I just found I have a disk problem. The disk was remounted read only during the last hours.
I rebooted the server into recovery mode.

Okay, good. I think it will really be appreciated if we could install Ndless when not near a computer... especially when testing a program that might crash the calculator. We could even spread Ndless around in schools once it is released :D

Wow is it me or does there seems to be some bad charset in there, or is it due to the forum system not being in UTF-8? Example, Activé shows with a copyright sign and a weird A accent. I don't know much about that stuff but hopefully someone can help.

Yes the server is in utf-8 and putty was left in iso8859-1, but that's not really important.

the server's hardware is perfectly fine, that was confirmed by a complete check by the server's provider administrative interface.

the filesystem got somewhat totally destroyed, I don't know how it is even possible. e2fsck found so many corruptions that I thought the disk was filled with garbage, such as if some block (and all the following) was not properly aligned.

in the end, I formatted the disk, reinstalled debian, then restored the backup I did last night. I pray myself for having thought about that or I would have lost *anything*. I also thank debian for the sites-enabled concept that permitted a very fast restoration using symlinks to my individual config files.

svn is back
mysql is back
the wiki is back
In the process mediawiki was bumped from 1.13.2 to 1.16.0

(i'm struggling with firefox sync but that's another story.)

Now recent changes need to be fed in. The change made yesterday was lost in the process. You can import any new information that you found was lost.

The most important change is that I now have automatic daily backups (300MB.bz2 for web and svn, 1MB.bz2 for mysql)

Odd, I was sure I tried this before and it didn't work. Now I tried it again twice (switching the A-end and B-end of the cord just to make sure) and it worked both times.

I have tried all of these methods and I have never had Ndless install on the first try (best is 4, worst is 15 today x.x).  Could it have something to do with my Nspire?

perhaps it has to do with the date of the nspire?

does the ndless team have the old nspires that are perfectly fine with OS 1.1

I do.

The black screen and clock freeze crashes seem to depend on the state of the calculator (number of files, previous use, ...), this doesn't make debugging easy.

I'M glad everything was sorted out. I hope nothing bad happens again.

If it ever becomes a recurring event, please check your access logs, in case it might be triggered intentionally by a third-party.

I've heard of that before. From someone that was running a room with many servers, and approximately once every three years a whole row of blocks would get corrupted on one of those. He eventually figured out what was happening, something about the read/write system. For what I understood, when something was read, it had to be rewritten at some point, and sometimes it failed attempting to do so, leaving a row of corrupted bytes. He figured out that it was caused by cosmic rays... That sounds unbelievable like that, but he definitely knew what he was talking about.

I think my cosmic ray was named firefox sync server that usually writes a lot of database entries, causing traffic and journalling operations. Couple that with a transient IO problem or a weird ext3 bug that triggers only on certain (race) conditions and you're done.

unfortunately it was in the same datafile as other databases.

this cause is now eradicated, my firefox sync server is now using sqlite.

the wiki database is now almost alone. And dumped daily to a backup server.
