That makes the encrypted data only as secure as the machine its sitting on. Errr, I don't thin thats right. Even if they have the machine, they still don't have the pass phrase. Is that right? Any crypto gurus out there? Anyway, based on the idea that public key crypto is still Ok for this, I spent a couple of hours and bashed out a little app using libgpgme and that seems to work for me.

[SLUG] Missing hdb
Hi all, We had a power failure a couple of days ago, since then one system has been behaving strangely. It initially refused to boot and asked for a 'System Disk' - the message you get if you elave a non-booting floppy in the drive. This persisted for over a day. The system is alos located remotely from me, so I went there today, amazingly as I walked into the Data Room the boot suddenly started to work and it started up fine - except - it cannot find the second HDD (hdb) where all the data from the intranet (moodle) is stored. It insists that there is no hdb - the mount command fails and fdisk cannot find it either. Unfortunately I did not notice this until I had left, is there anything I can try before I drive back to the system and start to poke around in its innards?

Hi all,
We had a power failure a couple of days ago, since then one system has
been behaving strangely. It initially refused to boot and asked for a
'System Disk' - the message you get if you elave a non-booting floppy in
the drive. This persisted for over a day. The system is alos located
remotely from me, so I went there today, amazingly as I walked into the
Data Room the boot suddenly started to work and it started up fine -
except - it cannot find the second HDD (hdb) where all the data from the
intranet (moodle) is stored. It insists that there is no hdb - the mount
command fails and fdisk cannot find it either.
Unfortunately I did not notice this until I had left, is there anything
I can try before I drive back to the system and start to poke around in
its innards? (It is at work and I am on holidays but have remote access)

Sounds like it. Is this what you get from boot (dmesg)?
You can run a SMART test with smartctl -t test-name. Read its
manual carefully
to decide which test you want.
Apparently smartctl managed to recover a disk with bad blocks for me.
Do you have smartd running on this system?
Good luck,

The free ones are more or less awful depending on you needs. Also the for-munnie charges you for upgrades. I'll get urls if you're interested, need to search. Did 3 months research the paid the munnie. They also offer a free version, but every page is watermarked. Good to test and get a feel for.

Re: [SLUG] Driver query
I might sit down and give it another go. I'd love to get it working, as the wife hogs the PVR and anything I tape gets removed rather quickly which is most annoying. I managed to get the drivers to work and had the card working under X windows. BUt mythtv was being a pain and would not compile. Infact doing the qmake did nothing at all.

I don't think they are. I know that the linuxtv.org http://linuxtv.orgsource has merged in to the recent kernel patches. About to embark on playing around with one and all the howtos I have found are out dated, so was wanting to confirm if the process about the driver can be skipped. DVICO for me doesn't work for twinhan cards. So becareful that you are not trying to use wrong drivers. if your card is Twinhan then you should do is recompile with dvb-t and saa7 also btxxx, and bttv-dsp. I think. I was thinking of trying to use a recent version of Kubuntu just for the sake of it, as I want to confirm if Mythtv is remotely usefull to me after all, and if so, should i get some new hardware to run it. etc. They definitly ARE in the kernel: Linux tigger 2.6.11-smp #4 SMP Sat Jul 30 11:50:31 WST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux BUT I have plus, lite and old cards. The old cards did not work. Spelunking Pascoes stuff showed the old cards uning the SAME tuner as the plus. I edited drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-cards.c case CX88_BOARD_DVICO_FUSIONHDTV_DVB_T1: /* GPIO0:0 is hooked to mt352 reset pin */ cx_set(MO_GP0_IO, 0x0101); cx_clear(MO_GP0_IO, 0x0001); msleep(1); cx_set(MO_GP0_IO, 0x0101); core-pll_addr = 0x61; core-pll_desc = dvb_pll_thomson_dtt7579; //jam core-pll_desc = dvb_pll_lg_z201; break; And everything works. I've not looked at any newer kernels than .11 to see if it's fixed. Maybe only Oz versions of the old card are in existance. My experience on a few systems is that the DVICO card will not do HDTV. P4-3G GT6600 graphics nearly there, but still not OK. SD is fine.
