@bob actual docs ;p

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#dhcpcd

Dave

+ wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/netctl

And i was wrong dhcpcd is the default client archlinux uses which explains why /sbin/dhclient was missing.

(read this from documentation, with my eyeballs from Journeyman's link)

qasdfdsaq

ifconfig is still my lart of choice

Dave

can you send over that python ipv6 dns server app to me, pretty please

Journeyman Geek

@qasdfdsaq I THINK some distros dropped it completely

@bob protip. Anyone who documents linux with a video is shit at documentation.

Dave

@JourneymanGeek you can compile it from here gnu.org/software/inetutils @ifconfig

Journeyman Geek

12:08 AM

@Dave I consider custom compiling applications to be a terrible idea unless absolutely necessary

Dave

not i.. i dont always like every library dependency for other functionality compiled into my executable that's not needed for applications that are installed.. so i like to compile from source..

Journeyman Geek

@Dave Its my opinion but its bad from a maintainance standpoint

Dave

True true.. But if you were into compiling from source, you'd probably use gentoo instead if you wanted that customization. im total Linux from Scratch -- at least most people that do would rather use gentoo

Other benefit is cpu optimizations

thats about it.

Journeyman Geek

and maintain everything? ;p

Dave

like -funroll-loops etc

Agreed thats annoying.

Hello, related to: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/27444929#27444929 and this question.

qasdfdsaq

@JourneymanGeek None that I've come across yet...

Dave

@SolidSnake: I actually do not know that answer.

SolidSnake

@JourneymanGeek @qasdfdsaq Today I was asking about making CentOs reading the Raid array.
I dropped to the terminal and `modprobe raid1`. No errors. `modprobe md` instead gives `module md not found` and CenOs still seeing the partitioned array as one GPT partition table.

Any other hints?

Dave

That sounds like a missing kernel module

SolidSnake

@Dave Yes. I don't get which one! :/

bob

12:19 AM

GUYS!!!

dave and journey! I got it!

his video is deprecated

Dave

lsmod will give you a clue of which filesystem modules are loaded /proc/filesystems will tell you which filesystems your kernel supports

based off that that, that should hint which ones you may be missing.

bob

thanks for the link btw... I havn't see that before

do you want to know (for your knowledge) what was the answer?

Journeyman Geek

@SolidSnake try ... mdraid

@bob if you're going to use arch, get familiar with their docs

I use them a lot and I don't even use arch

Dave

oh module md not found.. god im blind

bob

haha yea I fould it was too difficult to follow them and rather watch a video but its not up to date so

Bob

12:23 AM

@allquixotic are you around?

SolidSnake

@JourneymanGeek modprobe mdraid not working

Journeyman Geek

hm

Bob

Or, actually, anyone else with an Android phone, willing to install Firefox, and with a wired headset.

Oh, and a Bugzilla/Mozilla account.

Journeyman Geek

(also, just to remind folk, we typically don't do live support here)

Dave

@JourneymanGeek: He doesnt have md module compiled with his kernel.

Journeyman Geek

12:23 AM

@Dave hm

Dave

not sure where it's @ in make menuconfig though

Journeyman Geek

Did I mention i hate custom compiling things?

Yes. I. Did ;p

Dave

modprobe md instead gives module md not found

qasdfdsaq

Bob

So, yea. If there's anyone who matches those above - mind helping me test/confirm a bug?

qasdfdsaq

12:24 AM

Oops wrong window

Bob

Or even without the Mozilla account.

Dave

@Bob, i would but im not @ home.. about to head home though.

@SolidSnake : that modprobe md could be a false positive as well if it wasnt compiled as a module but directly in the kernel.

SolidSnake

@Dave How can that be possible if CentOs can create RAID within the installation process.

Dave

what i just said^

anyhow, heading home. wife is making me a sandwich and she wants me to eat it.

SolidSnake

Sorry. Pushed send just in the same time you posted. The thing is that I cannot see `/dev/md0` in devices (while the single physical HDDs) are visible.
If booting with GParted live gparted sees the RAIDS.

@JourneymanGeek Sorry man. Better place to look for? IRC #centos?

Journeyman Geek

12:31 AM

Typically I'd suggest the main site

SolidSnake

@JourneymanGeek Ok. I will try to look on the forums. Thanks in any case.

