ballIs it difficult to bridge between a wireless Ethernet (802.11g or 11n) and wired (100baseTX) on Ubuntu?05:13
HazRPGball: I've always wondered about that one too... I use to do it in windows all the time, which was handy for my xbox when I use to use it05:14
shaunoit shouldn't be.  I've bridged between 3g & ethernet a few times, not too messy05:15
ballHazRPG: the only computer in our house that's useable (because it has a network connection) is a very broken old Xubuntu laptop.05:15
ballHazRPG: I neeed to get something running tonight and if I have to install Ubuntu on a desktop for that to happen, I will.05:16
shaunoI dunno if the network widget does it tho, I did it the old-fashioned way05:16
shaunothinking about it, it was a dhcp server, caching name server, ip_forward & something involving masquerade in iptables.  maybe not as straight forward as I remembered05:17
ballshauno: I'm not afraid of the command line.05:17
shaunoaltho a lot of that was because the other machine I was trying to use was a brain-dead embedded firmware, so I needed dhcp & dns because there was no other way to configure it05:18
ballIf I bridge between the two LANs, the router should be able to serve DHCP even to the wired devices.05:19
shaunoI know it sounds like a rtfm, but http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Masquerading-Simple-HOWTO.html#SUMMARY05:20
ballI don't want or need NAT05:20
HazRPGthink this is more what ball is trying to do: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-632062.html05:21
shaunonever heard of bridge-utils, that may be easier :)05:22
shaunobriding is nat tho; it's just snat instead of what you're used to05:22
HazRPGor possibly this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/howto-bridge-wireless-and-wired-network-interfaces-369455/05:23
ballWhat is "snat"?05:23
HazRPGthat last one seems easier to do05:23
HazRPGSecure/Source NAT05:23
shaunorouting multiple addresses on one interface to multiple on another05:24
HazRPGsometimes the S can also mean Stateful05:24
HazRPGdepends who you ask :/05:24
shaunonot sure what the scheme is actually called, but iptables calls it snat :)05:24
HazRPGthink cisco classify SNAT as Stateful NAT05:24
ballshauno: That sounds like layer 3 stuff05:25
shaunoit's many-to-many instead of one-to-many05:25
ballI'm talking about simple Ethernet bridging05:25
HazRPGpretty much05:25
HazRPGcheck the 2nd link I put ball, does bridging in a few commands05:25
ballHazRPG: Thanks, I'll try that.05:26
shaunoit's only simple because things shrink wrap it .. it's all the same to the kernel :)05:26
shaunotime to head off.  good luck with that, should be pretty straight forward in most tools05:30
ballshauno: erm... no.05:30
HazRPGshauno: catch ya later dude05:31
HazRPGball: apparently there is a gui way to do it...05:33
HazRPGhttp://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120662905:33
HazRPGlast post05:33
HazRPGI've seen that tick box a thousand times, but never thought it was the way to bridge connections...05:34
HazRPGhope that solves it dude05:34
ballHazRPG: Thanks.  I may have to resort to that.05:35
HazRPGyou make it sound like the gui one is bad :P05:35
HazRPGguessing xubuntu doesn't include network-manager05:36

brobostigon256 will be the nearest then.13:33
ali1234yeah13:33
brobostigonas we need 100hz output.13:33
ali1234if you need a specific timing you have to run the avr at a different clock rate13:33

ali1234what error13:35

Neotinope desktop13:38
AlanBellNeoti: do you have an FN key or something which makes them work?13:38
Neotinope.13:38
ali1234brobostigon: it's a code sample, you are supposed to copy paste the whole thing i guess13:39
Neotiits just a bog standard qwerty keyboard13:39
ali1234btw, pwm isn't meant for function generation13:39
AlanBellcan you prove the keyboard works?13:39
ali1234and you can get much closer to 100hz using a phase accumulator13:39
Neotiyes i just booted up my windows computer and the keys defo work ... just on my ubuntu system they dont for some reason13:40
ali1234or just a built in timer13:40
