The often overlooked pinnacle of awesome. He is an enigma, nobody knows what he's thinking nor feeling at the moment, yet this is what makes him appealing to EVERYONE. Handsome, intelligent, friendly, and refined, it is hard to find a single word that can encapsulate the greatness he exudes. To be a Boris is to be the ultimate underdog; everybody seems to underestimate and even forget about him, but he never fails to blow minds whenever it's his time to shine.

@Bob yea , i see it regualrly and also, i ran fsck but still..

it HAPPENS EVERY TIME

No, I will not fix your computer.

Bob

Calm down, start from the beginning.

We can't read minds.

Utkarsh

10:52

@Bob okay

Bob

What does the kernel panic say?

Is there a pattern?

Can you identify a trigger?

What have you changed recently, even if it seems innocuous?

How long has this been happening for?

Utkarsh

@Bob it says that no file found and i am redirected to a grub rescue

3 days

i repair it by live cd but...

again it happens

and also, sometime it gives me grub rescue and sometimes it works normally

please help!

@Bob can you help me?

Bob

@Utkarsh for crying out loud, details

how do you repair it?

Journeyman Geek

@Utkarsh: why don't you calm down, and post a question?

Include everything

specific error messages, and what you've done to fix it?

Bob

The more details, the more help you'll get.

Also, regarding error messages, do not paraphrase errors. Ever.

Always give the exact wording.

Utkarsh

Journeyman Geek

why did you repair it in the first place?

Bob

and what was the process of this "repair"?

Utkarsh

@Bob I just shutted down my pc from mains

Bob

In general, computers are not random - every issue has a cause.

Utkarsh

@Bob i pressed "R" while in the grub splash screen

and it started to mount anything

Bob

11:16

o.O

Yea, you're better off asking on the main site (either Super User or Unix & Linux), with as much information as possible.

Journeyman Geek

11:35

sigh

looks like my host is down again

I wonder what it is this time

Bob

@JourneymanGeek which hosT?

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: the freebie one

(so I'll not name and shame)

annoyingly my rss client is hosted with him

I'll likely end up moving it locally or to the raspi when I have the chance

Bob

@JourneymanGeek uhh

is it the one run by your acquaintance?

Journeyman Geek

Yeah

Bob

The one that said the lowendboxes were bad?

-__-

Journeyman Geek

11:42

;p

yeaaaaah

Bob

about that...

Journeyman Geek

;p

he's been down 3-4 times already

so yeah, when it comes back up, I'll just dump my DB and decide

Bob

...yea, I'll stick with my $10/yr box

Journeyman Geek

I also found a desktop client I actually like

Bob

it's currently at about 40 days uptime

Journeyman Geek

11:43

XD

My VPS rebooted once ;p

Bob

only problem is I randomly can't connect to it from my home network

but that's some routing weirdness - tunnelling through a different VPS works

Journeyman Geek

yeah

Bob

can't really blame the provider for that

oooh, correction, 60 days

Journeyman Geek

and heh, the place I know him from also 'lost' their irc network hub

and...

Bob

and that was probably when I rebooted it to try to fix the routing

Journeyman Geek

11:44

I believe he was running it too

Bob

no crashes AFAIK :P

@JourneymanGeek wait what

Journeyman Geek

so meh, I'll wait for it to come back up, backup, move, and give it a subdomain and use it as a spare

lol

I don't know the full story yet

but my faith in his ability to know his elbow from his ******* is shaken

Bob

lol

Journeyman Geek

oh

(god I miss google reader :/)

Journeyman Geek

12:02

heh

the raspi is a suprisingly good nas

Bob

@JourneymanGeek until you realise that its max throughput is about 50 Mb/s

that's about 5 MB/s

Journeyman Geek

o0

Bob

it's got one USB hub

oh wait, miscalculated

100 Mb/s and 10 MB/s. Sorry.

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: well, I obviously have low expectations

Bob

if you put a GbE port on the USB2.0 hub, you could go up to maybe 15 MB/s

Journeyman Geek

12:10

gig-e on that is a bit of a waste

don't forget, some software is processor limited

Bob

@JourneymanGeek not basic file transfer

bittorrent is more processor intensive, but that's an outlier

Journeyman Geek

yeah

Bob

hm. I wonder if it would be possible to hack the HDMI into data transfer?

