^ that was 2/2. See, I'm all #confuzzled by now. :-/

@mk well, so much for that nice idea: querying the drive with 'hdparm -r' it tells me 'readonly' is *not* set. Then how come e2fsck cannot actually write its repairs (and is even ignorant of that fact)?? More and more #confuzzled: I have never seen this behavior before!

I just got a phone call from Mumbay - my former host there a few years ago - actually called from his mobile, but using an internet application so it appeared to come for North Carolina #confuzzled :)

and now that I've had #dinner at lunch time (or was it the other way round?) I find myself still awake (and happily hacking) at 05:30 - I think my sense of time is somewhat #confuzzled! !tzaf and !tzag - pick the one you think applies !fediverse !fediverso :D

@mk This morning, with more entries in the cron log (and even the system log) I'm starting to notice some odd patterns... 1) after ONE manual ntpdate update 23:24 , I am seeing THREE updates about an hour later (all at the same time 00:30) in syslog - but only TWO entries in the cron log - after that, no more entries. 2) Meanwhile, at 23:02 (BEFORE the automated ntpdate) an EXTRA crond was started, while the old one apparently continued running. 3) From then on, the automated updatedb is successful for the NEW crond while the old crond (not surprisingly) encounters a locked mlocate.db file. Both crond's do ONE ntpd update at 00:30 - it's not clear where the third one (recorded in syslog) at the same time came fery hour one successful and one failed updatedb - but nothing else (no ntpdate) is recorded in the log... #nas #cron #confuzzled
-
well, I'm stumped. I added two lines too root's crontab (one to run updatedb at boot time, one to run it daily) but there's no sign this is actually happening. There's also no log that records anything of cron; I even tried to enable Syslog via /usr/builtin/etc/log/log.conf but I see no /var/log/syslog appearing. If I run the 'updatedb' command manually I can tell it has run because the timestamp of the database changes - this also doesn't happen after reboot, so it looks like the job isn't running at all. But why?? #confuzzled !linux

@mbjunior ??? what do you mean or refer to? #confuzzled

after traveling up an down to Groningen for so many months, being in Amsterdam mostly during the weekends, I now feel it's weekend when I am at home. :( what day is it? #confuzzled

!linux !debian is there anything I can do to make debian recognize a brand-new USB3 thumb? It's recognized without a hitch on Dennis (LMDE) and not at all on Nikola (Deb Jessie); kernel used on Nikola is not teh latest (which doesn't work) but still newer than that on Dennis. #confuzzled #annoyed this doesn't make things easy...

/me is #confuzzled: the already somewhat 'suspect' external drive (suspect because its twin sister died recently) caused File Manager (Thunar) to crash an hour or so ago - and it was remounted read-only. But fschk found nothing wrong, and after reboot it's mounted and writeable... So: more suspect even than it was. But what could have happened? Anyone? !debian !linux

@mk first, an intermediate: try to REinstall virtualbox... no luck with that. So, UNinstall (this also takes virtualbox-qt and virtualbox-dkms with it) and REinstall by selecting *-dkms, which then wants the other two as well. The process first tries to STOP kernel modules and restart them - but that step FAILs; then it runs virtualbox-dkms (just as I did) - seemingly it does the same, and NO vboxdrv appears in /etc/init.d/ ... but it finalizes with a stop kernel modules and start kernel modules and this time that step succeeds! Sure enough, I no longer get an error message when starting VirtualBox, and a VM *can* now be started. #phew but where is vboxdrv now??? very #confuzzled

creating a new bank account. Bank wants a copy of my identification (OK) - identity card, passport... - and in a note adds they want a copy of "from and back" of the identification. ??? what front and back of a passport? there's only one relevant page in there (inside). sent them a mail from their contact form... #confuzzled #banking
-
@fsf #confuzzled: your first link leads to a contribution form (not a personal page), the second leads to instructions for how to create a page - what's to giggle? did something go wrong?
-
@mcscx that puzzles me as well... it's cheese consumed per capita apparently. Maybe we're number 12 or so ;-) Interesting to see Estonia ans Lithuania in the top 10, as well as Iceland. The 0 for China also doesn't ring true - a matter of definition, maybe? or just lack of data? still, I'm #confuzzled
-
@lnxw48 plausible - except I've never seen mustard do that; instead, it would throw an error and allow you to try to repost. In this case it's just one tap and there are two messages - as opposed to none. ??? #confuzzled

weird problem with Firefox (on LMDE): menu bar activated, two windows. In teh "first" window, everything works. In the "second" window (I don't remember which one was actually *created* first) menu bar (key or mouse), menu button, right-click menu and scroll wheel all do not work at all. Nothing found searching. Finally, from the first window I right-click on a link and choose 'Open in new window'. In *that* window everything works, too. So I end up dragging all tabs from the 2nd window to the 3rd window - and now everything works as normal. [BUG] #bug #confuzzled

@gregoriosw if I go there I end up at domains4you\.com #confuzzled

@atarifrosch hmm, I don't see it in my Synaptic - could I already have it?? They mention a version for stable but I'm on testing so my version number is higher, too. #confuzzled

*sigh* I still haven't figured out just how the #NAS manages to limit SSH login to root and admin; the sshd_config file has the usual command to allow root - but nothing about allowing another user or denying other users - yet ssh does reject another user login but not admin ??? #confuzzled #imustbemissingsomething #damnedright

well, I found a little file with a description of my little flash drive (including 'USB1" and its UUID) but I cannot find udev or a script that mounts the drive on USB1 instead of what's in fstab - and IO haven't found an alternative fstab either. time I looked up muy #hammock - I'm not going to make much progress with this any more today... #NAS #confuzzled
-
@mcscx yes! odd though, because the link NOW leads to a different page! (where I cannot see a description and there is no "remote join" button like I saw at my first attempt!) #somethingchangedwhileiwasaway #confuzzled
-
@mk Gigolo on Nikola, that is; on Marie it's even weirder: the NAS appears under "Network" as a machine by its old name, and as a media server by its new name #confuzzled
-
@jrobb then what are they doing with icebuckets? still #confuzzled
-
@mcscx yes I did - but... "usual short brizzl sound"??? now I'm #confuzzled. I *never* hear any sound when connecting a power cable. Just what is supposed to make that sound? And what about other things running off the same mains power connection (like this computer which doesn't seem to have any problems)?
-
@mcnalu :) like word inventions go: it just popped out one day - and stuck. usually used with a hashtag, so one can collect #confuzzled dents :D
-
made more tweaks in my theme - much better now - but defining a (GTK) theme is still mostly a black art to me... #trialanderrortheming. also, sometimes (but not always) when I reload a theme, ALL open terminal windows are shrunk by one "unit", sometime horizontally, sometime vertically... #confuzzled

@inscius what do Van Gogh's Potato Eaters have to do with living in NL? #confuzzled
-
@drak thermometer says it's hot (warm, rather), body says it's not :-( still #confuzzled

can someone explain why my brain keeps insisting it's Sunday today? #confuzzled