Journeyman Geek

(for one thing, people who do that, do that a lot, and it slightly annoyed the regulars. On the other hand, we have situations like this where 2-3 people do it. If its not ok on the main site, it could be ok here. Otherwise...)

qasdfdsaq

@SolidSnake It's modprobe raid1

Journeyman Geek

also

wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1

have you read the docs?

qasdfdsaq

I'm sure I linked him the docs 12 hours ago

Though I linked ones for CentOS 5

SolidSnake

12:38 AM

@JourneymanGeek @qasdfdsaq Yep. The process of creating the arrays were carried on with Gparted live cd and not CentOs livecd following http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6514/1/ and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Software_RAID_and_LVM#Prepare_the_hard_drives

I have two RAID arrays, md0 and md1. md1 is raid10 with LVM on top. The volumes I created on top of it `lvcreate` are seen by CentOS

Journeyman Geek

so your raid drivers are probably there?

(I donno, I don't use raid. I think its a silly idea for my use case)

qasdfdsaq

I guess lsmod and dmesg | grep -i raid would tell you something

Journeyman Geek

which is the boot drive?

qasdfdsaq

Wait, how is it seeing volumes on the RAID when it can't see the RAID

SolidSnake

@JourneymanGeek I don't know if the abstraction layer of LVM takes care of that. The problem is (and that applies even to the guide you linked -- `mount /dev/md_`) I do not have mdX devices in /dev.

The only thing the bothers me is that in the how to they specifically talk about **partitionable** RAID. I did not created partitionable RAID (if it's just to name them like mdX_dX. It's enough to make them partitionable)

Journeyman Geek

12:45 AM

naw

qasdfdsaq

Any RAID is partitionable

Journeyman Geek

/boot typically cannot be in a soft raid or LVM iirc

qasdfdsaq

It can be used in SoftRAID fine

allquixotic

@Bob am now

Journeyman Geek

(I think I better butt out. I clearly don't know shit about raid ;p

allquixotic

12:47 AM

@Dave I did no such thing

qasdfdsaq

@JourneymanGeek It's "unsupported" on many distros, and it's only RAID-1 (and sometimes RAID-Z) that's supported.

Bob

@allquixotic Any chance you could help me test the Fx on Android thing?

qasdfdsaq

Same for all OSs really, and the reason is fairly simple - /boot is read-only during boot.

Bob

The recommended setup for root-on-ZFS involves creating a mirror mdraid volume for /boot

(of course I just went a completely different path with UEFI and ignored GRUB entirely)

qasdfdsaq

The only OS I've used that supports booting from anything other than software-RAID-1 out of the box is probably Solaris

All my servers are booting from soft-RAID-1 though

allquixotic

12:51 AM

@Bob I don't have easy access to an android device

qasdfdsaq

Bob needs access to an Android device?

allquixotic

I could test it on Bluestacks but that's about it

Bob

Ah :\

Needs to have headset controls so an emulator is probably out :\

qasdfdsaq

I have a few

allquixotic

hmm

qasdfdsaq

12:52 AM

And I have many headset controls too

allquixotic

I'll dig around

Bob

28 mins ago, by Bob

Or, actually, anyone else with an Android phone, willing to install Firefox, and with a wired headset.

Well, if @qasdfdsaq is willing to help :)

qasdfdsaq

Oh I already have Firefox installed

SolidSnake

`lsmod` is correctly displaying raid1 module. `dmesg | grep -i raid` shows something like: raid0 personality registered for level 0 [...] until raid 6. Then I have md/raid10:md126 active with 4 out 4 devices
md/raid1;md127 active with 4 out of 4 mirrors.

Thos last two lines seems to resemble my arrays...

Bob

Just wanted to quickly test a bug.

SolidSnake

12:53 AM

(Why I'm not formatting right the inline code o.O)

qasdfdsaq

@SolidSnake So they're there, just not in /dev/

@Bob Go on

I would have offered earlier, but I haven't really been paying attention since attractive woman relaxing. outdoor shot in sand - Stock image appeared on my screen

bob

hey what linux environment are you guys using?

desktop env*

SolidSnake

@qasdfdsaq Sorry man how can I find them?

bob

KDE?

qasdfdsaq

@SolidSnake I dunno, depends what you're looking for and why?

Bob

12:57 AM

@qasdfdsaq Ok, so. The problem is Firefox swallows media play/pause button presses.

I've already tested. I just wanted confirmation and preferably someone else commenting on the bug report.

This seems to occur both via Bluetooth and with a wired headset. I'm focusing on the wired headset case.

But having tests for BT would be great too if it's not too much trouble.

qasdfdsaq

I should probably update FF too

Bob

So: start playing music. via Spotify, whatever.

Play/pause should work.

qasdfdsaq

Yeah I have BT controls on my BT headset and also BT LE controls on my "smart"watch

Bob

Open Firefox. Just sit on some webpage.

Play/pause stops working.

Go to any other app, homescreen, etc. Play/pause works again.

Volume always works, even inside FF.