brobostigonali1234: hmm, i see.13:40
ali1234why do you actually need 100hz?13:40
ali1234i suggest you hit the avr docs instead of messing around with avr library13:41
ali1234i mean arduino library13:41
ali1234there is nothing complex about avr chips, you do not need a library to program them13:41
brobostigonali1234: its for something my dad is doing, and he says he wants 100hz output from the pwm, idont understand the hydraulics involved.13:41
ali1234100hz... pwm13:42
brobostigonapparently.13:42
ali1234well if it is to be used as pwm then frequency accuracy probably doesn't matter too much13:43
NeotiAlanBell: fixed it http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4444700&postcount=513:43
ali1234but if you wanted a clean 100hz signal for some reason pwm is not a good choice13:43
NeotiYEY \0/13:43
AlanBellNeoti: cool13:43
brobostigonali1234: ok, i dont understand it, i will tell my dad though,what you suggest.13:45

dogmatic69random poll... whats your thoughts on something like http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/undergrad/courses/compsci/open-source-computing/14:57
dwatkinsMartijnVdS: sounds pretty well organised14:58
dwatkinsdogmatic69: I'd probably really enjoy that course, but my only concern might be if I wanted a programming job afterwards, people might be concerned I'd not done any development within a company15:00
MartijnVdSdwatkins: yeah, and less risk of kitchen dealer going bust before actually delivering a kitchen (that used to be an epidemic here in .nl)15:00
dogmatic69dwatkins: i got 5+ years experience so not to worried about that15:00
ali1234java programming, web programming, dbms..... sounds pretty lame to me15:00
dwatkinsdogmatic69: in that case, great :D15:00
dogmatic69the core is C++15:00
dwatkinsI'm reading a book on C++ right now, can't really give up my job to do a degree in it15:01
dogmatic69plus learning java would be cool for android which i would like15:01
ali1234why not just do computer science?15:01
dwatkinshttp://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html if you're curious15:01
dwatkinsJava and C++ have a lot of similarities. I think I'd prefer to learn them separately to avoid confusion.15:02
dogmatic69dwatkins: cool, ive been giving c a go, with arduino15:02
ali1234seems like it's just core compsci with maybe 1 or 2 optional courses about "open source"15:02
dwatkinsdogmatic69: I'm looking forward to my Arduino being delivered :)15:02
dogmatic69:)15:02
dogmatic69dwatkins: after you done the blinking led got something more fun for you15:02
dwatkinsoh yes, dogmatic69?15:03
dwatkinsA blinking LED that uses a sensor to blink at different rates depending on the ambient temperature? ;)15:03
dogmatic69https://github.com/dogmatic69/arduino-ohm-meter/blob/master/ohm_meter.pde15:03
dwatkinsooh, excellent - thanks dogmatic6915:03
MartijnVdSOhmmmmm15:03
dogmatic69got a few commits local, will push them soon15:03
dwatkinsI remember running an app on an SGI machine which blinked the power LED like a heartbeat - the more load on the CPU, the faster it blinked :D15:04
dogmatic69dwatkins: also got a cap meter :)15:04
dwatkinsFor measuring capacitance?15:04
dogmatic69yip15:04
dogmatic69with a ne555 timer15:04
dwatkinsdogmatic69: it mentions display - where is the output sent to?15:04
dwatkinsthe serial port as text?15:04
dogmatic69no, 16x2 lcd15:05
dwatkinsoh an LCD....15:05
dogmatic69you should get one15:05
dwatkinsyeah, I plan to in the next order15:05
dogmatic69arduino Serial + ubuntu is pants15:05
dogmatic69its 10 quid for one15:05
dwatkinsWe ordered from adafruit, I think they sell one, but I'll probably just get one locally in the UK15:05
* suprengr is sad... used 'hibernate' on 10.04 for first time today - when I got home and pressed power button... Ububtu started from normal startup. boo! hiss!15:05
dogmatic69dwatkins: coolcomponents are great15:05
dwatkinsthanks dogmatic6915:05
dogmatic69good prices, quick delivery, reasonable variety15:06
dwatkinsI like their blog entries too - that net curtain is rather amusing :)15:07
