[09:53] <i_am_n0thing> is there a way to manually set up netowrking in rock? [09:53] <blindcoder> sure [09:54] <blindcoder> for the easiest way you can creaty an init script containing the commands [09:54] <i_am_n0thing> because for some reason the config script doesn't seem to set it up for me [09:54] <blindcoder> do you use /etc/net/ or /etc/network/config? [09:54] <i_am_n0thing> /etc/network/config [09:54] <blindcoder> ah, okay [09:55] <blindcoder> just a second [09:55] <blindcoder> have a look at this: http://www.rocklinux.org/wiki/Network_Configuration [09:57] <i_am_n0thing> no offense, but that contains nothing I havn't already tried [09:57] <blindcoder> oh [09:57] <blindcoder> wait [09:57] <blindcoder> can you paste me the content of /etc/ROCK-VERSION please? [09:57] <blindcoder> it's just one line [09:58] <i_am_n0thing> ROCK Linux TRUNK (2006/07/26) [09:58] <blindcoder> interesting [09:58] <blindcoder> it should work, actually [09:58] <blindcoder> anyway [09:58] <i_am_n0thing> I know it should, It was working fine yesterday [09:59] <i_am_n0thing> My friend had setup it all up, and it was running fine [09:59] <i_am_n0thing> Until I rebooted the computer [09:59] <blindcoder> okay, a bit more troubleshooting then [09:59] <blindcoder> default runlevel is 3 or higher? [09:59] <i_am_n0thing> 3 exactly [10:00] <blindcoder> okay [10:00] <i_am_n0thing> But, I do have netowrk setup to run in run level 2 [10:00] <i_am_n0thing> or, atleast, did [10:00] <blindcoder> there's a S*network in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ ? [10:00] <i_am_n0thing> S15 to be exact [10:00] <blindcoder> hrm [10:01] <i_am_n0thing> I called him and he told me to do ifconfig -a [10:01] <i_am_n0thing> Grab whatever ethernet card I have hooked up and then run ifconfig eth0 up [10:01] <i_am_n0thing> then dhclient eth0 [10:01] <blindcoder> can you paste me the output of 'rc network start' into http://rafb.net/paste/ please? [10:02] <i_am_n0thing> umm, how do you do that? [10:02] <blindcoder> run "rc network start" [10:02] <blindcoder> then copy the output [10:02] <blindcoder> and paste it into the website [10:02] <blindcoder> it then tells you a link where you can link to [10:03] <i_am_n0thing> I'm gonna have to chroot, really quick [10:03] <i_am_n0thing> I'm running off a live disk [10:03] <blindcoder> ah, okay [10:04] <i_am_n0thing> ouch, that didn't work [10:04] <i_am_n0thing> it can't find the device files [10:04] <blindcoder> hrm [10:04] <i_am_n0thing> But I have a feeling that's because i'm using Gentoo's LiveCD [10:04] <blindcoder> it can't find /dev/fd/62 ? [10:05] <i_am_n0thing> normally, it would [10:05] <blindcoder> if that's the error, then it can be fixed [10:05] <i_am_n0thing> But since i'm runnign the script from a chrooted evironment, it can't find any dynamic device files [10:05] <blindcoder> ah, yeah [10:05] <blindcoder> hmm [10:05] <stf^rocklinux> hi [10:05] <blindcoder> can you just paste me the content of /etc/network/config and /etc/rc.d/init.d/network? [10:05] <blindcoder> hi stf^rocklinux :) [10:06] <stf^rocklinux> i_am_n0thing: do the following _before_ the chroot: mount --rbind /dev /chroot-dir/dev ; mount --bind /proc /chroot-dir/proc ; [10:07] <stf^rocklinux> that will fix the missing device files problem [10:07] <i_am_n0thing> here's /etc/network/config [10:07] <i_am_n0thing> http://rafb.net/p/9BJCiK66.html [10:07] <rocklogbot> Nopaste - No description: http://rafb.net/p/9BJCiK66.html [10:08] <blindcoder> well, that won't work [10:08] <blindcoder> since every configuration is commented out [10:09] <i_am_n0thing> actually, automatic configuration via dhcpd on eth0 should be uncommented [10:09] <i_am_n0thing> and here's inti.d's netowrk [10:09] <i_am_n0thing> http://rafb.net/p/MHOsfh38.html [10:09] <rocklogbot> Nopaste - No description: http://rafb.net/p/MHOsfh38.html [10:12] <blindcoder> hmm [10:13] <blindcoder> the "my hacked up code" section won't work [10:13] <blindcoder> but the section with dhcp really should [10:13] <i_am_n0thing> I