| ericlafo_ | Hi Folks, I found out what was happening, there is a neighbor monitoring working for ipv4 (router discovery). This causes my 2 other interface on which one didn't have a gateway and the other wasn't configured yet. So, in all 3 of my interfaces, only one had a working gateway and was usable. The kernel was aware of this and returned always the working gateway interface when looking at it with "ip route get x.x.x. | 01:53 |
|---|---|---|
| ericlafo_ | ise here was the dynamism with which the kernel was able to adapt. :) I will now return satisfied. | 01:53 |

| foo | I have an old netbook. 7+ years old. I want to install ubuntu server on it mainly to ssh in and transfer data to an external drive. It looks like 18.04.3 LTS is 64-bit only, not sure if that's best for this old netbook. Any other suggestions? | 22:51 |
| mybalzitch | if your cpu supports 64bit its fine | 22:52 |
| foo | mybalzitch: how would I know? I can get into safe mode shell on it with an older ubuntu distro now (not sure what's on here just yet) | 23:15 |
| mybalzitch | if you can get me the cpu name from cat /proc/cpuinfo I can look it up and tell you | 23:15 |
| mybalzitch | but you can probably use that older ubuntu distro just as well as anything else to copy files on/off | 23:16 |
| foo | mybalzitch: looks like this: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834152115 | 23:17 |
| foo | mybalzitch: intel atom inside | 23:17 |
| foo | hmm | 23:17 |
| foo | mybalzitch: yeah, hm. It seems to be hanging at "checking battery state" | 23:17 |
| mybalzitch | it's 32bit only, so that other OS won't boot | 23:18 |
| mybalzitch | can you ctrl+c the check? | 23:19 |
| mybalzitch | or wait it out I guess | 23:19 |
| foo | mybalzitch: thank you for the confirmation. ctrl+c doesn't seem to matter. I do have another dell inspiron here that is newer... I might just use this instead | 23:21 |
| mybalzitch | would you like me to check that for you as well? ark.intel.com is the site I'm using | 23:22 |
| foo | mybalzitch: thank you for asking, just turning it on now... this is 2019 I was told. Waiting for it to boot up to see what's on it. | 23:23 |
| mybalzitch | I'm not sure what hte battery state being checked entails, there should be a way to interrupt it you'd think, but maybe not | 23:23 |
| mybalzitch | oh, so much newer | 23:23 |
| foo | mybalzitch: ... yeah. It might also have usb 3 which would be nice. | 23:23 |
| foo | mybalzitch: and yes, I am surprised a battery check could prevent a system from booting up. There may be another power issue going on, I'm really not sure | 23:24 |
| mybalzitch | what happens if you press ctrl+alt+f1 or ctrl+alt+f2, do you get a login prompt? | 23:26 |
| foo | ubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-15-generic on the old netbook. The inspiron is still coming online (looks like it's installing windows updates). | 23:27 |
| foo | mybalzitch: oh, there is a login screen when I ctrl+alt+f1. Nice. Uh, err, I don't remember this user/pass. But nonetheless, at least I can get into it. Looks like ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS actually | 23:29 |
| mybalzitch | :) | 23:30 |
| foo | mybalzitch: thanks for "being there" - I've done quite a bit of tinkering with linux in my day but am a bit rusty. :) | 23:30 |
| mybalzitch | ah sometimes hand holding is nice for both parties | 23:31 |
| mybalzitch | :) | 23:31 |
| mybalzitch | if you are copying off a NTFS drive, a newer version of ubuntu will probably work best | 23:31 |
| mybalzitch | but if its fat32 or a linux filesystem, pretty much anything will do | 23:32 |