dwatkinsI clearly need to decide what to mount my Arduino and LCD in...15:07
dogmatic69not seen them15:07
dwatkinson the front page of http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/15:08
dogmatic69my major projects with arduino is a laser cutter and autonomous grass mower15:08
dwatkinsI was looking at the ybox2 on adafruit, but I'll save that for next winter15:08
dwatkinsI like these ideas, dogmatic69 - I don't have any specific projects in mind, I just want to learn15:08
dogmatic69laser cutter will be for balsa - model planes :)15:09
dwatkinsexcellent15:09
dogmatic6960w co2 laser15:09
Neotidoes anyone in her use zoneminder ?15:09
dogmatic69only thing im scared of is the 30kV they use to opperate :/15:09
dwatkinsdogmatic69: ouch, yeah15:10
* brobostigon thank google goggles for the help in solving a sodoku. :)15:10
brobostigonsudoku*15:10
dwatkinsdogmatic69: should I get a serial-enabled LCD, or is it easy enough to control them via a parallel interface from an Arduino?15:10
dogmatic69get one with the HD44780-compatible chip15:11
dogmatic69for 16x2 that is15:11
dogmatic69not sure on others15:11
dogmatic69HD44780 is plug and play, others you might have to write 'drivers' for15:11
dogmatic69also parallel would use all your pins up15:12
dwatkinsaha thanks15:12
* dwatkins bookmarks http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3515:12
dogmatic69that is the one i have :D15:12
dwatkinsexcellent, thanks for the tip15:12
dogmatic69it uses 4 pins + 5 for power15:13
dwatkinsWhere do you learn how to connect and program them?15:13
dwatkinsi.e. spec sheets, included docs, or elsewhere?15:13
dogmatic69*4 for data, 3 for controlling and 2 for data15:14
dogmatic69cool components has links to spec sheets on all the pages15:14
dwatkinsyeah, just loading that up now15:14
dogmatic69i just been browsing github for ideas https://github.com/search?langOverride=&q=arduino&repo=&start_value=1&type=Repositories15:14
dwatkinsI gather you can take an Ardunio after programming and just take the chip out and put it on its own board with a couple other components to then re-use the original dev board, so I could make all sorts of things with these15:15
dwatkinsaha yeah15:15
dogmatic69i got working code for 7 seg displays, capacitance, lcd, led light meter, range finder, motor controller, ohm meter, servo and almost i2c temp15:16
dogmatic69will try push them all tomorrow15:16
dwatkinsI really like 7-segment displays, I'd like to build a speed-o-meter someday15:16
=== Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte
dwatkinsthis --> http://hackaday.com/2010/06/17/replacement-speedometer/ :D15:17
dogmatic69dwatkins: i bought a loose microcontroller so im gonna set the uno up as a programmer and then just use the loose one for building things15:17
dogmatic69nice15:17
dwatkinsI assume that's pretty much having the chip on its own board and a re-usable programming board15:18
dogmatic69next code to write is the pin splitter thing 2 pins -> 16 or something15:18
dwatkinsI clearly have a lot to read up on15:18
dwatkinsserial vs parallel?15:18
dwatkinsbrb15:18
dogmatic69ive just been reading the arduino site mostly, good info there15:18
dogmatic69and #arduino is helpful too15:18
dogmatic69dwatkins: when you back http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8130 you could connect 10 of them to your uno and have 160 digital pins at your disposal15:21
dogmatic69side note, i found https://proto-pic.co.uk to be quite lame, took a week for delivery and some things were squashed15:22
dwatkinsnot good, dogmatic6915:39
dwatkinsI gather adafruit is pretty good, they're in the US of course15:39
dogmatic69i could not wait that long :D15:40
dogmatic69you know RS components? if you know what you want that is a good place15:40
dogmatic69biggest electronics place i know of, its like the mcdonalds of electronics15:40
penguin42well, they're not the cheapest of places - but they've been going a LONG time15:41
dwatkinsYeah, RS have a huge catalogue.15:42

MartijnVdSdwatkins: you can preorder at amazon16:02
dwatkinsMartijnVdS: woohoo16:02
brobostigoncheers dwatkins :)16:02
