02:55 < ojh> rxr: Hi.
02:56 < mnemoc> hi ojh
02:58 < ojh> I have a question about the build of lazyfs, I examined the build log and I don't see any actual ./configure or compile output as expected . . . :-/
02:58 < ojh> I also rebuilt the kernel - nothing new in the file system modules.
03:02 < mnemoc> if lazyfs is Xed linux26 will load it's postinstall.conf and build the module
03:03 < mnemoc> grep lazyfs /var/adm/log/9-linux26.log
03:03 < ojh> OK
03:08 < ojh> The Kernel build sops with an error when cloop is not found in the download folder - So I need to have everything the kernel will try to build already downloaded . . .
03:08 < ojh> ?
03:10 < mnemoc> you need what you have enabled
03:11 < mnemoc> recient versions of T2 download the automaticly
03:12 < mnemoc> using pkgsel you can disable linux extensions you don't want in your kernel
03:13 < ojh> Is there anything that marks packages as a Kernel extension so I can make sure that they are all downloaded?
03:14 < mnemoc> echo package/*/*/pkg_linux26_*.conf
03:14 < mnemoc> uhm... no
03:14 < mnemoc> you have beta4 right?
03:14 < ojh> Beta 3
03:14 < mnemoc> echo package/*/*/postlinux.conf
03:15 < mnemoc> the same... look for packages with postlinux.conf

