| Azelphur | penguin42: {₵eะ}Project - 7</span>: Anyone want a DDoS? <-- spamming this was the most recent one :p | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Azelphur | just before the attack started, it's not exactly rocket science. | 00:01 |
| JGJones | Ah that's the problem | 00:01 |
| JGJones | Azelphur, you're making the mistake of *assuming* that the "tech" people at comcast can understand the stuff you're sending them ;-) | 00:01 |
| Azelphur | indeed, you'd think the abuse@ people would be somewhat trained to deal with (D)DoS attacks | 00:02 |
| JGJones | maybe if you inserted some OMG PONIES, they might get it. | 00:02 |
| Azelphur | lol | 00:02 |
| ali1234 | ponies? | 00:02 |
| Azelphur | maybe I should do what gamesurge do when ISP's refuse to respond to abuse@ emails | 00:02 |
| Azelphur | they just kline the entire ISP with a message telling the users to call their ISP and complain to get the issue resolved | 00:03 |
| Azelphur | amazingly seems to work rather well | 00:03 |

| scoundrel50a | Hi, the past couple of weeks, I have had a few problems with my router and ISP, and have had to use the Starbucks not far away to use the net. I havent used Ubuntu, as I am not sure its safe enough. I had to use my windows instead. I found something about using OpenVPN, found here.....http://vpnblog.info/ubuntu1010-openvpn-strongvpn.html but I am having a problem. I followed the first step, no problems, then it asks you to do the second s | 10:33 |
| scoundrel50a | tep, but where are the configuration file, and for that matter, where is OpenVPN installed to in the first step? | 10:33 |
| livingdaylight | almost everyone except for RSM and Maureen on this list use Apple macs - http://usesthis.com/archives/ | 10:35 |
| livingdaylight | brobostigon, morning | 10:35 |
| livingdaylight | scoundrel50a, safe or unsafe in what sense? | 10:35 |
| * livingdaylight is watching debate on society with or without religion on bbc1 | 10:37 | |
| scoundrel50a | well, I was warned using ubuntu without firewall, that it would be unsafe, hence to use the Openvpn | 10:46 |
| _serial_ | the ports are shut by default with linux right? | 10:46 |
| _serial_ | i use gufw for all my firewall needs, very useful :) | 10:47 |
| scoundrel50a | using the Starbucks internet | 10:47 |
| _serial_ | ah | 10:47 |
| _serial_ | vpn or tor then :/ | 10:47 |
| scoundrel50a | that is why I asked about installing the vpn, I'm having problems with it. The second part of the install instructions I just dont understand. | 10:48 |
| scoundrel50a | if you follow the url I gave | 10:48 |
| danfish | scoundrel50a: or an ssh tunnel - easier to setup IMO | 10:48 |
| _serial_ | x forwarding with ssh? | 10:49 |
| scoundrel50a | danfish: oh ok, where is an easy set up instruction page for that? | 10:49 |
| danfish | no - using the -D option to set up a proxy | 10:49 |
| danfish | scoundrel50a: give me a moment, but the command is ssh -D 8000 remoteserverip, then set the proxy settings to use localhost and port 8000 | 10:50 |
| danfish | http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/12/08/ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-forwarding-secure-browsing/ | 10:51 |
| scoundrel50a | danfish: what would I need to put in for the username and ip address? How can I find that out? | 10:54 |
| danfish | scoundrel50a: it does assume that you have an account on a remote server with ssh access | 10:57 |
| scoundrel50a | danfish: ok, dont know what that is, so how do I get one. | 10:59 |
| scoundrel50a | I havw my own web server with ssh access is that what you talk about? | 10:59 |
| danfish | scoundrel50a: yup - that should do | 10:59 |
| scoundrel50a | oh, so I connect to my server, then how does it work, just open up a browser is it, or do you have to use the terminal? | 11:00 |
| rindolf | Hi all. | 11:25 |
| rindolf | How do I install the usleep (1) command on Ubuntu? | 11:26 |
| dwatkins | rindolf: it's not a command, it's a function in C from what I can tell. | 12:08 |
| rindolf | dwatkins: it's also a command-line command. | 12:17 |
| dutchie | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=usleep&mode=&suite=natty&arch=any | 12:19 |
| dutchie | rindolf: ^^ | 12:19 |
| rindolf | dutchie: hmmm.... I want /bin/usleep | 12:20 |
| AlanBell | rindolf: what does it do? | 12:43 |
| rindolf | AlanBell: sleep for certain microseconds. | 12:43 |
| AlanBell | scoundrel50a: you can forward ports to your current location | 12:43 |
| AlanBell | scoundrel50a: or use it as a socks proxy on localhost | 12:44 |
| AlanBell | scoundrel50a: so with the command danfish gave set your firefox settings to use a socks proxy on localhost port 8000 | 12:45 |
| AlanBell | rindolf: the sleep command looks like it takes fractions of seconds | 12:45 |
| rindolf | AlanBell: micro-seconds. | 12:46 |
| rindolf | AlanBell: ah, you mean sleep(1) | 12:46 |
| AlanBell | so sleep 0.001 would sleep for a microsecond | 12:46 |
| ali1234 | good luck with that | 12:47 |
| scoundrel50a | AlanBell: Sorry it took so long to get back to you, been a bit busy. Just found that in FF about the proxy, can the proxy settings be done in Google Chrome? | 12:47 |
| ali1234 | process init takes well over microseconds | 12:47 |
| AlanBell | yeah, doubt it is accurate to that level | 12:47 |
| AlanBell | scoundrel50a: sure | 12:47 |
| Moschops | Have you got a sleep that takes a floating point number? Mine only takes an int :( | 12:48 |
| ali1234 | yes, sleep from gnu coreutils takes a float | 12:48 |
| ali1234 | at least it does according to the manual page | 12:49 |
| Moschops | Ossum. | 12:49 |
| scoundrel50a | AlanBell: ok, thank you, I'll take a look at that. Try it before I go out, see if I can get it to work. | 12:49 |
| rindolf | ali1234: sleep 0.001 will sleep for a millisecond. | 12:49 |
| ali1234 | time sleep 0.000001 | 12:50 |
| ali1234 | real0m0.003s | 12:50 |
| scoundrel50a | Is there something like FoxyProxy for Google Chrome? | 12:50 |
| dutchie | might as well just call /bin/true for that... | 12:50 |
| ali1234 | indeed | 12:50 |
| Moschops | So, end of the world was cancelled again. | 12:54 |
| MartijnVdS | gullible much? :) | 12:54 |
| Moschops | I was hoping for a big dip in the market in the approach. :( | 12:55 |
| * penguin42 is tempted to submit a bug 'System still works after the end of the world' | 13:02 | |
| Moschops | Maybe it did end, but rebooted. We'd never notice. | 13:06 |
| gord | if the world did end, all that would be left is millions of computers sitting there with the words "It is now safe to turn off your computer" on the monitor | 13:24 |

