[SLUG] Server problems and my day at linux.
I just spent an unproductive day at the School. The network appears to be dodgey and not pulling data across very quickly from the internet. My 'server' is now crashing like crazy it takes a few hours to crash and a hardware reset brings it back to life. I just ran it on the desktop with a screen and it got a VFS error with 8192 not enough something. I looked and there were 200 odd nmbd clients so I killed them before I left (why would I be getting them?). ssh dies and will not accept connections so hardware reset is my fix at present. The squid proxy does not appear to want to get data from the internet, it is very very slow. I left a script running with apt-get upgrage -y and sleep 600 then repeat running to hopefully get the cache updated overnight. The new computer I have apt-get install -y xwindows, rsync, and ssh. Hopefully I will have some data in the squid proxy when I get back tomorrow morning. Another day in paradise...

[SLUG] Newbie question - connecting to bigpond cable
Hi, I have a question about connecting to bigpond cable with Mandrake 8.2. As far as I can see, the modem is connected correctly to the server, but when I run the bpalogin client, the authorisation does not work. The port which it listens on seems strange to me. Can anyone confirm that my version of bpalogin should work? (I'm pretty sure I am using the correct logon id. Anyway, the error I see is "other error", not "logon not recognised".) (note that in the trace there are many kernel warnings. I think this is because Mandrake does not recognise the on-board sound card on my PC. This is bad, but I don't see why it should stop the internet connection) If anyone can give me some tips I would appreciate it. The details are: I downloaded bpalogin-2.0-linux.tar.gz from http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/ (following the instructions in http://www.linuxathome.net/bpalogin.php ) I put bpalogin in /usr/sbin and bpalogin.conf in /etc after editing the username and password. (also bpalogin.init in /etc/rc.d/init.d although I have not used this yet) I check that my modem is connected by typing ftp dce-server. Then I start bpalogin by typing bpalogin -c /etc/bpalogin.conf The resulting messages in /var/log/messages are given at the end of this mail. thanks Paul Gilchrist This is the trace in /var/log/messages: Oct 24 17:51:10 telstra bpalogin[2078]: BPALogin v2.0 - lightweight portable BIDS2 login client Oct 24 17:51:10 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Auth host = dce-server:5050 Oct 24 17:51:10 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Listening on port 32771 Oct 24 17:51:10 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:51:11 telstra last message repeated 5 times Oct 24 17:51:11 telstra bpalogin[2078]: T_MSG_LOGIN_RESP - Login failure: other error Oct 24 17:51:11 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Sleeping for 60 seconds Oct 24 17:51:11 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:51:42 telstra last message repeated 473 times Oct 24 17:52:11 telstra last message repeated 461 times Oct 24 17:52:12 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Auth host = dce-server:5050 Oct 24 17:52:12 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Listening on port 32772 Oct 24 17:52:12 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:52:12 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:52:12 telstra bpalogin[2078]: T_MSG_LOGIN_RESP - Login failure: other error Oct 24 17:52:12 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Sleeping for 60 seconds Oct 24 17:52:12 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:52:43 telstra last message repeated 475 times Oct 24 17:53:12 telstra last message repeated 459 times Oct 24 17:53:12 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Auth host = dce-server:5050 Oct 24 17:53:12 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Listening on port 32773 Oct 24 17:53:12 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:53:12 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:53:13 telstra bpalogin[2078]: T_MSG_LOGIN_RESP - Login failure: other error Oct 24 17:53:13 telstra bpalogin[2078]: Sleeping for 60 seconds Oct 24 17:53:13 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:53:18 telstra last message repeated 78 times Oct 24 17:53:18 telstra kernel: MSDOS FS: IO charset iso8859-1 Oct 24 17:53:18 telstra kernel: MSDOS FS: Using codepage 850 Oct 24 17:53:18 telstra kernel: via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused Oct 24 17:53:49 telstra last message repeated 477 times Yahoo!

[SLUG] Software RAID-5?
Heya :) I was thinking of making a RAID-5 out of 3 120gig drives, 'cuz the thought of loosing my silly stuff is freaking me out. I have some questions though before i do it... a) How do you know when one of the harddrive fails? Do i have to look in the messages all the time for it or will it ( or can i make it) beep on bootup or smth like that to let me know that it failed? b) Is it CPU-intensive? I have 4 drives right now in P133 with 98MBram all using Promise cards and it's running 2.4.18-xfs kernel (rh7.2), and not sure if my setup will handle RAID-5. c) This is silly, but can i add more drives later to that RAID-5? Like another 1 or 2 drives and not loose anything, or should i be looking at LVM rather than raid5?

What does netstat -r show when your PPP commection is up? What are you using to dial the PPP conection? A script? A GUI based dialer? Which user are you running it as? If you're using a script - do you have the "defaultroute" option in it? What does /etc/ppp/options say? Give us a bit more info, and someone will probably be able to help.

RAID is pretty simple stuff, so it's usually I/O speed that you should look into if it's important to you. The gnome.org machines run on software RAID-5, and we haven't had too many problems... However, if there are lot of writes going on, it will take a fair bit of cpu / kernel time. > c) This is silly, but can i add more drives later to that RAID-5? Like another > 1 or 2 drives and not loose anything, or should i be looking at LVM rather > than raid5? Because of the way the data is laid out, you can't add more drives later with RAID-5 without backing up and creating a new array. However, if you're just interested in more redundancy, you can create a RAID-5 array of RAID-1 arrays. This sounds silly, but sometimes it's useful. LVM is worth looking at, but is going to change in 2.6 anyway. :-) - Jeff -- chown -R us:us yourbase -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Then you just top up as necessary. Alternately, sign up with one of the big three, and get a new SIM on whatever package you choose. You don't have to buy a phone to get a SIM.

The one on my desk here in front of me is used for molecular structure calculation using a program called texsan. That prog takes x-ray diffraction data and works back from the scattering pattern toi determine the actual molecular structure of the crystal. You can display it on screen then and rotate it around. The report format for the data is TeX -> dvi -> PostScript. So I have good fun with students that want to incorporate it via cut-n-paste into Word :-) [so if you ever want to get rid of it as its too slow for quake.] Oh it's the same O2 that sometimes kindly supplies its video cable to bail out SLUG meetings.

Re: [SLUG] Is my IRIX box i386 ? Can I put Linux on it ?
i dont play quake, or other games for that matter (does minesweeper count as a game?). but if you need a donation O2 machine, i will swing the matter by my boss and see if he still wants it for some strange and obscure reason. if he doesnt need it, then i'll see what i can do :) Tom - Original Message - From: "Michael Lake" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 9:43 AM Subject: Re: [SLUG] Is my IRIX box i386 ?

[SLUG] (no subject)
I have a question about linux. I am trying to do a partitionless install of Red Hat 7.1. In disk Druid, it shows the main hard drive to bee completely full. The free space on the drive = 5.77 GB in windows. The problem is, that during the actual installation, it tells me the cd image cannot be copied to the hard drive. It saya that this is probably due to the hard drive being full. when specifiing the amount of space to use, it is set to 2000. the customized installation ocupies around 1300(Mb). could anyone help? _ Choose an Internet access plan right for you -- try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
