Time Nick Message 00:01 zsoltisaw geez, I pinged more thatn an hour ago 00:08 ShadowNinja sfan is idling for 2 h, 25 min, 34 sec (since 2014-02-12 21:42:32 UTC) 00:22 MichaelRpdx arb - how long have you been running your Arch based minetest? 00:31 Megaf Help, my server is fucked up again 00:31 Megaf minetest is fucking fragile! 00:32 Megaf I had a Kernel Panic so my sserver restarted 00:32 Megaf I attempted to start the minetest server again 00:32 Megaf it coplained about two corrompted files, as it did before 00:32 Megaf As I did before, I deleted those two files 00:33 VanessaE now 00:33 VanessaE rather than sign off 00:33 Megaf map_meta.txt and env_meta.txt 00:33 VanessaE how about a crash report of it? 00:33 VanessaE um 00:33 Megaf then, as before I tried to start it again without these two files 00:33 Megaf it didnt start 00:34 VanessaE if you panicked, and your system trashed files that are not normally written to all that often, you have a problem with your system, not minetest 00:34 Megaf so, as someone here said, I got the en_meta from another world and place it there 00:34 VanessaE so why didn't it start? 00:34 VanessaE you can't erase the map_meta.txt 00:34 VanessaE that's your flags, seed, etc. 00:34 VanessaE you delete that and you're fucked 9 ways to sunday 00:35 Megaf then, it complained about a corromped user 00:35 VanessaE do you have backups? 00:35 Megaf so I moved that user file away 00:36 Megaf and now it gets stuck at "Loading user data" 00:36 VanessaE um 00:36 VanessaE that was a yes-or-no question... 00:36 Megaf I mean 00:36 Megaf 22:16:37: INFO[main]: Server: Loading players 00:36 VanessaE do you or don't you keep backups? 00:36 Megaf stuck at this point 00:38 * VanessaE waits for answers to her questions 00:40 VanessaE ... 00:40 Megaf my computer crashed again 00:40 Megaf oh dear 00:41 VanessaE it's customary, megaf, to answer people's questions (crashes or not :P ) 00:41 VanessaE did you get a debug.txt output of the last failed start up, and do you keep backups of your server data? 00:41 Megaf yes I have a backup VanessaE 00:41 VanessaE how old? 00:41 VanessaE and does it cover player files and world files, or just the map? 00:41 Megaf I learned the hard way to make backups 00:41 Megaf entire minetest folder 00:42 Megaf I backup it up every time I do git pull 00:42 VanessaE ehm 00:42 VanessaE well first thing you need to do is restore that map_meta.txt 00:42 VanessaE now. 00:42 Megaf ok 00:42 VanessaE you blow that away and your map is guaranteed to get screwed up. 00:43 VanessaE env_meta.txt is a different matter. you can usually just re-create that one from any random working example (or I think just delete it entirely) and you're fine 00:43 VanessaE for the loading players problem, move the whole players folder out of minetest's reach. 00:44 VanessaE force it to recreate it. then copy the files back in in batches, say 5 letters-of-the-alphabet at a time 00:44 VanessaE A-E, F-J, etc. 00:44 VanessaE restart the server between batches and keep doing that until it stops working, to narrow your search for the bad player file. 00:45 VanessaE but it sounds to me like you hosed your filesystem with that kernel panic 00:45 Megaf what about the screwed player? 00:45 VanessaE and if that's the case, you can't do anything about it but restore completely from backups 00:45 VanessaE and your backups had better be on external/separate media 00:46 Megaf they are in the same media, but its a heatly tar.gz 00:46 VanessaE first thing's first, check the integrity of your filesystem 00:46 VanessaE (fsck or some gui app from a boot USB stick) 00:46 VanessaE make absolutely sure nothing's fucked up 00:47 Megaf VanessaE: my FS its ok 00:47 Megaf its XFS 00:47 VanessaE oh G*d 00:47 VanessaE you're screwed. 00:47 Megaf I know 00:47 Megaf screwed for speed sake 00:48 VanessaE XFS does NOT handle these kinds of screwups gracefully at all. 00:48 Megaf VanessaE: well, server is up without the players files 00:48 VanessaE there's a reason I stopped using it. of course that was a damned long time ago, maybe now they're not so sensitive. 00:48 Megaf lets put players back 5 by 5? 00:48 VanessaE ok now you have to begin restoring them. copy them in small batches, 5 letters of the alpha at a time 00:49 VanessaE copy - restart - check for errors - repeat 00:49 VanessaE when it finally dies, you have a small lettered range to skim for bad files 00:50 * ShadowNinja is reading about SConstruct. 