brobostigonatleast iplayer works.16:03
* dwatkins learns that NTFS in linux is apparently done in userland16:04
directhexit is.16:04
directhexit's a FUSE driver16:05
directhexthere was an old read-only implementation in kernelspace16:05
dwatkinsI see, directhex :)16:05
dwatkinsI guess it's not required to be in the kernel, as it's only used for cross compatability16:05
dwatkinsi.e. using disks made on 'other' operating systems16:05
directhexdwatkins, technically you could use a fuse driver "normally" by including everything in the initrd16:06
brobostigonit has eventually  loaded itvplayer and then says, "this programme is not availabletowatch on itv.com" why didnt ou tell me  earlier, before i waited 15 mins for it to load. arghhh.16:07
penguin42there was an in kernel NTFS years ago wasn't there? (with very restricted functionality)16:10
dwatkinsapparently so, penguin42 - no write capability16:10
dwatkinsor it was hideously broken16:10
penguin42yeh16:10
dwatkinsah, as directhex said16:10

suprengrhi all. I have been given a D-Link DSL-2640S router.  Is it possible to use this to connect two Ubuntu systems [1x10.04desktop & 1x10.04 netbook]?16:31
brobostigonsuprengr: can you be more specific, what do you mean by conenct?16:31
suprengrbrobostigon: networking them for file copy [& hi there!]16:32
brobostigonsuprengr: scp, setup ssh on both ends.16:33
suprengrbrobostigon: with router in the middle I assume?16:33
brobostigonor something like sshfs16:33
brobostigonyes.16:33
suprengrcool! [a friend requested a new router from Sky & they sent him three :D]16:34
brobostigonjust make sure both machines cansee eachother.16:34
AlanBella router isn't essential to connect two machines16:34
brobostigonyou use crossover ethernet cable.16:34
brobostigoncould*16:34
AlanBellcrossover cable would do, or some autosense now16:35
brobostigonyes.16:35
suprengrAlanBell: you mean as in peer to peer... I thought that was a no no.  ...& that also answers my other question re cross-over or standard cat5 :D16:36
AlanBellworks fine, but you have to sort out IP addresses somehow16:36
dwatkinsMy router has a hub built-in to it...16:36
AlanBelleither run a dhcp server on one of them, or set static addresses in the same subnet16:36
AlanBellI am guessing your router has a dhcp server which hands out 192.168 addresses to devices plugged into it's hub16:37
suprengrAlanBell: ok.. can do that, no prob [I hope]16:37
brobostigonsuprengr: even with a crossover cable inbetween, you can still use scp or sshfs,16:37
suprengr& yes - it has a 4 port hub built in16:38
suprengr...I love ubuntu-uk: you ask a silly question, no-one laughs & you get help.... love you all16:39
suprengrthankyou16:39
brobostigonyoǘre welcome suprengr16:40
dwatkinssuprengr: http://pathogenrush.blogspot.com/2010/09/d-link-dsl-2640s.html :)16:40
dwatkinsThere's all sorts of information about it online, but yes, you can just connect network cables between the PCs and the router and they should get an IP address from the router and be able to see each other16:40
suprengrdwatkins: ok... now I'm more than impresses ;D16:40
suprengr*impressed16:41
dwatkinsif that doesn't work, you might have to set static IP addresses, but the router should give them out, good luck suprengr :)16:41
suprengrthanks again16:41
dwatkinsthis reminds me, I was going to run busybox on a gumstix PC...16:42
NeotiAny one using ZoneMinder16:49
* Neoti needs help on zoneminder!16:49
AlanBellthere is #zoneminder16:50
Neotii have posted the question there and its been four hours i have reposted it every 30 min ... but still nothing ...16:50
AlanBelloh, give it 24 hours16:50
AlanBelland try on a weekday16:50
Neotitrue16:51
AlanBellbut it might be that they don't use the channel16:51
AlanBellhow far have you got?16:51
AlanBellI looked at doing a zoneminder cctv for my house16:51
Neotii have a camera with a RTSP out feed and i can get the images via Mplayer etc but am stuck with some options in zoneminder...16:52
AlanBellnever quite got round to it and the project cost when I worked it out was higher than I initially guessed16:52