noticed [10:13] <blindcoder> stf^rocklinux: got any clue? [10:15] <i_am_n0thing> I'll give someone a 2 gig shell account, they figure it out [10:16] <stf^rocklinux> the basic things to check: is the module loaded (see dmesg and lsmod)? is it active (see ifconfig -a)? [10:17] <stf^rocklinux> if yes you can try 'dhclient eth0' [10:17] <stf^rocklinux> udev should auto-load the module, and the network init script should active the interface and call dhclient... [10:18] <i_am_n0thing> it shows up in lsmod, and dhclient eth0 says it can't get any dhcp leases [10:19] <stf^rocklinux> did you do ifconfig eth0 up before dhclient eth0? [10:19] <blindcoder> stf^rocklinux: dhclient ups the interface itself [10:19] <i_am_n0thing> Yeah [10:19] <stf^rocklinux> I see [10:19] <blindcoder> not getting a lease means that there's no dhcp server answering [10:20] <i_am_n0thing> well, here's where it gets wierd, Slackware 11 can get a lease, and so can Gentoo Live [10:20] <i_am_n0thing> SO can Ubuntu 5.01 [10:20] <blindcoder> okay, that IS weird [10:20] <i_am_n0thing> So can just about every distro I throw at it [10:20] <blindcoder> i_am_n0thing: how many NICs do you have in that machine? [10:20] <blindcoder> ieee1394 cards? [10:21] <i_am_n0thing> no 1394 cards (freakin hate those) and I have 2 realtek 8139's in it [10:21] <blindcoder> okay, stupid thought here [10:21] <blindcoder> are you sure you run dhclient on the correct one? [10:21] <i_am_n0thing> Yeah [10:21] <blindcoder> maybe the numbering gets shuffled [10:21] <i_am_n0thing> Not a stupid though, but a very valid point [10:22] <i_am_n0thing> *thought [10:23] <i_am_n0thing> I've run dhclient on both, and tried connecting both [10:23] <i_am_n0thing> *connecting through both [10:23] <blindcoder> can I take you up on the shell offer? [10:23] <blindcoder> I don't think I can diagnose that effectively remotely [10:24] <i_am_n0thing> blindcoder: sure [10:24] <blindcoder> i_am_n0thing: http://scavenger.homeip.net/~blindcoder/id_rsa.pub [10:24] <blindcoder> i_am_n0thing: there's my ssh public key [10:26] <i_am_n0thing> How about I simplify this [10:26] <i_am_n0thing> nvm, that wouldn't work [10:27] <blindcoder> just copy this file to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys [10:27] <blindcoder> and tell me the IP address [10:27] <i_am_n0thing> The thing I don't get is, if I give you the shell account, how are you supposed to ssh into the machine without it being connected to the LAN? [10:27] <blindcoder> isn't it connected by the livecd? [10:27] <i_am_n0thing> Yeah [10:28] <blindcoder> that'll do for now [10:28] <i_am_n0thing> Gotta give me some leeway here, i'm dangling between the beginnner - intermediate area with Linux [10:28] <blindcoder> heh, okay :) [10:29] <blindcoder> first, copy the file linked above to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys of the livecd [10:29] <i_am_n0thing> Hmm, no .ssh directory found [10:29] <blindcoder> mkdir /root/.ssh first [10:30] <i_am_n0thing> ok, done [10:30] <blindcoder> next make sure that ssh runs [10:30] <blindcoder> /etc/init.d/sshd start [10:30] <blindcoder> or /etc/init.d/openssh start [10:31] <blindcoder> not sure how the file is called in gentoo [10:31] <i_am_n0thing> I can't rememebr how to start it on the livecd, but I know the init.d way won't work [10:31] <i_am_n0thing> So we look to the Install guide [10:31] <i_am_n0thing> :) [10:31] <blindcoder> hehe [10:34] <i_am_n0thing> OK, got that running [10:35] <i_am_n0thing> ok, ssh into 65.60.224.209 [10:36] <blindcoder> it doesn't accept my public key [10:36] <i_am_n0thing> Yeah, I just realized I port forwarded ssh to the wrong computer [10:36] <blindcoder> ah :) [10:38] <i_am_n0thing> ok, try again [10:38] <i_am_n0thing> I locked myself out, but .... [10:38] <i_am_n0thing> lol [10:39] <blindcoder> okay, it works [10:39] <i_am_n0thing> rock is mounted to /mnt/rock [10:41] <blindcoder> i_am_n0thing: yeah, found it [10:43] <blindcoder> i_am_n0thing: I will try running the network script