GNU\colossus: my (GeForce 8200-based) box is experiencing REALLY SLOW networking with the forcedeth driver. the link speed is supposed to be 1gbit, and I get ~30kb/s (yes, that's it - thirty kilobyte per second) to other hosts on my LAN. anyone of you ever experienced such a problem with similar hardware? (Linux 2.6.29, x86_64)
Kano: michaellarabel: could you write finished tests or so on end before showing the menu again? somebody still thinks that the test hangs
Kano: michaellarabel: bandwidth tests: missing depends: nasm
Kano: michaellarabel: http://paste.debian.net/43020/
Kano: michaellarabel: also a remove button could not hurt
Kano: michaellarabel: also your install files are really bad, they do not remove the dir corectly
Kano: also you still need to enter a name when not in batch mode, thats stupid that you need that
Kano: hi
Kano: bkero: did you see that bench: http://global.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=profile&u=chm-7998-19246-32456
Kano: bkero: right side are 2 xeon (Nehalem like i7)
Kano: pretty high result *g*
Kano: michaellarabel: are you here
michaellarabel: what Kano? Am now
Kano: a few things
Kano: /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu that path is not searched for kdesu
Kano: therefore a fallback of sudo was used
Kano: also you dont check if vdrift was installed correctly
Kano: did you get the other things a few h ago
Kano: like nasm missing depend
Kano: maybe it only needs nasm on 32 bit, but it needs it
Kano: for the bandwidth test
Kano: and could you disable that you need to enter a name? in batch mode you dont need that too, a blank name should just use the default like in batch mode
Kano: if i am fored to enter a name i count em, and sometimes i use em twice even if i dont want. thats stupid
Kano: michaellarabel: the lib/kde4 path for kdesu is from the debian lenny backport,but it should be easy to add that
Kano: michaellarabel: do you really need to play with chmod -w in some install scripts?
michaellarabel: I don't recall ever using a chmod -w in an install script
Kano: pts/test-resources/nexuiz/install.sh:chmod -w data
Kano: if you would add a remove funktion you would need to use chmod +w wirst
Kano: or best never use chmod -w
michaellarabel: actually, I think you added that line at some point early on when you were trying to make it work with data files provided by nexuiz Debian packages
Kano: well but that was never needed for that hack
Kano: how about using always a rm -rf dir before you extract a tar?
Kano: in some cases you have got a rm,but no r
michaellarabel: it should automatically be removing it all by pts-core
Kano: well it does not when you try to install a failed install again
Kano: like when i tested bandwith i had to install nasm
Kano: because your dependency check did not add that
Kano: then i installed it manually, ran it, and there are lots of rm errors
petter: god damn. I experimented with screen orientation with fglrx, and now I can't get reset it. X starts and is upsidedown and all black. I can see the mouse and it shows varying cursors over different areas.... resize at window corners, link "hand" at some... but the screen is otherwise completely black.
redeeman: it creates some shit file in /etc
petter: heh :)
petter: yes...
redeeman: so erase it
petter: helpful there =)
petter: the ati db something?
redeeman: yes
redeeman: amdpcsdb or whatever they call it
Kano: michaellarabel: why didnt you add nasm depend to memory-bandwidth
michaellarabel: I didn't get a patch?
Kano: you usually add dependcy things on your own i though
Kano: t