That's my observed behaviour. Would appreciate it if you could test that.

qasdfdsaq

Well my browser history in Firefox looks dodgy

Bob

1:00 AM

lol

Journeyman Geek

`dmesg | grep -i raid` shows something like: raid0 personality registered for level 0 [...] until raid 6. Then I have md/raid10:md126 active with 4 out 4 devices
    md/raid1;md127 active with 4 out of 4 mirrors.

Bob

The relevant bug report is bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730192

Journeyman Geek

@SolidSnake needs to be a line on its own

Bob

If you happen to have a BMO account, you could post the confirmation there. If not, let me know and I'll just say I got someone else to test and confirm...

qasdfdsaq

I don't know what a BMO account is

Bob

1:02 AM

@qasdfdsaq sorry, bugzilla.mozilla.org :P

Journeyman Geek

@qasdfdsaq 2 lines up and to the right....

SolidSnake

@qasdfdsaq The thing is that the raid1 (md0 on Gparted LiveCD and md127 apparently here on CentOs) should be partitioned in three partitions that on GpartedCD are seen correctly (md0p1 ...). Here CentOs in the GUI jus shows a single GPT Partition Table (imgur.com/eQ4FEoZ)

qasdfdsaq

And that would be a no

OK so confirmed it does exactly as you describe with wired headset. Anytime firefox window is active, play/pause on the headset doesn't work

Any time it's backgrounded, hidden, behind lockscreen, etc. it works fine. Volume keys always works

Bob

@qasdfdsaq Great. Thanks.

qasdfdsaq

My BT-LE controls on my smartwatch still work while in Firefox though, but I believe there's some weird intermediary listener in play there

Bob

1:03 AM

Mind if I link here in the bug report?

qasdfdsaq

Sure >_>

Bob

@qasdfdsaq Yea, my Pebble works too, but not my speakers proper.

But the Pebble app lets me set the music player to control, so I suspect it's passing through that and not registering as a standard keypress.

1:08 AM

Now just to figure out how to put my headset in pairing mode

SolidSnake

@qasdfdsaq There's no /dev/md .

qasdfdsaq

Well that was easy, literally do nothing.

As in, turn it on, and after a while it starts talking to you and says "Pairing mode on. Search for the headset from the bluetooth device. Enter 0000 if prompted for a PIN"

@Bob: Confirmed exact same behaviour via standard Bluetooth headset.

Incidentally, the call/redial button does work

Bob

Thanks!

qasdfdsaq

So does holding down the call button to get voice commands/S-Voice. but I suspect that functionality is going through the HSP not the AVRCP profile.

Bob

@qasdfdsaq For actually making a phone call? Or does it do the search thing?

qasdfdsaq

1:12 AM

Both. Pressing call brings up the dialler and calls the last dialled number. Holding call goes to S-Voice/Search

Basically standard Bluetooth headset behaviour

Bob

@qasdfdsaq The FF bug actually has nothing to do with AVRCP. It's intercepting (and swallowing) standard Android keypresses.

qasdfdsaq

Also, even going to task switcher is enough to get the contrls working again.

Bob

@qasdfdsaq Interesting. I wonder if that falls under KEYCODE_SEARCH (which FF explicitly ignores)

SolidSnake

@qasdfdsaq That was for me?

qasdfdsaq

Yeah but I suspect the AVRCP stack just ends up sending Android keypresses.

@SolidSnake No

SolidSnake

1:14 AM

@qasdfdsaq Sry. :S

Bob

@qasdfdsaq Yea, bringing up the keyboard works too. I'm near 100% sure of why it's happening now. Just gotta test (need *nix or OS X to build) and convince the Mozilla guy there.

@qasdfdsaq Yup, seems like it.

... :S

Hm. There's a KEYCODE_CALL. Wonder why that works :S

> How to Remove Silicone Grease
A common need that arises for consumers is removing silicone grease. The following is a proven method to remove old grease that needs to be reapplied:

Step 1 – Mix 1/8 cup of mild dishwasher detergent into a half gallon of hot (not boiling) water.

OK I know this isn't going to work for my bluetooth headset already.

Bob

1:18 AM

I'd just go with isopropanol.

Removes just about everything liquid.

qasdfdsaq

I'm pretty sure I've tried that before

(Unsuccessfully)

I'd try screen wipes

Bob

Hm... I suppose silicone grease isn't really liquid.

Also, as it turns out my carpet is also covered in silicone grease. It's actually quite effective against fleas.

If I want to access that interface from a C/C++ app, what docs should I be looking at?

Hmmmm... that seems workable. How might I register the device in the first place? I wouldn't be surprised if the /dev/ device isn't created until I manually set a proper mode somewhere.