10:40 < jeru> rxr: are you around ?
10:49 < rxr> re
10:49 < rxr> yes
10:51 < jeru> moin :)
10:52 < jeru> how can I change the nic order as you told me yesterday ?
10:53 < jeru> don't want to have ieee1394 as eth0
10:54 < jeru> another "problem" I discovered is, that gigabit nics are not auto detetected, even if the kernel modul is present
10:56 < rxr> oh
10:57 < rxr> that is strange
10:57 < rxr> I need to look up the manual page about the details - there was at least nameif which does rename according to /etc/mactab
10:57 < rxr> but it is also possible in other ways
11:02 < jeru> rxr: it seems that the ethh1394 module is "disturbing" at least the gigabit nic in my new test system :/
11:06 < valentin> moin
11:06 < jeru> moin valentin :)
11:07 < valentin> hi jeru
11:07 < jeru> I cannot even remove this damn eth1394 module
11:08 < rxr> yes - is is like a plague ...
11:08 < jeru> :)
11:09 < jeru> rxr: why don't we eleminate this "plaque" ?
11:10 < jeru> rxr: is there a section in the T2-Handbook for this nameif /etc/mactab issue ?
11:10 < rxr> no .-((
11:10 < rxr> well - I already used the eth1394 a few times - altough it is a bit buggy it can be a help from time to time
11:10 < rxr> I do not yet have an idea how to handle it ...
11:10 < valentin> we need to migrate the handbook into the cms one day ...
11:11 < rxr> hi valentin
11:11 < jeru> valentin: ack
11:11 < valentin> hi rxr
11:11 < rxr> Firefox v1.0.4 a
11:11 < jeru> valentin: can you write a small migration script from sgml to Rest ? ;)
11:12 < jeru> valentin: but I remember there I've seen sth. like this already
11:12 < valentin> jeru: the current handbook is in tex
11:12 < jeru> oh
11:12 < valentin> so most parts should be quite easy to convert with a small script
11:13 < jeru> btw, this page has some problems -> http://dl.exactcode.de/t2-handbook/html/t2-handbookse26.html
11:13 < valentin> yeah - saw that too
11:14 < valentin> but it had not been like that all time before
11:14 < valentin> i think lars made some changes recently
11:15 < rxr> I did not regenerate the HTML after lars changes
11:17 < valentin> maybe he fixed this, then ?
11:17 < rxr> he "only" optmized PDF creation
11:19 < valentin> hm
11:19 < valentin> ok
11:31 < jeru> I guess I've to run nameif from somewhere within rocknet to change the order of the eth devices
11:34 < jeru> I've placed "eth0 MA:CA:DD:RE:SS" in /etc/mactab so far
11:34 < jeru> how can I run nameif before ifup ?
11:42 < rxr> jeru: I need to rethink the name changes - there are some tweak nexessary in order to allow rocknet / rockplug to work smoothly together when the name changes inbetween
11:43 < rxr> I think run-up and run-script or so are run when the interface is up - not before
11:44 < jeru> rxr: ok ... can I use a workaround at least that it will detect the gigabit nic and load the sk98lin module ?
11:44 < rxr> sk98lin is for the gigabit nic ?
11:44 < jeru> rxr: what could be the problem that the nic isn't detected ?
11:45 < jeru> yep
11:45 < rxr> no idea - the kernel modules is loaded ?
11:45 < jeru> rxr: SysKonnect compatible chip
11:45 < jeru> rxr: no ... the kernel module isn't loaded at boot
11:46 < rxr> hm
11:46 < rxr> it is pci ?
11:47 < rxr> can you tar me the associated:
11:48 < rxr> /sys/bus/pci/devices/????:??:??.? sysfs directory ?
11:49 < jeru> rxr: the nic is onboard, so I guess it's using pci
11:50 < jeru> but I think I've also a switch/nic related problem too ... will check the switch config now
11:51 < jeru> there are some errors "Class: hardware error" in the kernel log
11:52 < jeru> strange ... I setup a system with the same NIC without problems using T2 <-- my IDS at work
11:53 < jeru> but it has a static kernel with sk98lin compiled into it
11:57 < valentin> oh - today is "linux in Berlin" ... no time for that anyway
11:59 < jeru> ok ... at least I've a link now ... had to set the port on the switch explicitely to Gigabit speed
12:00 < jeru> damn autonegotiation
12:00 < rxr> hehe
12:00 < rxr> valentin: linux what ?
12:00 < valentin> http://www.linuxinberlin.de
12:03 < jeru> valentin: btw, gonicus creates the custom debian clients for munich's linux migration project
12:03 < rxr> Mark Washeim - Dyne:bolic Dyne:bolic ist eine von CD-bootende GNU/Linux-Distribution.
12:03 < rxr> ?
12:03 < jeru> rxr: some competitor ? ;)
12:03 < valentin> seems so
12:04 < valentin> how comes i never heard about that event before ?
12:04 < valentin> jeru: who is gonicus ?
12:04 < rxr> I heared about s.th. like that on the it profits form the th data person
12:04 < rxr> he wanted to send me a mail so I can held a talk
12:05 < rxr> seems he forgot that ... :-(
12:05 < rxr> but he did not even know the name at that time - IIRC
12:05 < rxr> name of this event ... that is
12:16 * rxr away - cu soon
12:22 < valentin> cu
12:24 -!- mtr [~michael@p54AFAA47.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #t2
12:25 < mtr> hi
12:30 < valentin> hi mtr
12:44 < valentin> for chat dialing there is DT (tone dialing) and DP (pulse dialing). Am i missing something ? is M0 (quiet) a needed command at all ?
12:45 < valentin> ah - M0 turns of the "noise"
12:48 * valentin has not used an analog modem for years ...
12:49 < valentin> where do i set the M0/M1 command ? in the dial string or in the init ?
12:49 < valentin> like ATM0DT ?
12:52 < jeru> re
12:54 < valentin> i mean, what is analog ? we live i a quantum world - there is nothing like "continuosity" in our universe
12:55 < valentin> everything is discrete, that is the way god meant it to be
12:55 < valentin> god was the first hacker ,)
13:04 < valentin> he even knows how to hide his traces and how to veil his identity, so he must be very skilled ...
13:12 < jsaw> :)
13:14 < valentin> hi jsaw, how are you ?
13:15 < jsaw> tired :|
13:15 < jsaw> we're going to Allgaeu for a week (well, I'll be back on Tuesday) tomorrow... relaxing a bit at least
13:16 < valentin> :)
13:17 < valentin> how are your lasers ?
13:18 < jsaw> haven't checked 'em for two weeks ... but the last time (after I found out that the base plate of the pump laser was clogged and then after cleaning it) it was working great
13:19 < valentin> how far does it reach ? (i have a helicopter problem here....)
13:19 < jsaw> :)
13:20 < valentin> i guess infrared will be mostly absorbed in the air, right ?
13:20 < jsaw> water actually
13:20 < jsaw> I don't know it's spread, but I guess currently it doubles diameter every few meters
13:21 < jsaw> but the green pump plaser (10W, 532nm) doubles diameter something like every 50m, so...
13:22 < valentin> hm, they do not fly by so close - but i could place some fake sprayers in front of our house
13:22 < valentin> oh
13:22 < valentin> green laser sounds good
13:22 < valentin> how much energy ?
13:22 < jsaw> 10W
13:22 < valentin> not bad ...
13:23 < jsaw> some 200.000$ spare?
13:23 < valentin> hm, i guess an old russian r0ck*t l4uncher will be cheaper ...
13:24 < valentin> ok, let's stop - otto is listening...
13:24 < jsaw> :)
13:24 < valentin> they gave you $200k to build your laser ?
13:25 < jsaw> uhm, I guess altogether the project is way more expensive
13:25 < jsaw> http://www.geocities.com/resalles/N2/n2_laser.html
13:25 < valentin> wow
13:27 < jsaw> Sounds a lot but isn't really. Mostly reusable parts...so...
13:27 < valentin> about two years ago i met a pupil who build his own working scanning tunel microscope at pocketmoney cost
13:27 < valentin> he won a price at "jugend forscht"
13:27 < jsaw> We had a guy here that set up a MRI thing, he spent 7M$ only for the magnets...
13:28 < valentin> hehe
13:28 < jsaw> valentin: I faintly remember
13:28 < valentin> i was quite impressed by that project
13:29 < valentin> we have to fight hard, to get the money for a bigger cluster ....
13:29 < valentin> and physicans throw millions out of the window :)
13:29 < jsaw> hehe
13:40 < jeru> hi jsaw
13:41 < jeru> windoofs is such a crap ....
13:42 < jeru> or I'm not compatible ...
13:43 < jeru> I tried to logon on a machine as admin for 1000 times with no success ... tried every pw I had
13:43 < jeru> then I ask my windoofs admin collegue to try too, and it worked instantly
13:46 < valentin> i know exactly what you mean - windows hates me, too ...
13:50 < jeru> oh ... good ... I'm not alone :D
13:55 < jsaw> hi jeru
13:55 < jeru> valentin: I think ... Otto has made a deal with Billy, and they've implemented sth. like a biometric scan for linux users
13:55 < jeru> hi jsaw :)
13:59 < valentin> jeru: i.e. biometric scan for intelligence
14:00 < jeru> valentin: what do you want to tell me ? :)
14:29 < jeru> btw, why do wen no enable highmem support by default ?
14:29 < jeru> we

