00:00 * mentor shudders
00:00 <****> so after booting into single-user, i reinstalled 8.40.4, and it brought me back to my dri-less state.
00:00 <****> i checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log
00:01 <****> smhar: It's not an error, just a warning -- theoretically, the module could fail to work (cause crashes, etc.) if GCC changed its ABI between the two versions
00:01 <****> smhar: but GCC's C ABI hasn't changed in a long time, afaik
00:01 <****> and in there, it shows a random switch from pci:1:5:0 to 1:5:1
00:01 <****> sam_home: probably uninstall the vlc one
00:01 <****> mentor: sacrilege!
00:01 <****> *
00:01 <****> smhar: I've been using VMware for years and never had any problems with differing GCC versions
00:01 <****> the xorg.conf is configured to use pci:1:5:0
00:01 <****> and that's correct
00:02 <****> except the driver randomly switches to pci:1:5:1 along the way
00:02 <****> and i can't tell where.
00:02 <****> Wyzard: I ignored the warning but he compiling stooped with an error complaining about the version of gcc
00:03 <****> so... any help?
00:03 <****> Wyzard: I had it in my old system without problems as well.
00:03 <****> themill: there you go http://pastebin.com/mcda4c73
00:03 <****> hi guys. i have a server that occassionally puts the root fs mount in read-only mode. I try to mount / -o remount,rw, but its not enabling writes again. obviously this is causing all kinds of problems (cant even force a remote reboot). any idea how to fix/diagnose this?
00:03 <****> smhar: you've have to ask #vmware how to override that behaviour if you want to try that.
00:04 <****> blk-majik: what does /proc/mounts say about /?
00:04 <****> smhar: hmm... I think it works differently if it's a nontrivial version difference, like 4.1.x vs. 4.2.x
00:04 <****> smhar: You might need to install gcc-4.1 and set CC=gcc-4.1 or something like that
00:04 <****> babbage: /dev/sda1 / ext3 ro,data=ordered 0 0
00:04 <****> ringo999_: ok, so the kill switch is on; turn it off then try ifconfig -a again.
00:05 <****> smhar: If that doesn't work, ask #vmware about how to get the script to use your gcc-4.1
00:05 <****> Guerin: Lies!
00:05 <****> blk-majik: Did you get an error message from mount ?
00:06 <****> babbage: mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
00:06 <****> hello
00:06 <****> how to install all libboost* libs?
00:06 <****> with aptitude
00:06 <****> blk-majik: what kind of device is /dev/sda1?
00:07 <****> babbage: its a scsi raid array using the megaraid drivers
00:07 <****> blk-majik: is /var/log on / ?
00:07 <****> babbage: yes =(
00:07 <****> themill: same result, the switch doesnt seem to work
00:07 <****> blk-majik: its write protected from layers below 'mount' - can be hardware driver or firmware
00:07 <****> Wyzard: ok I checked and it seems that I already have 4.1 installed along side 4.2 , how to make the CC=gcc-4.1 thing?
00:07 <****> what about the output of "dmesg - "?
00:08 <****> blah, no help
00:08 <****> babbage: i have a lot of 'sd 2:4:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device' before an ext3_abort
00:08 <****> then EXT3-fs error (device sda1): ext3_remount: Abort forced by user
00:08 <****> smhar: It's an environment variable... you'd run "CC=gcc-4.1 vmware-config.pl" to set the variable for the duration of just that one command
00:08 <****> sounds hardware to me
00:08 <****> but i replaced most of the storage-related hardware already
00:08 <****> i know the megaraid drivers have some 'issues'
00:11 <****> im using a Dell PERC 3/QC 4ch Ultra160 controller /w 128mb memory. I also get the errors when I try an HP Megaraid card of the same chipset. Tried different firmware versions on both cards
00:11 <****> ringo999_: are you sure you're toggling the kill switch? It doesn't sound like it.