from the chroot [10:43] <blindcoder> i_am_n0thing: I've started a screen for that [10:43] <blindcoder> i_am_n0thing: if that fails, I'll need you to reconfigure the network [10:44] <blindcoder> hmm [10:44] <blindcoder> seems to have worked [10:45] <blindcoder> hmm [10:45] <blindcoder> I think I got it [10:46] <i_am_n0thing> coo [10:46] <blindcoder> those aren't two realtek cards [10:46] <blindcoder> one is a broadcom card [10:46] <i_am_n0thing> I'd really like to get this netowrk thing figured out, because I have hopes of replacing all my PC's OS's with Rock [10:46] <i_am_n0thing> The broadcom should be disabled [10:46] <blindcoder> I've adapted the configuration to automatically setup eth0 AND eth1 [10:46] <i_am_n0thing> And you should find a seconf Realtek [10:47] <i_am_n0thing> nvm, i'm thinking of the worng computer [10:47] <blindcoder> :) [10:47] <blindcoder> okay, I've logged out [10:47] <blindcoder> can you try booting the ROCK system now, please? [10:48] <i_am_n0thing> Yup [10:48] <blindcoder> I think it should come up now [10:48] <i_am_n0thing> be back [10:48] <i_am_n0thing> I hope [10:48] Action: i_am_n0thing crosses fingers [10:48] i_am_n0thing (n=root@d60-65-209-224.col.wideopenwest.com) left irc: "Leaving" [10:55] i_am_n0thing (n=michele@d60-65-209-224.col.wideopenwest.com) joined #rocklinux.

[10:56] <blindcoder> :) [10:56] <blindcoder> look at the output of ifconfig -a [10:56] <blindcoder> and tell me which device is configured [10:56] <blindcoder> eth0 or eth1 [10:57] <blindcoder> then I can tell you what the problem was [10:57] <blindcoder> because there were two [10:57] <i_am_n0thing> oddly enough, eth1 [10:57] <blindcoder> okay, thought so [10:57] Action: i_am_n0thing feels like a dumbass [10:57] <blindcoder> it is actually two different kinds of cards [10:58] <blindcoder> and that means that the order the modules are loaded matters for the numbering [10:58] <i_am_n0thing> Normally, i'd be on top of that [10:58] <blindcoder> :) [10:58] <blindcoder> you should have a look at ifrename and /etc/iftab [10:58] <blindcoder> that way you can give devices a name based on - for example - their mac address [10:59] <blindcoder> I just added a second section for eth1 to /etc/network/config and configured both eth0 and eth1 to run a dhclient on [10:59] <i_am_n0thing> Ill cp the config to config.old and remove the eth0 [11:00] <i_am_n0thing> SLows down boot [11:00] <blindcoder> yeah [11:00] <blindcoder> and do have a look at the iftab thing [11:00] <blindcoder> because there's no guarantee that module loading order won't swap with the next kernel [11:00] <blindcoder> I've seen that personally [11:00] <i_am_n0thing> heh [11:00] <blindcoder> only way to really control that is through iftab and ifrename [11:01] <blindcoder> I gave my ethx device the names "lanx" based on their mac address [11:01] <blindcoder> that way it's guaranteed they'll alway have the same name [11:01] <blindcoder> cat /etc/iftab [11:01] <blindcoder> lan0 mac 00:02:B3:4C:58:9B [11:02] <i_am_n0thing> I tried that, it wasn't found [11:02] <i_am_n0thing> But I take it I have to make it myself anyway [11:02] <i_am_n0thing> like the .ssh directory [11:02] <blindcoder> yes, ifrename has to be called. It's a userland thing, not a kernel thing [11:03] <i_am_n0thing> Second question of the nihgt (or morning) [11:03] <i_am_n0thing> Where can I find a repository that has .gem packages? [11:04] <blindcoder> stf^rocklinux: your cue :) [11:04] <i_am_n0thing> Because i plan on running a very minimalistic version of rock on my Web server [11:04] <blindcoder> I'm not familiar with gem repositories. stf^rocklinux has done this in the past [11:04] <i_am_n0thing> Which is only 800Mhz [11:05] <blindcoder> I see [11:05] <blindcoder> well, I usually compile stuff myself, but I guess you don't want to wait that long [11:06] <i_am_n0thing> It's not the waiting, it's just the computers an antique and I don't quite feel like blowing her up yet [11:06] <i_am_n0thing> Plus, it's a sony Vaio, and