14:49 < valentin> hi rxr
14:49 < valentin> hi tilix
14:49 < jeru> hi rxr, tilix
14:49 < rxr> hey tilix
14:50 < tilix> rxr: tested T2 Live r3 on AthonXP 2600+/512 RAM with NForce2 chipset (integrated) and it started an endless loop trying to load the X Server saying "NO screens found"
14:50 < tilix> hi
14:50 < tilix> ... (integrated video card) ...
14:50 < rxr> hm - that is not good ...
14:51 < rxr> tilix: does it stop the endless loop with "disabling X for 5 minutes due to respawning too fast" or so ?
14:51 < tilix> yes
14:51 < rxr> good
14:51 < rxr> can you login as "live" no passwd and visit the /var/log/X*.log what is wrong?
14:52 < rxr> and / or review or send me the /etc/X11/xorg.conf generated ?
14:52 < tilix> I`m testing it on the same PC I`m using. Probably later it would be possible.
14:52 < rxr> would be nice
14:53 < tilix> Any way to specify the X server module and the refresh rate in grub?
14:55 < rxr> not yet - I'll add this soon
14:57 < tilix> tried to reconfigure xorg with xorgconfig but happened the same
14:59 < tilix> I also cound`t copy any files to the HDD, because /mnt was read-only
15:06 < jeru> rxr: can we enable kernel highmem support by default on T2 ?
15:09 < rxr> tilix: you should be able to mount to /mnt anyway - or just mount it to /home/ whatever it is writeable ,-)
15:10 < rxr> jeru: I think it has a performance penalty, hasn't it
15:10 < rxr> shouldn't the few users just recompile their kernel ... ? Or are the so many ...
15:11 < rxr> http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/59498
15:11 < jeru> rxr: anyway I can live with the current state because I'll mostly recompile the kernel
15:11 < jeru> rxr: but what performance issues do mentioned ?
15:11 < jeru> do you
15:13 < rxr> I think himem handling will have a <1% performance penalti for us normal low-mem users ,-)
15:14 < jeru> rxr: ah! ok ... so you want to squeeze out everything out of you lowmem boxes ;)
15:14 < valentin> there was a himem option in M$ dos, too *g*
15:14 < valentin> enabling a few more kb above the 640 kb you could address with a hack in x86 real mode
15:15 < rxr> jeru: how many x86 with more than 4GB are there ?
15:17 < jeru> rxr: the problem isn't the 4GB border ... i.e. I've 2GB on my current test machine at work ... look at this ->
15:17 < jeru> root@dungeon:/t2# cat /proc/meminfo
15:17 < jeru> MemTotal: 904116 kB
15:19 < valentin> jeru: i want to have your "test machines" ....
15:19 < jeru> valentin: I'd like to have it too ;)
15:19 < jeru> at home of course
15:20 < jeru> so I've to enable highmem support to use the 2GB
15:22 < jeru> hmmm .... seems that this isec security crew from polland is quite active
15:22 < rxr> hm - "interesting"
15:22 < jeru> rxr: what ?
15:23 < rxr> that you need himem for 2GB ...
15:23 < jeru> rxr: I even have to enable it to activate my 1GB on my notebook ;)
15:24 < rxr> hm - this sounds strange
15:24 < jeru> rxr: yep
15:26 < jeru> # cat /proc/meminfo
15:26 < jeru> MemTotal: 1032296 kB
15:26 < jeru> ups ...
15:31 < jeru> but anyway, also without the lingering 1GB the machine is quite fast compiling :)
15:35 < CIA-10> rene * r8827 /trunk/package/www/firefox/firefox.desc: * updated firefox (1.0.3 -> 1.0.4)
15:39 < valentin> wasn't there an ifconfig option to list all devices ?
15:39 < rxr> -a
15:39 < rxr> http://news.google.de/news?hl=de&ned=de&q=t2&btnG=News-Suche
15:39 < valentin> there is no hint in man ifconfig
15:40 < rxr> ip link
15:40 < rxr> ^- better use that anyway
15:40 < rxr> ifconfig is quite underfeatured
15:40 < valentin> thx
15:41 < rxr> ifconfig should not be used in T2 interna - the iproute2 package is the "supporting all the details" package
15:41 < valentin> what should i match ? some modules create devices like wlan*
15:45 < rxr> use iwconfig to find out which ones are w-lans ...
15:45 < valentin> that was not my question :)
15:46 < valentin> i wanted to know which devices to list and how to translate them into human compatible names
15:46 < valentin> for example i would exclude lo*
15:46 < valentin> and maybe even sit* for the dau-version
15:47 < rxr> skip sit and lo for now
15:47 < rxr> display Modem (PPP) for ppp* and W-Lan for all that appears in iwconfig and Ethernet for the rest

