Swobodin v Brně

Crazy talk on Gtalk
Synopsis
Kaiser (from Paris) has screwed his Fedora box up, I (from Tunis) was helping him to save his data, waiting for Fedora Core 5 release (which occured last monday).
Swobodin: look at your rc.sysinit
Swobodin: there’s a “udev” string
Swobodin: that loads the network interface
Swobodin: see the lines where it’s written “network”
Swobodin: a script to load network interface
Swobodin: comment’em all
Swobodin: for the moment, you only need to access to your partition
Swobodin: and burn your data
Swobodin: coz you will reformat the X partition
 (…)
Kaiser: first of all, i’ll try rc.sysinit
Kaiser: there’re 100 lines to comments ??
Swobodin: do it with vim
Swobodin: i mean
Swobodin: for example, line to start is “n”
Swobodin: line to end is “p”
Swobodin: :n,ps/^/\#/g
Swobodin: eg:
Swobodin: :4,15s/^/\#/g
Swobodin: ok?
Kaiser: i’ll try
Kaiser: if i doesn’t work you won’t have roquefort
Swobodin: it works
Swobodin: i do it everyday
Kaiser: no, not commenting method : the whole operation
Swobodin: well, comment the lines, and reboot
Kaiser: if something happen, i’ll … no, i won’t get back to tunisia … 3andek zhar
Kaiser: hi
Kaiser: he o !!
Kaiser: linux started
Kaiser: but
Kaiser: usb doesn’t work
(some lines later …)
Swobodin: did you comment all udev lines??
Swobodin: no, just the network
Swobodin: let audio and storage
Kaiser: network, storage, audio
Kaiser: no, i think it’s better like that
Swobodin: no
Swobodin: just network
Swobodin: you see the echo -n “network”?
Swobodin: some lines before, a comment starts
Swobodin: network
Swobodin: comment from the comment to the echo
Swobodin: not everything
Swobodin: you got it?
Kaiser: yes
Kaiser: and how i uncomment with a line
Kaiser: :x,ys/^/\/g
