09:40 PM rue_shop1: not gonna be warm for a while
09:40 PM Tom_L: mmm
09:40 PM rue_shop1: hey, the section of desk it spilled on is only 4' long
09:47 PM Tom_L: hey, how can i sudo copy a whole directory?
09:48 PM Tom_L: this one has to be root or sudo copied
10:18 PM Tom_L: how do i check what ethernet cards i have installed?
10:34 PM rue_bed: ifconfig -a
10:34 PM rue_bed: or lspci
10:34 PM Tom_L: how can i find one it can't see?
10:34 PM rue_bed: lspci
10:35 PM Tom_L: hmm
10:36 PM Tom_L: that must be it because it's showing it on pcie
10:36 PM Tom_L: but i'm using the MB one for internet
10:36 PM Tom_L: the 2nd one will be for a mill card
10:36 PM Tom_L: manually configured for a static ip
10:38 PM rue_bed: its a misnomer, it'll show all the devices
10:39 PM Tom_L: it's showing enp1so in the list
10:39 PM Tom_L: but only showing one card
10:40 PM Tom_L: does it only show the ones not configured yet?
10:40 PM Tom_L: in the gui editor
10:42 PM rue_bed: lspci
10:42 PM rue_bed: lspci shows all onboard and plugged in cards
10:43 PM Tom_L: yeah but i only see one there
10:43 PM Tom_L: and it's the pcie one
10:43 PM Tom_L: not the mb one
10:43 PM rue_bed: is it disabled in the bios?
10:43 PM Tom_L: but the mb one is working
10:43 PM Tom_L: no
10:43 PM rue_bed: the mb one is on an onboard pci bus
10:43 PM rue_bed: paste the lspci result
10:44 PM Tom_L: the one shown says pcie
10:44 PM rue_bed: it can be on an onboard pcie too
10:45 PM rue_bed: sorry my awake-ed-ness is in limbo

10:55 PM rue_bed: using a different card?
10:55 PM Tom_L: see the static ip is something like 10.10.10.1
10:55 PM Tom_L: no, i just haven't gotten it all set up yet
10:55 PM Tom_L: remembering as i go
10:55 PM rue_bed: your whole picture became cloudy when your stories crossed that your using it but its not working
10:55 PM Tom_L: huh?
10:56 PM rue_bed: yea
10:56 PM Tom_L: i'm using the one on the MB for internet
10:56 PM rue_bed: huh is exactly where I'm at
10:56 PM rue_bed: k
10:56 PM Tom_L: i'm gonna use the pcie one for this
10:56 PM rue_bed: ok
10:56 PM Tom_L: static 10.10.10.1
10:56 PM Tom_L: i'm just now getting to the point to set it up and wasn't sure which hardware device it was
10:56 PM rue_bed: did you boot it recently?
10:57 PM Tom_L: ?
10:57 PM Tom_L: boot it?

10:58 PM Tom_L: earlier tonight
10:58 PM rue_bed: look for the kernel finding the card
10:58 PM rue_bed: if you hit / it will go into search mode
10:58 PM rue_bed: 8139 enter
10:58 PM Tom_L: fixing something else atm
10:58 PM Tom_L: i'll check it soon
10:58 PM rue_bed: you should see it find and assign a device to the card
10:59 PM rue_bed: I cant, cause I last booted up 237 days ago, and its all gone
10:59 PM Tom_L: i'm showing 2 connections in the gui now
10:59 PM rue_bed: ifconfig -a
10:59 PM rue_bed: gui means nothing usefull
11:00 PM Tom_dev: no but the MB one works !
11:01 PM rue_bed: how many devices, less lo are listed in ifconfig -a
11:01 PM Tom_L: one problem is, i'm not sure what ip i set the external card to
11:01 PM Tom_L: they need to match
11:02 PM rue_bed: ifconfig -a
11:02 PM Tom_L: i may check it tomorrow
11:02 PM Tom_L: yeah
11:02 PM Tom_L: it has 2 possibilities
11:02 PM rue_bed: they changed the configs, or I could tell you were its set on boot
11:02 PM Tom_L: and i'm not sure which one i'm using
11:02 PM rue_bed: you can up and down it
11:02 PM Tom_L: both cards are working now
11:02 PM rue_bed: ifconfig eth0 up
11:03 PM rue_bed: ifconfig eth0 down
