| 05:12.33 | flypiper | my computer just locked up... wierd.. it has never done that before... |
| 05:14.24 | mzb | how odd |
| 05:15.00 | flypiper | it was like the HD was busy processing something and wouldn't do a thing |
| 05:15.06 | flypiper | you messing with me? |
| 05:15.36 | mzb | me? |
| 05:15.47 | mzb | you mean hacking? |
| 05:15.54 | mzb | I don't do that sort of thing |
| 05:17.27 | flypiper | Feb 16 18:11:05 Berry smartd[2938]: Device: /dev/hda, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors |
| 05:17.27 | flypiper | Feb 16 18:11:05 Berry smartd[2938]: Device: /dev/hda, 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors |
| 05:17.40 | flypiper | that is odd .... in the logs |
| 05:18.38 | flypiper | not you hacking ....... I have very old crap... sometimes it just refuses to work |
| 05:19.36 | mzb | doesn't look too good ... how old is the drive? |
| 05:19.45 | flypiper | Feb 16 06:34:04 Berry avahi-daemon[2803]: Invalid query packet. |
| 05:19.45 | flypiper | Feb 16 06:34:45 Berry last message repeated 13 times |
| 05:20.11 | flypiper | That doesn't look good..... |
| 05:20.18 | flypiper | drive is about 4 years old |
| 05:20.31 | flypiper | :q |
| 05:20.59 | mzb | you may be able to get the drive to swap out that (presumably) bad sector for one of it's spare good ones |
| 05:21.42 | flypiper | I just shut it down and rebooted it... everything looked fine.. dunno |
| 05:21.53 | mzb | you work out which sector it is, and then write 0's to it ... the drive then realizes that it's no longer being used and automatically remaps it to a spare sector |
| 05:22.27 | mzb | that's the theory ... it turns out to be a bit of a challenge to calculate the exact sector, however ;) |
| 05:22.29 | flypiper | ahhh |
| 05:26.30 | mzb | in reality it's probably only a temporary fix, because it's usually the start of the drive dying |
| 05:26.43 | flypiper | it's 12:30, I have to go to bed my friend... have a good day.. talk to you later on |
| 05:26.46 | mzb | time to get SSD! ;) |
| 05:26.52 | mzb | righto! ttyl |
| 22:44.02 | flypiper | Im running debian on one of my old laptops... what do I need to install to call into the conference? Sip4 or twinkle? |
| 23:01.49 | mzb | twinkle is probably the easiest to setup |
| 23:02.56 | flypiper | do I need to get a phone number from google? |
| 23:03.21 | mzb | no |
| 23:03.33 | mzb | just a direct sip call should work |
| 23:03.46 | flypiper | ok, I have astrisk starting and need the code for US |
| 23:03.58 | flypiper | do you mind helping me set this up? |
| 23:04.10 | mzb | not at all |
| 23:04.24 | mzb | why are you doing asterisk? |
| 23:04.49 | flypiper | looked at twinkle and didn't understand the settings |
| 23:05.14 | mzb | in twinkle you just do a custom dial string: sip:4322@conf.freedoh.net |
| 23:05.26 | flypiper | ok.. let me try that |
| 23:05.28 | mzb | you'll find that asterisk is even more complicated ;) |
| 23:05.41 | mzb | and you'll still need a phone and/or voip client |
| 23:06.19 | mzb | I don't suppose you've got an android mobile/cell phone? |
| 23:06.48 | flypiper | iphone |
| 23:06.56 | mzb | hmm ... |
| 23:08.26 | flypiper | im there |
