:37 |
| daftykins | dump the whole box | 20:38 |
| Safiyyah | seriously???? | 20:38 |
| daftykins | anything that'll go in the same motherboard will be equally a waste of time | 20:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | ^this | 20:38 |
| daftykins | you can get something so many generations newer for <£300 | 20:38 |
| Safiyyah | okidok | 20:38 |
| daftykins | www.dell.co.uk/outlet | 20:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | a rasp pi3 might run rings around it... :-) | 20:38 |
| Safiyyah | this was a self build | 20:38 |
| daftykins | browse there regularly and you'll find a bargain machine for cheap | 20:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | argos have a new catalog out so will be shoving a few bits out cheap too... worth a look | 20:39 |
| Safiyyah | zmoylan-pi, what is a rasp pi3? | 20:39 |
| Safiyyah | what about another self build? don't hang your heads!!! | 20:40 |
| daftykins | waste of time | 20:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | a small sbc (single board computer) https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/ | 20:40 |
| daftykins | lift the curse of your desktop by starting anew :D | 20:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | buy a whole new curse instead... :-) | 20:41 |
| daftykins | you could keep the SSD buuuuut it's got some problems that might not be fixable | 20:41 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: a faster curse ;) | 20:41 |
| Safiyyah | there was a little system in currys the little compact desktops for £180 | 20:41 |
| daftykins | small is typically bad | 20:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | small is slow... usually | 20:42 |
| Safiyyah | okay we will start having a look around | 20:42 |
| Safiyyah | and list the curse! | 20:43 |
| Safiyyah | okay got to feed this baby | 20:44 |
| Safiyyah | thank you so much | 20:44 |
| Safiyyah | goodnight! | 20:44 |
| daftykins | o/ | 20:44 |
| diddledan | boo | 23:18 |
| * m0nkey_ poops his pants | 23:30 | |
| * diddledan been currying with popey | 23:30 | |
| diddledan | apparently he really is a real boy | 23:31 |
| diddledan | no strings or anything! | 23:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | might be a glove puppet... | 23:33 |