Neotisome of the documentation says if the stream works in mplayer IE mplayer rtsp://192.168.200.100:554 then zone minder will work fine but its not working ... i just get a red bar and not image etc...16:52
jacobwHow much data does a CCTV feed generate per minute/hour/day ?16:53
jacobwSurely its a lot?16:53
Neotiwell i was using this through Gsurf the grandstream monitoring program and 1 hour was 400MB16:54
AlanBelljacobw: you can set it to record only whenn something interesting is happening (big changes between frames)16:55
jacobwI suppose you only need to keep, say, 48 hours worth of recording at any one time16:56
jacobwAh, that's cool AlanBell16:56
Neotifor my purpose i will keep them for 7 days and then it will delete them off etc..16:57
popeyheh16:57
popeyi keep mine for ages16:57
popeyeats loads of disk space16:57

MonsterKillerHey. i just built the latest openssl from source, does anyone how i could tell if it was installed right /just make sure its working17:16
MartijnVdSMonsterKiller: why did you install it that way?17:16
MartijnVdS(first of all :))17:16
MonsterKillerbecause there was a newer one from source than the ubuntu package17:16
MonsterKillerand i was getting ssl errors on my webserver17:17
MonsterKillerso i wanted the newest17:17
MonsterKiller:P17:17
MartijnVdSuhm17:17
BigRedSMonsterKiller: the packaged openssl is tested with the packaged apache17:17
MartijnVdSit's more likely to break harder than fix your problem17:18
MartijnVdSunless you really know what you're doing17:18
MonsterKiller>.<17:18
BigRedSa custom-built one wont be. What were the errors? It's highly unlikely a compile has fixed them17:18
MonsterKillerhttp://paste.monsterprojects.org/mpbhblejkrejwrl17:18
BigRedSBut, really, that's how to check it's working - do stuff with it and check it acts as expected17:18
MonsterKilleri went to the lighttpd channel and they suggested the newest openssl17:18
MartijnVdS:'(17:19
BigRedSPeople do that...17:19
MonsterKillerlol17:19
BigRedSIt's not necessarily a *bad* thing, it's just it's easier to find a bunch of people using the distro-supplied openssl with the distro-supplied lighttpd than a mish-mash of handbuilds17:19
BigRedSand the distro-supported way is better tested17:20
MartijnVdSBigRedS: unless $distro is one of the build-your-owns ;)17:20
MonsterKillerlol17:20
BigRedSMartijnVdS: ah yeah. I forget about those :)17:21
BigRedSbut those people just want that sort of trouble, anyway17:21
BigRedS:)17:21
jacobwDamn 'those people' ;)17:22
BigRedSHaha. I've nothing against them, I just don't want to be one17:23
BigRedSOh, MonsterKiller your paste wotsit didn't work for me17:23
MonsterKillero.O17:24
MonsterKillerill put it somewhere else17:24
MonsterKillerbut what did it say / not do?17:24
MonsterKiller:p17:24
BigRedSnope17:24
BigRedSusererror17:24
BigRedS:(17:24
BigRedS(I missed a character off when I copied)17:24
MonsterKillerhehe17:24
BigRedSThough I'm still useless, and I've got to wander off imminently in any case17:25
MonsterKillerwho updates the ubuntu packages?17:32
MartijnVdSthe Ubuntu maintainers17:32
MonsterKilleri see17:32
MartijnVdSbut what is the exact problem you have?17:32
MonsterKillerwell to start with lighttpd was giving ssl errors and people couldnt access ssl pages17:33
MartijnVdSwhich ssl errors?17:33
MartijnVdSany more specific?17:33
MonsterKillerSSL: 1 error:1408A09D:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:clienthello tlsext17:33
MonsterKillerSSL: null SSL_CTX for TLS server name <page>17:33
MartijnVdSThat looks like the client starts a TLS/SSLv3 connection17:34
MartijnVdSand the server can't find a SSL context for the server17:35
MartijnVdSsounds like you didn't generate/specify your server cert correctly in the lighttpd config17:35
MonsterKillerthe thing was that it worked for about 3 weeks then all of a sudden i got that17:35
MartijnVdSmaybe the cert expired?17:36
MartijnVdSor the signing cert expired?17:36
MonsterKillershouldnt have done :/17:36
MartijnVdScheck it17:36
MartijnVdSor someone/something fiddled with your config17:39