16:17 < valentin> 15:53 < valentin> s/fake/phishing/ ?
16:17 < valentin> i thought it would be nice to display something like the product if users have two network cards
16:17 < rxr> ip
16:17 < rxr> ignore last line
16:18 < valentin> hm ? my ip just outputs stuff like
16:18 < valentin> 1: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
16:18 < valentin> link/ether 00:0a:95:eb:dd:0c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
16:25 < rxr> valentin: keep coding - I take a look in a minute
16:25 < valentin> list of tty devices is /dev/tty* and /dev/usb/tty/* ?
16:25 < rxr> I wrote no
16:25 < rxr> I wrote ignore the ip line ..
16:25 < rxr> list:
16:25 < rxr> /dev/tts/?
16:26 < rxr> I can tell you the usb ones in some minutes - when I plug my handy in ...
16:28 < valentin> rxr: there is /dev/usb/tts/[0-9]*
16:28 < valentin> according to your config
16:28 < valentin> i have a prob
16:29 < valentin> on kerstins athlon ip link does not list the ethernet card
16:29 < valentin> ouhm
16:29 < valentin> mom
16:29 < valentin> maybe there is no more card inside
16:29 < valentin> i take a look
16:30 < rxr> ip link lists the mall
16:30 < rxr> lspci can tell you ,-)
16:30 < rxr> ok then usb/tts/* ...
16:31 < valentin> stupid question : is there an easy way to read command line output into my programm without using ugly virtual console stuff ?
16:32 < valentin> ok, i can "> tempfile"
16:33 < rxr> create a pipe and connect it to stdout ...
16:33 < rxr> or do >tempfile for now
16:34 < valentin> ok - we should hack a std::istream deriviate for that some day
16:34 < valentin> btw: i think matching for link/ether is more robust than filtering after device names, what do you think ?
16:35 < rxr> yes ack
16:35 < rxr> link/ppp
16:35 < rxr> for PPP
16:37 < valentin> well, ppp is volatile - why should i need to scan for that ?
16:38 < rxr> yes, ok - you need not
16:38 < rxr> http://ec-outpost.dyndns.org/pics/
16:51 < rxr> I find no direct way
16:51 < rxr> indirect to get the vendor name would be:
16:51 < rxr> /sys/class/net/eth*/device/...
16:52 < rxr> would then you would need to parse the USB, PCI and so on files there. ..
16:58 < rxr> # ethtool -i eth0
17:02 < rxr> valentin: ethtool -i eth1 | grep driver: - I find nothing better right now
17:04 < valentin> thanks rxr
17:06 < valentin> hm ethtool is not installed on kerstins box
17:06 < valentin> and on mine it gives an error for eth1
17:10 < valentin> who cares, lets hope power users with more than one ethernet card are not lame ...