00:53 ShadowNinja So far SCons looks great. It's a build system, like CMake. But it has a proper programing language (Python) as the configuration syntax. 00:54 Megaf oh dear 00:54 Megaf trouble already 00:54 ShadowNinja I'm able to build a project with two source files easily with one line of Python. 00:54 Megaf isnt there another way to find the screwd players? 00:54 Megaf in the past I would just see the 0 KB player files 00:56 Megaf just found a good way to see that 00:56 Megaf unkown file type players files are messed up 00:57 VanessaE no, there's really no other way, megaf 00:58 VanessaE you just have to find the bad file the slow way 00:58 VanessaE if a file is sufficiently, but subtly corrupted, the server won't be able to tell 00:58 VanessaE that's the problem 00:58 VanessaE sorta like sending a corrupted webpage 00:58 VanessaE how's the server gonna know? 00:59 VanessaE only a client could tell if a webpage is corrupt, the server merely sends it. 00:59 VanessaE (well in the old days that was true anyway) 01:05 paramat hmmmmm, improved mod version of indev floatlands https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8560 01:32 NekoGloop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObEA27miF6I 01:46 VanessaE anyone want some snow? 01:47 VanessaE got too damn much of it here 01:49 * paramat wants snow in England 01:56 us_0gb Thankfully the snow is receding here. The radio people keep hosting these "pray for snow" parties, but I want no part of that. 01:57 VanessaE whoever is praying for snow, I'd like to kick their ass(es). 01:59 us_0gb I would if I thought their prayers were having any effect. 02:00 VanessaE I wouldn't mind so much if not for the fact that I live at the bottom of a hill and my car does not have any winter equipment 02:01 us_0gb At least you have a car. I'm a pedestrian having to wade through this junk. 02:03 NekoGloop I want more snow 02:04 NekoGloop because that means I have a legitimate reason to stay the fuck at home 02:05 VanessaE well come here and take all this ugly white shit that you want 02:05 MichaelRpdx Megaf How many player files do you have? 02:05 VanessaE it's quite pretty. once. 02:05 VanessaE but as soon as I have to get OUT in it, I hate it. 02:11 * NekoGloopMkII puts a white fluffy kitty on VanessaE's lap 02:11 VanessaE I could use a few kittens right about now 02:11 * VanessaE is really depressed 02:13 NekoGloopMkII aaaaaagh my damn knee hurts :< 02:58 zsoltisaw hey all! Who would like to help with dusting off Moontest? 03:12 zsoltisaw anyone? 04:41 us_0gb VanessaE: What's wrong? Also, . 04:45 NekoGloopMkIII You want out? NO. 05:46 VanessaE damn power just went out for a bit 05:46 VanessaE snow is killing us here 05:47 VanessaE what's worse is my UPS didn't do its job at all 05:48 VanessaE stupid thing's nothing but a glorified power conditioner now, batteries have no current-sourcing ability 06:19 whmark Can anyone here help with modding? I have a simple question and #minetest-mods is dead 06:22 whmark I've added a new plant and everything works in single player but you can't plant the seeds in multiplayer. I've used most of the code from farming so I don't know what the problem is 06:27 sfan5 whmark: it would be useful if you would post the code of your mod 06:28 whmark sure hold on, the code was just thrown together so nevermind that 06:29 whmark http://pastebin.com/miYGWNCB 06:30 sfan5 hm 06:31 sfan5 you could add some debug output where it return's out of place_seed 06:31 sfan5 I need to go now 06:31 sfan5 bye 06:31 whmark ok thanks 06:32 khonkhortisan where it return is out of 06:35 VanessaE and...power went out again...yay 06:39 MichaelRpdx I'm running my game and I see the seed value in the display, but it doesn't match the seed value in map_meta. 06:40 MichaelRpdx Should I: a) curse, b) accept the difference, c) change map_meta to match what I have on display, d) find better things to obsess over 06:57 whmark I fixed the problem. The server had a mod 'farming' (not default) installed and somehow that messed it up. I noticed that it wasn't loaded on the singleplayer world so I deactivated it and it works :D 08:14 grondilu do you guys know about #seedofandromeda? Could minetest do something like that? 09:43 Megaf Good morning 10:17 Megaf Hello Pony John 10:26 reactor hell.o 10:36 julienrat Hi every body 10:36 julienrat is there a way to export from mine test to STL format ? 