it would be output only, but that doesn't sound too bad

Journeyman Geek

>_>

HDMI does have ethernet

you'd need a HDMI input somewhere

it might almost make more sense to have usb ethernet adaptors bonded

Bob

@JourneymanGeek video capture? :D

Journeyman Geek

12:13

and how is this faster than regular file transfer?

hmm

tricky thing is most of my file transfers are one way

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Well, HDMI 2.0 has up to 18 Gbps (4k video)

Journeyman Geek

I COULD set up a web server and snarf it down that way

@Bob: you'd need to process the video at the reciever end ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek video capture software without compression

even at 1080p, that's 6 MB per frame

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: then convert the video to usable data ;p

in realtime or near realtime

Bob

at 60fps, that's 370 MB/s

@JourneymanGeek you can post-process it

in fact, you don't even have to

if you just send the raw bytes, you can just receive the raw bytes :P

Journeyman Geek

12:16

lol

Bob

not sure what video format HDMI uses, but if it were even remotely similar to a basic bitmap, then that would be quite easy

you're not converting to video and back

Journeyman Geek

(or yanno, switch to my brother's old laptop, it has gig-e)

Bob

you're sending the raw bytes as if it were video

@JourneymanGeek Foget GbE, this is 3 Gbps with 1080p @ 60 fps

Journeyman Geek

;p

one way, with additional hardware ;p

Bob

18 Gbps if you have HDMI in and out capable of 4k

@JourneymanGeek true

Journeyman Geek

12:17

and I'm pretty sure thats compressed

Bob

> The HDMI specification specifies several modes of uncompressed digital video.

:D

Journeyman Geek

Ok, I concede the point ;p

Is the Ram In a CPU cache that much different than ram that is on motherboards? I just got a lot better overclock by whooping on the voltage of the cache (so called uncore to some) . But i dont understand why if they are going to punch the CPU voltage up to 1.4v why not punch up the Ram cache to the same voltages?

Journeyman Geek

@Psycogeek: probably not

cpu cache ram can be sram

Psycogeek

@Boris_yo no man they are made in china, and will blow up and burn your house down. It is part of the light bulb conspiracy. they use old caps that have a short (about 3-5yr) lifespan instead of new wizz bang poly caps that last way way longer.

Ash

what do we call 192.168.1.1 of router.Is it router console ? what is the terminology ?

Journeyman Geek

@Ash: I tend to call it the router settings page

However its not necessarily on 192.168.1.1

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek Really? I bought 25W spiral fluorescent bulb that worked well. I am sure these are made in China too.

Journeyman Geek

you simply have a small web server running on your router that exposes various configurations to you

Gowtham

you can easily have a server running without it, and certainly on a different ip address

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek Like this? buyincoins.com/item/12929.html

Psycogeek

@Boris_yo that style of fins. But the ones i am using are not that finney :-)

Ash

how to traffic shape the network and give less bandwidth for a wifi connected device ?

Journeyman Geek

12:53

pph

thats tricky

Gowtham

@Ash QoS

Journeyman Geek

QOS

Ash

what if there is no such feature in router?

Boris_yo

@Psycogeek This could indicate higher quality of bulb?

Psycogeek

@Boris_yo yes it looks well done. but let me see inside :-) higher powered heavy duty heatsync style emitters (the led part) are often longer lasting. some of the small stuff only lasts 1/8th as long.

Gowtham

12:57

@Ash even the most basic routers have it

Psycogeek

@Boris_yo also the drive ammount, is critical, they can (just like an incan) send a lot of power to an led and make it look really bright, but it will age much faster. So the junction temperature, and the drive current (depending on the emitter build). critical factors to longevity.

Ash

@Gowtham i double checked and there is no such thing as qos. does it go by any other name ?

Braiam

quality of service?

Ash

@Psycogeek is that a santa hat on your gravatar ? thats hilarious :)

ChatBot John Cavil

@Ash [flame war](http://flame-war.urbanup.com/499587) A flame war is a heated argument between two individuals, that results in those involved posting personal attacks on each other during or instead of debating the topic at hand.

Most forums have rules that forbid flaming. This is because the quality of conversation on a forum can be seriously degraded by a flame war. Topics can be "hijacked" by two people who would rather flame each other than discuss the subject of the thread.

Some websites encourage flaming for the purpose of entertainment. One such website is www.flamewarforum.com.
