They keep recording dropped/aborted/limited events despite havig removed them and something keeps adding those rules back in....getting very frustrating to troubleshoot real software issues with I have 80,000 lines of nothing but those 3 iptables rules.... [03:26] dragondon: you have a log issue or iptables issue? [03:27] iptables I guess really. These rules seem to keep being re-added after I've deleted them. [03:29] dragondon: you flush them and start fresh? (since you only have 3 rules?) [03:31] stlsaint: actually, there are more, it's just 3 that are filling up the logs. http://paste.ubuntu.com/449916/ [03:33] dragondon: are you using iptables via cli and trying to use UFW? [03:34] dragondon: are you having ufw log anything? [03:34] that sounds like what I am doing.....iptables/cli-ufw [03:34] don't know about ufw logging.....is it enabld by default? [03:35] dragondon: are you using these on a laptop or server? [03:36] stlsaint: desktop [03:36] stlsaint: old Dell Dimensoin 1100 [03:38] dragondon: ok well i suggest you flush any rules you set via cli and just go with ufw since you have a gui [03:38] dragondon: you can save those rules if you feel inclined of course.. [03:39] stlsaint: they are already saved in a text file if I really need them. [03:39] kk [03:39] stlsaint: actually, I've saved multiple versions as I've deleted rules....now as for flushing, and so I get it right, would this be done via gui or cli? [03:41] i would suggest a quick flush via cli [03:42] dragondon: iptables -F [03:44] stlsaint: done [03:44] dragondon: no set your rules via ufw and dont bother entering any rules via cli [03:46] stlsaint: ok, so I am using Guarddog for gui, but it sems that I still have to do sudo ufw enable to start tthe ufw....and on every reboot as well. [03:48] dragondon: i have never used guarddog so im not sure about that [03:48] stlsaint: do you use a gui or cli for iptables management? [03:48] dragondon: i use either firestarter/ufw for workstations and iptables cli for servers [03:49] stlsaint: ok....i liked Guarddog better than Firestarter when I briefly tried it awhile back. [03:50] stlsaint: well, 5 mins and no more logging of stupid rules......let see how long this lasts, was at this point before a few times..... [03:51] dragondon: tail that log file so you can see what actions are starting the log.... [03:53] dragondon: use the tail command [03:53] dragondon: tail -f /var/log/.... [03:55] stlsaint: http://paste.ubuntu.com/449922/ [03:56] dragondon: what log is that? [03:57] messages....sorry....did you want to see some other one? [03:57] is that the log that keeps getting full on you? [03:57] yeah [03:59] LOL...looks like someone is interested in you...unless you recognize those ip's! :D [04:00] I think those are from my torrent client.....although I saw this in the syslog: ntpd[18226]: sendto(211.115.194.21) (fd=21): Operation not permitted [04:01] that's a Korean ip address.....I am actually trying to help my wife find a job ove there teaching English..... [04:01] ok, i can tell you now that you probably dont have the correct rules in place for you to be torrenting in/out [04:01] well, even after the flush now with using a gui and allowing the client's port? 51413 [04:02] what else is that log saying now? [04:04] dazmmit....it's back again.....truly frustrating....filling up with aborted/dropped crap..... [04:04] dragondon: hrm, other sources are saying bad network card... [04:05] doh...nevermind.....just loading up the log was slow.....ugh... [04:05] i thought something was fishy with those abortions/and not receiving ACK packets means they are being dropped.... [04:05] the log has no new messages in it for the last 10mins. [04:06] so knowing that, would that be normal for a torrent client to see? [04:07] not sure...im not getting anything like that on my logs so i still point to network issue, try dropping all firewall rules and carrying on business as usual...keep torrenting or whatever and watch that log file [04:08] this all started because a progam that was running just fine (Banshee) now won't open....trying to find the right log to see what might be recorded... [04:10] its going to be in your messages log [04:15] never saw anything there....not important at the moment.....have a side question....anyidea what the hell this red line is in IRC? http://imagebin.org/101364 [04:16] what client are you using? [04:17] dragondon: thats prolly just a client break point or something...but i must depart now [04:17] thanks for all your help! [04:17] dragondon: It's to mark when you moused off the window [04:17] hopefully that log issue will stop with the iptables rules gone... [04:17] dragondon: no prob [04:17] hopefully [04:17] aveilleux: yea something like that [04:18] aveilleux: if that were the case, then there should be a ton given the fact that I've been doing all my looking up on a whoel different desktop [04:18] dragondon: It resets when the window gets focus [04:20] aveilleux: not quite following what you mean.....if I am into another desktop/window and that causes the redline, then that red line should be pretty much a continual thing for when I do this troubleshooting.... [04:21] dragondon: If you're using XChat or Pidgin, that's what it is. What client are you using? [04:21] aveilleux: Quassel [04:22] dragondon: http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/issues/755 [04:23] aveilleux: thanks for the info......still don't get it's useage for me....at least I know what it kinda is.... [04:24] dragondon: I guess it's buggy in Quassel. [04:24] aveilleux: maybe....just a curiosity more than anything.... === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 === PabloRubianes_ is now known as PabloRubianes [12:18] heys guys, is anyone here fro australia? i got a new modom from testra bigpond is comes with a software disc i will admit i haven't tried it yet but will it work, it's designed for windows [12:33] hello mong...

