| plastikman | build another machine, then restore the backup | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| plastikman | or deploy a VM on your current machine and test it there | 00:00 |
| A|ien- | Ah! that's great because I don't have any spare machine to test it on | 00:01 |
| A|ien- | another quick question, which type of drive is better to use as a backup source? for longevity and reliability? | 00:12 |
| Eickmeyer | A|ien-: That's a great question. There are "backup drives" out there that are made specifically for it, but the're just slow spinning hard drives. Newer solid state and NVMe drives are pretty good too, but too much reading/writing/heat buildup can degrade them. | 00:14 |
| Eickmeyer | A|ien-: You can get refurbished HDDs that have been pulled from datacenters. The only catch is that they're known to be noisy, but they have probably a decade of life left in them. | 00:15 |
| Eickmeyer | A|ien-: Most are available on Amazon. Usually with high storage capacity for cheap. | 00:15 |
| A|ien- | Brilliant! | 00:15 |
| A|ien- | does it need to be 5400 or 7200 RPM? | 00:16 |
| Eickmeyer | For backup, it doesn't matter, but you'll find they're usually on the slower end since you're not typically using them for data access consistently. | 00:16 |
| A|ien- | Got it, and are there any good practice to observe whilst storing them safely? | 00:17 |
| Eickmeyer | Keep 'em dry, and preferably in a good case. | 00:17 |
| Eickmeyer | Heat = bad. | 00:17 |
| A|ien- | anti-static bag? | 00:17 |
| Eickmeyer | If they're in a good external case, anti-static doesn't matter, but if you're extra precautious it couldn't hurt. | 00:18 |
| A|ien- | Sweet! and do we have to fire them up every now and again or it doesn't matter? | 00:19 |
| Eickmeyer | Probably doesn't matter if the hard drive is robust enough. | 00:19 |
| A|ien- | one last question, any recommended brands? | 00:20 |
| Eickmeyer | Hitachi, but the name they use for their datacenter brands escapes me at the moment. | 00:20 |
| Eickmeyer | I want to say HBX but let me confirm. | 00:21 |
| A|ien- | much appreciated! | 00:21 |
| Eickmeyer | A|ien-: Western Digital (WD) is excellent, too. | 00:22 |
| Eickmeyer | A|ien-: HGST is the one I was looking for. | 00:23 |
| A|ien- | Thank you! | 00:23 |
| Eickmeyer | A|ien-: YW | 00:23 |
| A|ien- | Backup says - Creating your first backup -- this might take a while | 00:25 |
| A|ien- | does this mean I can make incremental backups after this? | 00:25 |
| Eickmeyer | A|ien-: Yes. | 00:31 |
| A|ien- | that's Amazing! | 00:31 |
| Eickmeyer | :D | 00:31 |
| A|ien- | do you reckon I should upgrade to the latest Ubuntu? or it doesn't make much difference? | 00:34 |
| imdumb | Hello world | 00:56 |
| mek10 | Hey all. I am having a hard drive issue... when I boot up my machine, it goes into grub rescue mode and says "unknown filesystem". I tried to `ls` each of the top level drives (hd0, hd1, hd2) and no matter which I do, they all say "unknown filesystem". | 01:05 |
| mek10 | is my harddrive just dead? | 01:05 |
| guiverc | mek10, I'd boot a live system and explore your drive health (SMART)... Contrast current state with prior state (assuming you watch your drive health), and if it looks okay, then I'd likely explore if file-system checks will help | 01:20 |
| Elladan | Hi, I need to revert a package in the ubuntu graphics-drivers PPA back to the one in the core repos. | 02:32 |
| Elladan | However, when I do this, it either A) tells me it wants to uninstall more or less my entire desktop environment or B) just does nothing. | 02:33 |
| jack | we now know you are breaking peoples shit - i have screenshots as well as logs.... ubuntu as long as i survive is done -- you should be a shamed.. you started well -- now -- you are satanists shit.. FUCK YOY -- yes i screen shotted it. | 02:34 |
| jack | scumbags | 02:34 |
| Elladan | I tried removing the PPA source and then ordering a reinstall, and it seems to have downloaded the replacement .deb but it's still acting like the wrong one is installed. | 02:35 |
| jack | thats right - shoot my system under cover | 02:35 |
| jack | scumbags cock suckers | 02:35 |
| jack | i loaded 5 systems with your shit | 02:35 |

| kucklehead | Oh okay here then: http://ix.io/4F4A cause I have no idea how to ask what is going on inside my journal log | 03:58 |
| matsaman | kucklehead: what is it you're having trouble accomplishing | 04:02 |
| kucklehead | matsaman, zfs on root on 22.04. I have these datasets: http://ix.io/4F4D I installed zfsutils-linux and zfs-dkms. I'm trying to get my gdm3 to pop up and not have a black screen | 04:07 |
| kucklehead | It's hard to figure out what the issue is. I don't know if it is being picky with the /home dataset which is causing the Desktop,Download,Video, etc folders not show up. Or do I have to mask a couple services and just use zfs-import-cache and zfs.target. Ive gotten zfs to work on Archlinux and I got it to somewhat work on ubuntu but I have to disable gdm3 and log into the shell | 04:11 |
| kucklehead | Or can it be the uneeded packages. Here are the packages by the way: http://ix.io/4F4G I copied the system that was installed on another ssd onto another one and just wrapped it up with zfs | 04:14 |
| kucklehead | I am wantinng gnome and not xorg | 04:31 |