00:11 <****> so again, I'm thinking driver. Debian is the only linux distro with an out-of-the-box kernel that lets me mount the array at all, actually
00:11 <****> Maybe I need to revert back to netbsd.... worked fine there
00:12 <****> themill: definitely. its a compaq nc6400 laptop, there is only one button i know to turn on/off wifi
00:12 <****> i could use some help with this particular debian install...something is funky with this hardware i think...i am getting this error when i try to boot the install cd: run-init: nuking initramfs contents. Directory not empty Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
00:12 <****> maybe run Xen under freebsd and use debian as a guest to abstract the HD ;)
00:12 <****> any idea what exactly causes this error and/or how to fix it?
00:12 <****> hmm
00:13 <****> so noone knows how to install foo* (foo-aaa foo-bbb and so on) with one command?
00:13 <****> something like apt-get install foo*
00:13 <****> ringo999_: check the entry on kill switch here: http://bb.cactii.net/archives/000174.php
00:14 <****> blk-majik: looks like the megaraid drivers think the array is read-only; perhaps one of the devices is sick.
00:14 <****> as in one of the drivers?
00:14 <****> rmaj: maybe apt-get install `apt-cache search foo`?
00:14 <****> *drives?
00:14 <****> blk-majik: I really don't know
00:14 <****> :P
00:14 <****> rmaj: you could use awk to pull first column of apt-cache search and then grep it and then.. etc
00:14 <****> er, rmaj, have you tried "apt-get install foo*", just like you said...?
00:14 <****> not sure how well that'd work... not that much of a scripter
00:15 <****> babbage: i just replaced a drive last week. have 2 spare new ones. i could just start reconstructing all of them i guess.... would fsck mark any bab sectors?
00:15 <****> how can i connect my 9300i nokia with my bluetooth, While i can scan it with #hcitool scan, I am new to linux, any gui application for feisty??
00:15 <****> apt-cache search bluetooth result is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/40007/
00:15 <****> sarthor: are you running debian?
00:16 <****> clearly not - sarthor, try #ubuntu
00:16 <****> sarthor: apt-cache search bluez
00:16 <****> themill: yes, so i have to reboot to see if it works.
00:16 <****> Wyzard: I tried "CC=gcc-4.1 vmware-config.pl" but execution aborted after sometime complaining about 'slight' different in C headers between the ones I am using and the ones used for the kernel compile. now what?
00:17 <****> markrian: I want to do it in aptitude, not in apt-get
00:17 <****> pike_: thanks... isnt there any easier way
00:17 <****> ringo999_: that is what is implied by that page; I don't have the hardware though, you need to experiment yourself!
00:17 <****> pike_, bluez sarch result is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/40010/
00:17 <****> Anyone know what a ping exit code would be if there is a packet loss percentage? I can find any info...
00:18 <****> sarthor: ill speak in #ubuntu /join me there
00:18 <****> smhar: What headers is it using for the build? Was "/usr/src/linux" the answer to one of the questions?
00:18 <****> themill, yes i know i am using ubuntu, and you can check that i am also there
00:18 <****> pike_, OK.
00:18 <****> blk-majik: Not by default; see the manual page. But the RAID array may well mask bad sectors anyway.
00:18 <****> themill: i will give it a try. got to go sleep now. thanks for all of yours help!
00:18 <****> gtg now anyway
00:18 <****> ringo999_: good luck!
00:19 <****> byebye
00:19 <****> smhar: or do you have the correct linux-headers package installed?
00:19 <****> sarthor: I know. Asking about "feisty" and being in #ubuntu were a bit of a give-away. We can't help you with ubuntu questions, but #ubuntu can. Good luck over there.
00:20 <****> sarthor: id install both bluez-gnome
00:20 <****> and kdebluetooth see which you like
00:20 <****> Wyzard: I am using kernel 2.6.21-2-686 and the header is the same
00:21 <****> smhar: You have linux-headers-2.6.21-2-686 installed and up-to-date?
00:21 <****> smhar: and you used /lib/modules/2.6.21-2-686/build (the default) as the directory for kernel headers, when asked by the script?
00:22 <****> Wyzard: I just did and update/upgrade and the install is using /lib/modules/2.6.21-2-686/build/include as the path for the c headers