[13:40] hi ekseniks, see: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [13:40] gISOmount [13:40] thanks guys [13:40] Nice Puck` [13:40] hi Silver_Fox_ (: [13:40] Didn't realise that nautilus supports that [13:40] =] [13:41] Go with Puck` s suggestion first ekseniks :) [13:41] Hello Puck` :) [13:41] How goes the radio ? [13:41] ok ok, now we have the site on focus, kinda redo, or build up from scratch [13:43] Cool [13:43] are you still on your trip ? (: [13:44] No, I came back to the UK last friday [13:44] Trip to USA was brillant [13:44] brilliant [13:44] ;) [13:49] ah guys... unfortunatly the images aren't iso's? [13:49] the scritp doesn't show up [13:51] whats easier, converting the images or changing the script? [13:53] What are they then? file the_image.iso, or right-click -> properies -> Type: says? [13:53] Image file should be .iso [13:53] What is right click properties tell you about file type ? [13:54] these ones are .cue and .bin [13:54] the old clone cd images [13:55] ekseniks: convert the images, see: http://www.howtodothings.com/computers-internet/how-to-convert-cue-bin-nrg-img-mdf-files-to-iso-files-on-ubuntu-linux [13:55] Are they VCDs? If so, players like VLC and mplayer should be able to play them directly [13:55] thanks Puck` ! [13:55] geirha, they are game images [13:56] ekseniks: my pleasure as always (: [13:56] Ah, then you want to convert them to iso [13:56] ekseniks: note that you only need bchunk and not the rest for the cue/bin [13:57] so sudo apt-get install bchunk should be enough, and then the command: "bchunk filename.bin filename.cue filename.iso" [13:57] guys how can i get an install disk for my new modem to run on ubuntu? [13:58] is it bad to get them all? cause i figured somewhere along my travels i'll run into another format [13:58] ekseniks: oh no, not at all, i just pointed that out, that it would be faster to finish, but if you think you'll run in to the all of the formats, it's good to have them, and then remember you have it (: [13:58] marcr, that cd is almost definitly for windows only [13:59] and i can't get my windows back either [13:59] just a side Q linux isn't like windows where if you just install all the apps in the world you pc will slow down to point of falling over and dying?

[14:01] ekseniks: oh no, there are no dll's and processes that run in the background, linux keeps things a bit more cleaner, but you always have to know what you're running [14:01] ekseniks: i mean there are background processes, it's just that there aren't as many, and usually you know about those (: [14:01] erblover: how did you try your webcam? [14:02] thanks again Puck` [14:02] ekseniks: *winks* === mohi57o9 is now known as mohi2911 [14:03] so frustrated with this friggin machine, i knew i should just left it alone [14:05] through various websites [14:05] erblover: there is a webcam application, if I could only remember it, it's in the ubuntu netbook edition too by default .. Cheese webcam?

[14:37] ekseniks: yes, proftpd does have that option, but you need to edit the configuration file [14:37] i want to share stuff with a friend but he's a 1000 miles away [14:38] is there a gui? [14:38] ekseniks: unfortunately none i know off, i only setup this on servers. But you could use Ubuntu One or Dropbox [14:39] ekseniks: Yes, it's called gproftpd [14:39] there you go [14:39] i'll give Proftp a try [14:39] ekseniks: or kproftpd on KDE [14:39] ekseniks: it's proftpd *winks* [14:39] rad!

[18:53] zkriesse: no copying going on, it should do it as part of the function of the way it's done [18:53] hmm [18:53] zkriesse: so you mount a "table" [18:54] zkriesse: and you put a "glass" on top of the table [18:54] you can write to the glass, and take the glass off, and have a perfect table [18:54] then also have a glass you can swap in and out [18:54] hmm...wow [18:54] what the heck are you doing that for?

[18:57] aveilleux: yup [18:57] hm [18:58] aveilleux: so this would work with, say, a cdrom drive as the base image [18:58] paultag: Is there a particular application you have in mind, or just in general? [18:58] aveilleux: just had this as an idea and wanted to see if anyone on the UBT could track it down. Perhaps in the long run I'll do something with a automatic package builder [18:59] aveilleux: so that I can do a make install, and roll back the base image [19:01] BRB [19:01] meditate on it aveilleux, zkriesse [19:01] I'll think on it, paultag [19:05] aveilleux: let me know :) [19:05] Be forewarned, this is both a quality control check of the UBT and a question I want to know :) [19:05] and you will get super rare paultag points [19:06] Oh dear [19:14] paultag: was afk, what's up ?