it was expensive [11:07] <blindcoder> hehe [11:08] <i_am_n0thing> And the memory attached to her. I wanna keep her running as long as possible [11:08] <blindcoder> well, best wait for stf^rocklinux, I can't help you with gem repositories, sorry :( [11:08] <i_am_n0thing> it's ok, you've done more than enough [11:08] <blindcoder> nevermind, glad to be of service :) [11:08] <i_am_n0thing> Including teahc me some things I probably never would have learned otherwise [11:09] <blindcoder> you live, you learn :) [11:10] <blindcoder> so, anyway, I'm away for now. gotta get ready for the day :) [11:10] <stf^rocklinux> re [11:10] <blindcoder> see you later [11:10] <i_am_n0thing> bye [11:10] <i_am_n0thing> And thanks again [11:12] <stf^rocklinux> there's currently the official ROCK 3 package repository [11:12] <stf^rocklinux> at http://gems.rocklinux.org/repo/ROCK3/ [11:13] <stf^rocklinux> it's from August, 2006 [11:14] <stf^rocklinux> and offers packages for bootdisk and crystal and crystal addons [11:14] <i_am_n0thing> Yeah, i'm browsing through it now [11:18] <i_am_n0thing> OK, I think I added that correctly to the rocket.conf [11:19] <i_am_n0thing> Yup [11:19] <i_am_n0thing> Have you guys used the name Crystal for anything yet? [11:20] <i_am_n0thing> nvm [11:20] <i_am_n0thing> I meant to say emerald [11:21] <stf^rocklinux> no [11:21] <i_am_n0thing> yay, so my idea is original [11:21] <i_am_n0thing> well, semi-original [11:21] <i_am_n0thing> Butcha gotta stick with a theme [11:22] <i_am_n0thing> Reason i'm wondering, is because I was thinking about making a version of Rock Crystal for a few frineds of mine, and I was going to offer Emerald packages on my local server for them to downlaod [11:23] <i_am_n0thing> An emerald package being essentially a nig bz2 of a gem and it's depends [11:23] <i_am_n0thing> *big bz2 [11:24] <i_am_n0thing> I know it's redundant, but my friends like one big download over several small ones [11:25] <i_am_n0thing> Any objections? [11:25] <stf^rocklinux> no, sounds good :) [11:25] <i_am_n0thing> I also plan on replacing KDE w/ Xfce4 [11:26] <i_am_n0thing> Use my idea if you want [11:26] <stf^rocklinux> in custom builds, you can e.g. disable :doc and :dev packages and choose to build bz2 packages [11:27] <i_am_n0thing> there worse noobs than I am, they'll need all the :doc they can get thier hands on, lol [11:27] <stf^rocklinux> I mostly use the Crystal distro, with some adaptions [11:28] <i_am_n0thing> Any recommendations? [11:29] <stf^rocklinux> I usually build from svn trunk and test the build before installation [11:30] <stf^rocklinux> and fix the things that don't work for me [11:30] <i_am_n0thing> Hmm, I used to have to do that w/ Gentoo all the time [11:31] <i_am_n0thing> Because everything I tried to emerge was blacklisted [11:31] <i_am_n0thing> BTW, which version of the NVidia driver do you guys have? [11:31] <i_am_n0thing> Or would you know off hand? [11:32] <stf^rocklinux> not the latest [11:32] <i_am_n0thing> SO i'm guessing you don't have any w/ Twin View support? [11:32] <stf^rocklinux> the nvidia installer had changed, and since I don't have use an nvidia card anymore, there hasn't been an update yet [11:33] <i_am_n0thing> Well, taking a long shot here [11:33] <i_am_n0thing> If the repo was last updated on Aug of 2006, i'm gonna go with NVidia 8776, which would mean a def no [11:34] <i_am_n0thing> Damn [11:34] <i_am_n0thing> ohh, close [11:34] <i_am_n0thing> 8762 [11:34] <stf^rocklinux> you can of course update single package [11:34] <i_am_n0thing> meh, I had a feeling I was gonna have to grab the newest form the NVidia site anyway [11:35] <stf^rocklinux> with e.g. rocket emerge nvidia [11:36] <i_am_n0thing> atleast the nv insatllation isn't as bad as Ati [11:36] <stf^rocklinux> this is also helpful for installing the nvidia driver: http://www.rocklinux.org/wiki/Adding_Third_Party_Software_to_the_ROCK_Linux_Package_Management [11:36] blindcod1r (n=blindcod@dslb-088-073-071-084.pools.arcor-ip.net) joined #rocklinux.