17:46 < jeru> rxr: btw, already tested the livecd rev. 4 on a HP/Compaq d330m/P2 workstation with a P4 2.8Ghz/512MB RAM/Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 but X won't start
17:46 < rxr> those damn mozilla bastads ...
17:46 < rxr> changed the naming of their f*cking file again
17:47 < rxr> this nvidia seems to be a common factor
17:47 < rxr> can you extract the xorg.conf and the /var/log/X*log for me ?

18:01 < jeru> rxr: you should have mail ... testing the next candidate ;)
18:07 < rxr> jeru: what is lspci | grep -i vga on that box ?

18:18 < jeru> rxr: you've got mail to extend the homepage for working hardware ;)
18:20 < rxr> jeru: is the string I pasted above correct ?
18:20 < rxr> what is the output of this on the box that does not yet work:
18:20 < rxr> lspci | grep -i vga | cut -d ' ' -f 2- | cut -d : -f 2-
18:20 < rxr> ?
18:20 < rxr> hi mnemoc
18:21 < jeru> already checking ... 1 moment please
18:25 < valentin> rxr: should i support utoptic setups like pppoe over wlan ?
18:25 < rxr> yes
18:25 < rxr> some people do this - including susan
18:26 < valentin> ok...
18:27 < jeru> rxr: string is matching + (rev a2) at the end
18:27 < rxr> jeru: did you used an USB CD-ROM on the working laptop ?
18:28 < jeru> rxr: no the built in
18:28 < jeru> but there is old usb burner attached to it
18:31 < valentin> i will create some lunch now
18:31 < valentin> bbl
18:31 < jeru> cu valentin
18:33 < rxr> jeru: I have no idea how "ati" get's into your config on the box with the nvidia arc
18:33 < rxr> card even
18:34 < jeru> rxr: hmmm ???
18:35 < rxr> on your nvidia box where X does not come up, ati is the driver in the xorg.conf ..
18:35 < mnemoc> hi rxr, valentin
18:36 < valentin> hi mnemoc
18:36 < jeru> rxr: yeah ... I recogniced it ... and I was also wondering ...
18:36 < rxr> can you boot on that box again and run /tmp/xdetect manually and write the output here?
18:39 < valentin> rxr: what about following scenario: configure ppp over an (wireless) ethernet device and setup a local ip on the same device ?
18:40 < rxr> works fine
18:40 < rxr> as it does to setup a local IP for the normal ethernet NIC
18:40 < jeru> rxr: sorry already switched off ... and I've to move away quickly ... :/
18:40 < rxr> okok ,-)
18:41 < jeru> will test it early in the morning and send you a mail
18:41 < jeru> cu all later ... hopefully I get my new dsl modem ....
18:41 < valentin> rxr: course, but there will be two interface sections then
18:41 -!- jeru [~jeru@mail.oberlinhaus.de] has quit [Remote closed the connection]
18:42 < rxr> valentin: ?
18:42 < rxr> there will be:
18:42 < rxr> interface eth1
18:42 < valentin> that is some kind of problem, because the question arises where to put the wireless section
18:42 < rxr> bla
18:42 < rxr> blubs
18:42 < valentin> bbl
18:42 < rxr> interface pp0
18:42 < rxr> pppoe eth1
18:42 < rxr> or so ..
18:42 < rxr> I see no problem
18:43 < mnemoc> why problem valentin ?

