«nate...» *nods* yah... knew that.... (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:09pm) «lawrence» install sudo (if it isn't already) and use visudo to put yourself in the sudoers file. then if you *need* to execute a command as root, you do "sudo <command>" (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:09pm) «lawrence» try /usr/sbin/runlevel 5 (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:10pm) «lawrence» I suppose maybe your installation put it in a different place, but it *should* be in /sbin (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:10pm) «nate...» "no such file or directory" (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:10pm) «nate...» If I just type "runlevel" I get "N 3" (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:11pm) «lawrence» oh. then try runlevel 5 (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:11pm) «lawrence» you *did* install X, right? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:11pm) «nate...» right, I did... "unknown" (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:11pm) «nate...» it's mandrake.... 8.2 (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:11pm) «nate...» did a typical install, and have been running and rebooting fine for 3 days. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:12pm) «lawrence» do you have a routable IP? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:12pm) «lawrence» if you set up an account for me, I'll see if I can find anything... (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:12pm) «nate...» no.. not routable. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:13pm) «lawrence» doh (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:13pm) «nate...» dammit, maybe I'll just try reinstalling over this install. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:14pm) «lawrence» personally, I'd recommend wiping the drive and putting RedHad 7.3 on it. :) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:14pm) «lawrence» er, RedHat, even. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:14pm) «nate...» *shrugs* I could, but then I'd have to download it. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:14pm) «lawrence» it's only a 1.2GB download. :) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:14pm) «lawrence» you have a fast connection, right? :) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:15pm) «nate...» *nods* (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:15pm) «lawrence» (actually, you can get away with less - download a boot disk and do a net install) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:15pm) «nate...» what's the benefit? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:15pm) «nate...» other than you liking it more... that is... ;) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:15pm) «lawrence» the benefit is that I'm more familiar with it and could help you. and I think there may be more support out there for it. the knowledge base on redhat.com is pretty good. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:16pm) «nate...» *nods* (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:16pm) «nate...» got a good ftp server? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:16pm) «lawrence» I think redhat.com has a list of mirrors. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:16pm) «nate...» /me attempts to find any kind of free option on redhat.com (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:18pm) «nate...» ahh (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:19pm) «nate...» bah (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:21pm) «nate...» screw this... their ftp server runs like a dog's butt (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:21pm) «lawrence» don't use theirs, use a mirror! (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:22pm) «nate...» hmm.... the mirrors appear to be just as bad (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:22pm) «lawrence» mirror.arc.nasa.gov seems pretty good (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:24pm) «lawrence» not great, but I was getting 80k/s on it. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:24pm) «nate...» eh, screw it. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:24pm) «nate...» not worth the trouble.. I'll just reinstall mandrake (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:24pm) «nate...» :) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:24pm) «nate...» it'd still take me about 3 hours..... even on the fastest of their servers.... damn these are slow! (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:26pm) «John J. Ryan» Geek time.... (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:27pm) «John J. Ryan» I can't copy a file that is more than 4 GB in size. Explain? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:27pm) «Kevin - King of WiFi» hi everyone (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:27pm) «John J. Ryan» Hey Kevin (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:27pm) «nate...» john: why? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:28pm) «lawrence» um, why do you *have* a file that big? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:28pm) «John J. Ryan» The server side would give me the error that there is not enough disk space (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:28pm) «John J. Ryan» This is all part of the Exchange problem (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:28pm) «Kevin - King of WiFi» still doing mailboxes? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:28pm) «John J. Ryan» The Priv.edb file can get that big in Exchange (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:29pm) «lawrence» easy to solve - replace exchange with a real mail server. :) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:29pm) «John J. Ryan» IT's at 16 GB now, and you have to defrag it to make it smaller (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:29pm) «Kevin - King of WiFi» hehe, harsh (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:29pm) «John J. Ryan» Actually, I'd prefer A mail server. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:29pm) «John J. Ryan» Exchange isn't a mail server, it's a #@$! nightmare! (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:29pm) «lawrence» well, yeah (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:30pm) «John J. Ryan» So I'm trying to do the defrag, redirecting the temp file to a machine that has the space to handle it. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:30pm) «John J. Ryan» Wrong, after 4 GB it stops (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:30pm) «Kevin - King of WiFi» :0( (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:31pm) «John J. Ryan» I try to copy the priv.edb file over to a machine that has a disk space so I can do the defrag locally. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:31pm) «lawrence» windows and windows software just are not meant to serve. they're ok for users, but really, they don't have what it takes to be servers of any kind. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:31pm) «lawrence» you probably just can't have a file over 4GB on that file system. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:31pm) «John J. Ryan» Wrong again, not enough disk space it says on the server (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:31pm) «John J. Ryan» Windows 2000? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:31pm) «John J. Ryan» (The server is Windows NT) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:31pm) «John J. Ryan» (The workstation is 2000) (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:32pm) «lawrence» both are still overrated for their supposed serving abilities. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:32pm) «John J. Ryan» Then, I try a different approach, back up the priv.edb to tape, then restore on the workstation with all the space (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:32pm) «John J. Ryan» Backs up fine, restore.... (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:32pm) «John J. Ryan» WRONG! Again, stop at 4 GB. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:32pm) «lawrence» what file is this? does it actually contain anything you can't afford to erase? (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:32pm) «John J. Ryan» And each of these steps took hours to complete (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:33pm) «John J. Ryan» Uhhhh, try EVERYONE's mail, contacts, calendars, tasks, attachments..... (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:33pm) «John J. Ryan» Outlook stores EVERYTHING into one big file. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:33pm) «lawrence» wow. that's a spectacularly bad design. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:33pm) «John J. Ryan» I'll tell Bill Gates that. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:33pm) «John J. Ryan» "The Gates" has become my unofficial song of this week. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:34pm) «nate...» ahhh... got it! (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:34pm) «nate...» went into failsafe and reset the boot config..... (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:34pm) «nate...» go mad guywhodoesn'tknowwhatthehellhe'sdoing skillz! (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:34pm) «John J. Ryan» Hell, I knew what I was doing and I stioll couldn't fix it. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:35pm) «John J. Ryan» What's more, my guitar won't be ready until tomorrow. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:35pm) «John J. Ryan» The repair shop guy only comes in once a week, and he had to attend a wake. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:36pm) «lawrence» doh. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:36pm) «John J. Ryan» The guitar place guarantees that it will be ready tomorrow, but that doesn't give me much time to testr it before I head out to Wisconsin. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:37pm) «nate...» don't believe them! they lie! (Aug 13, 2002 @ 6:48pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Hmmm (Aug 13, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» almost time to go home. I should do something tonight. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Hmmm...what *shall* I do... (Aug 13, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» .oO They say Hitler's heart is really no big deal Oo. (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:03pm) «nate...» wow... the wall is just pathetic tonight (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:30pm) «nate...» and again, I say... "wow" (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:46pm) «nate...» wowowow (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:46pm) «nate...» WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:46pm) «nate...» la la la (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:46pm) «nate...» la la (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:46pm) «nate...» la (Aug 13, 2002 @ 8:46pm) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