* mgdm wonders if dotdeb.org packages on Hardy is a bad idea17:43
MonsterKillerhmm well i will go back to the ubuntu openssl package for now since building one didnt work but there is like 5 updates, 1 of which is a security update, after package one17:45
mgdmsod it, /me rebuilds it with pbuilder17:45
MonsterKillerlol17:45
MartijnVdSMonsterKiller: the Ubuntu people /always/ backport security fixes17:46
MonsterKillerlol17:47
MartijnVdSare you really laughing out loud, or are you just filling the void with useless "lol"ling17:47
MonsterKillererm 2nd one?17:48
MonsterKiller>.<17:48
MonsterKillerOpenSSL 1.0.0c is now available, including important bug and security fixes17:48
MartijnVdSMonsterKiller: Important fixes are always backported to stable releases of Ubuntu17:49
MonsterKillerokay17:50
MonsterKillerthough i wish i wasnt told i should update openssl from source :/17:51
MonsterKillergot to install things again17:51
MartijnVdSMonsterKiller: if you're lucky, it installed in /usr/local/ instead of /usr/lib/17:53
MartijnVdSMonsterKiller: if so, "make uninstall" should do the trick :)17:53
MonsterKiller/usr/local/ssl17:54
MonsterKiller:p17:54
MonsterKillernever done make uninstall though17:55
MonsterKillerfirst timer for that17:55
MonsterKillermake: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.17:56
MonsterKillero.O17:56
MartijnVdSoh, too bad17:56
MartijnVdSsometimes that works17:56
dwatkinsI guess it would require the Makefile to have rules on what to do, you could reverse the process of installation by hand, though, in theory...17:57
MartijnVdSdwatkins: afaik some automake versions create makefiles with uninstall targets17:57
MonsterKillerif i knew where it put everything17:57
MartijnVdSand ExtUtils::MakeMaker used to17:57
dwatkinsMonsterKiller: reading the Makefile may tell you this17:57
mgdmtbh I'd do something like apt-get install --reinstall openssl (whatever the package name is)17:58
mgdmbut I'll defer to advice on that point17:58
MartijnVdSmgdm: won't matter, everything installed into /usr/local/ssl17:58
MartijnVdSmgdm: package files weren't overwritten17:58
mgdmAh, that's not so bad then17:59
MonsterKillerwhere should it usually install?17:59
MartijnVdSMonsterKiller: depends on what you tell it :)18:00
MonsterKillerlol18:00
MartijnVdSusually you would use a package18:00
MonsterKilleri will just stick with the package for now and wait till the package is updated18:01

brobostigonme too, very.19:50
ali1234meh, even windows mobile supported ipv6 back in 200519:53
MartijnVdSali1234: everything except most home routers/modems supports it19:54
brobostigonali1234: issue is, do an mobile phone providers support  and give ipv6 addr's. not that iknow of yet, atleastin the uk.19:54
MartijnVdSali1234: Carrier/ISP equipment can all do it (yay US government requirements)19:54
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: problem is, mobile won't do dual-stack until LTE19:55
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: 3G (UMTS) and GPRS support v4 _or_ v6, but not both at the same time19:55
brobostigonMartijnVdS: LTE ?19:55

MartijnVdSbrobostigon: sure, but if the ISP is assuming most people have the cheap router, they won't implement v620:00
MartijnVdSwell they will20:00
MartijnVdSbut everyone will need a new modem20:00
MartijnVdSor router20:00
brobostigonor new firmware,20:00
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: new modem is easier for the support department20:01
MartijnVdSfirmware flashing can go wrong in so many creative ways20:01

AzelphurI think it's just the sound preferences dialog that went up the wall20:29
penguin42hmm20:29
stuartThis might be a bit OT, but does Ubuntu automatically recognise say (SMP) Hyperthreading even if it is not recognised in the bios??20:49
mgdmthe kernel will handle that, so yes20:50
mgdmwell, if it's available on the chip, and assuming it's not disabled somehow20:51
AlanBellif it is disabled in the bios then it will see one processor20:51
gordyeah smp is almost always controlled by the bios20:52
AlanBellbut the bios should have some setting for it20:52