19:27 -!- tilix [~root@212.116.139.141] has left #t2 []
19:28 < valentin> rxr: problem is followning
19:28 < valentin> user does
19:28 < valentin> new profile -> pppoe
19:29 < valentin> and selects wireless device
19:29 < mnemoc> .oO
19:29 < valentin> then there should be a tab for the wireless configuration (essid key etc)
19:29 < valentin> otherwise that config is incomplete
19:30 < valentin> otoh if the user uses both a ppp config and a "normal" lan config on the same wireless device you would have duplicate entries
19:30 < valentin> or you generaly leave away the wireless config for pppoe devices
19:31 < rxr> call me please
19:31 < valentin> and hope the user will be smart enough to setup another interface section for wireless
19:31 < rxr> or I do if you prefer
19:31 < valentin> rxr: .oO ...
19:31 < valentin> rxr: i call you
19:32 < valentin> or .. you call.
19:32 < rxr> ?
19:32 < valentin> just call me :)
19:33 < mnemoc> you can only offer known interfaces for ppp
19:33 < mnemoc> and ensure consistency
19:34 < mnemoc> but i don't think it's write to force pppoe to be a non default profile

19:43 < tilix> rxr: did some more testing
19:43 < tilix> 1. arts complains for missing libgmodule-2.0
19:45 < tilix> 2. xdetect didn`t work for me. Edited by hand xorg.conf (with vesa driver there) - added nv and my refresh rate. startx started kde, but in some minutes everything started "to run around the monitor" - I guess something was trying to start xdetect again.
19:45 < tilix> because after some minutes it crashed with "no screen found"
19:46 < tilix> xdetect "sees" rivafb for an x.org driver. After second run, the driver is now ati
19:47 < tilix> 3. no sound - it loads the correct modules, but Kmix can`t find anything (maybe the missing lib from arts)
19:47 < tilix> that`s all for now
19:47 < mnemoc> rxr: when nvidia?
19:48 < tilix> mnemoc: it`s already in xdetect
19:48 < mnemoc> great!
19:48 < _Ragnar__> mnemoc: what do I do with a patch that is no longer needed?
19:49 < tilix> but it doesnt work (at least for me)

23:18 < rxr> aside that I'm already suspected for having the no. 1 traffic generator there ...
23:19 < rxr> on good months it generates the traffic on one day, generated by all the other servers and such in the wohle uni ...
23:19 < _Ragnar__> rxr: tracker is http

23:20 < rxr> ISOs are the traffic killer
23:20 < rxr> 447.07 GB this year
23:21 < _Ragnar__> yea putting those on bittorrent should help

23:21 < rxr> 1555.83 GB in 2003
23:21 < _Ragnar__> :)
23:22 < rxr> compared to other uni server only that is - some people consume a lot of traffic on the clients of course ...
23:22 < rxr> downloading their windows warez and whatever ...
23:24 < _Ragnar__> *hrhr*
23:24 < mnemoc> iirc there is a free services to share via torrent linux ISOs
23:27 < rxr> if it is http I can run it ...