10:53 Megaf I have a list of files that I want to copy to other place, whats the cp command would look like then? 11:05 reactor megaf, cp file1 file2 ... filen place 11:07 Megaf well, I mean, really a list, list.txt 11:07 Megaf one below another 11:07 Megaf well, I found a solution already, thanks anyway 11:07 Megaf cp `cat list.txt` location/ 11:12 reactor apparently, yes 12:28 Megaf My server is finally back 12:28 Megaf Im glad I use JFS 12:31 Megaf john_minetest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFS_%28file_system%29 12:33 Megaf Its a damn good and mature file system 12:33 Megaf "According to reviews and benchmarks of the available filesystems for Linux, JFS is fast and reliable, with consistently good performance under different kinds of load, contrary to other filesystems that seem to perform better under particular usage patterns, for instance with small or large files. Another characteristic often mentioned, is that it's light and efficient with available system resources and 12:33 Megaf even heavy disk activity is realized with low CPU usage. Especially for databases which need synchronous writes to survive a hardware crash, JFS with external journal seems to be the best option." 12:34 Megaf I've been using it for years now 12:38 Megaf its something different 12:38 Megaf its the way it works 12:38 Megaf !up megaf.no-ip.info 30003 12:38 MinetestBot megaf.no-ip.info:30003 is up (594ms) 13:38 tomreyn quite the latency - embedded system? 13:42 tomreyn oh .com.br, and the querying system is - I assume - a host1free vps, then it's fine. 13:51 sfan5 Megaf: how about btrfs? 13:55 Hirato__ it kills fire corruption 13:55 Hirato__ er... well damn, I guess this pipe got corrupted :M 13:56 * sfan5 puts a water pipe on Hirato__ 's head 13:56 * Hirato__ transmutes it into a kitten in spite 13:57 Hirato [263] Hirato WHO This command could not be completed because it has been used recently, and is rate-limited. 13:57 Hirato what? 14:02 tomreyn you mustn't run /who more than once per 5s. it's possible your irc client runs it automatically when you open context menus on users in a channel or just join a channel, or just in regular intervals in the background. 14:03 tomreyn basically, just wait a few seconds and run it again if you actually menat to. 14:05 MichaelRpdx Is this something to be concerned about? 14:05 MichaelRpdx running my game and I see the seed value in the display, but it doesn't match the seed value in map_meta 14:05 Hirato I changed my nick from hirato__ to hirato and that popped up 14:06 tomreyn safe to ignore then 14:11 Megaf sfan5: not mature yet 14:12 sfan5 no 14:12 Megaf and the best thing about it it USED TO BE the fastest file system 14:12 sfan5 yes 14:12 Megaf Ext4 its as fast as 14:12 Megaf XFS still the fastest 14:12 sfan5 btrfs stores my stuff just fine 14:13 sfan5 it also survived many power "outages" (read: someone unplugged my rpi) 14:13 Megaf for speed I use LVM, and with that, XFS for more speed and JFS for safety sake 14:13 Megaf sfan5: I believe for that case, Ext3 is the most reliable 14:13 Megaf it can survive a lot of stuff 14:13 Megaf really well tested and maintened, just as JFS 14:14 Megaf still, nothing better than backup on a another media/computer 14:14 sfan5 like I said btrfs works just fine for me and I don't plan to use ext3 or jfs 14:44 Amaz Is it possible to limit the mapgen to a particular version in a gamemode? 14:44 Megaf sfan5: I never used btfrs for real, I used RaiserFS once or twice 14:45 Megaf and I hope to have solved my problems, automatic backups every hour 14:45 Megaf using backintime 14:45 sfan5 Amaz: what do you mean with 'limit to version' 14:45 sfan5 >automatic backups every hour 14:45 sfan5 lol 14:45 sfan5 I only do backups every 2 or 3 months 14:46 Amaz So that the you can only use mapgen 7, and no other version. 14:46 sfan5 what do you want to achieve? 14:47 Amaz So I'm working on a gamemode with someone else, and we're making a custom mapgen, and we want people to only be able to use that, and no other. 14:48 Amaz And it will only work with mapgen 7. 14:49 sfan5 Amaz: use https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L1382 in https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L1271 14:50 Amaz Thanks. 14:53 Amaz So where do I put that? 14:58 Amaz At the start of mapgen.lua? 15:17 sfan5 Amaz: yes 15:18 Amaz Ok.
