17:31:16 *** yuriy has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
19:24:32 <dseomn> wolfboy22: if you want to finish cobalt stuff tonight, but I'm not online yet, you can start with making your home dir 711 and testing userdir, then installing php
19:24:51 <dseomn> I'm going to reboot now to change some hardware configuration, dunno how long it'll take
19:25:11 *** dseomn has quit ("Leaving.")
19:40:32 *** dseomn (n=dseomn@dyn-129-64-172-215.dorm.brandeis.edu) has joined #brancog
19:41:16 * dseomn really hopes removing the zip drive fixes the problems with the dvd drive (on the same IDE controller)
19:42:00 <dseomn> ugh, still not working
20:14:55 <SeveredCross> What issue(s) are you having?
20:15:18 <dseomn> SeveredCross: I can't copy some CDs
20:15:37 <SeveredCross> Any particular errors? (dmesg, etc.)
20:15:44 <dseomn> cdrdao (using multiple frontends and the cli) gets to 19MiB, then hangs
20:15:59 <dseomn> these errors alternating many times:
20:16:01 <dseomn> [ 342.593336] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
20:16:01 <dseomn> [ 342.593342] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0
20:16:06 <dseomn> (from dmesg)
20:16:20 <SeveredCross> I'm assuming you've made sure that all the cables are seated properly.
20:16:34 <dseomn> yeah
20:16:53 <dseomn> I thought it was an old zip drive on the same controller at first so I removed it, and I checked the cables while I was in there
20:17:43 <SeveredCross> Those sector/block values don't make much sense either.
20:17:51 <dseomn> yeah, they do
20:17:55 <dseomn> 0 is the TOC
20:18:21 <dseomn> AFAIK, cdrdao starts to read data before the toc
20:18:38 <dseomn> no wait, that doesn't make sense
20:18:50 <dseomn> it would over-read if the CD were too small if it did that
20:20:37 <SeveredCross> Yeah, that seems silly.
20:20:46 <SeveredCross> And the lead-in wouldn't be 19 MiB, at least I don't think it would.
20:21:58 <dseomn> yeah, it's a pretty weird error, considering it stops in the same place on different discs
20:22:29 <dseomn> I'm going to try booting an older kernel and a live cd some time to see if those work
20:23:45 <dgr8bob> dseomn: have you swapped out the drive?
20:24:02 <dseomn> dgr8bob: nope, I don't have one to swap it out with
20:24:17 <dseomn> I'll probably grab one from the cog closet tomorrow though
20:30:21 <dgr8bob> how can you not have anything with another optical drive to use? heck, most days the dead hardware table has a few
20:30:53 <dseomn> I have a laptop with a drive, but it's the wrong connector and form factor
20:30:55 *** SeveredCross has quit ("Lost terminal")
20:31:25 <dseomn> and I'm more interested in getting it fixed on my desktop than actually getting these particular CDs copied
20:56:35 *** SeveredCross (i=[U2FsdGV@conch.unet.brandeis.edu) has joined #brancog
21:06:03 <dseomn> dgr8bob: who gets mail for hostmaster?
21:06:16 <dseomn> I tried using ldap, but it didn't give me as much info as from work
21:33:38 <dgr8bob> dseomn: I do. not sure who else off the top of my head
21:34:07 <dseomn> dgr8bob: ok, cool
21:34:22 <dseomn> I decided to go for the free certs, at least for now
21:34:44 <dseomn> there really isn't anything that important that needs better certs on that hostname
21:35:24 <dseomn> and they emailed hostmaster to ask if I'm supposed to be able to get certs for cog.b.e