| AlanBell | apparently our CDs should have arrived a couple of weeks ago, they didn't so I will find out what happened to them | 14:26 |
| czajkowski | well lets not jump to alarm bells | 14:27 |
| czajkowski | they go out in bunches | 14:27 |
| apacketofsweets | or do they... | 14:27 |
| czajkowski | I'm sure they'll arrive soon | 14:27 |
| Pendulum | czajkowski: considering I've been hearing LoCo teams mention getting CDs for at least 2 weeks, I don't think an e-mail saying 'hey, it seems like a lot of other teams have gotten their CDs and I just wanted to make sure you'd received our order', is out of line | 14:29 |
| czajkowski | oh i know | 14:29 |

| apacketofsweets | has anybody managed to get a wireless modem working via USB? I seem to be having some trouble with my Three dongle. I've fiddled around with the network settings and even dnoe a little work in the terminal, but nothing. Anybody got an idea what could correct this issue? | 14:44 |
| danfish | apacketofsweets: what's the actual model of the modem? | 14:45 |
| apacketofsweets | it's a Huawei E5830 | 14:45 |
| danfish | I *think* that mounts as an external disk first | 14:46 |
| apacketofsweets | Thanks, I'll go investigate! | 14:47 |
| danfish | and you need to run somethink like usbmodeswitcher | 14:47 |

| Azelphur | anyone know how I'd go about debugging a hang on startup? | 14:57 |
| Azelphur | it was working, then I installed Ubuntu desktop :( | 14:57 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: computer startup? | 15:01 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: Try starting without the splash/quiet options | 15:01 |
| Azelphur | ok :p | 15:01 |
| MartijnVdS | you should get a load of messages across the screen that way :) | 15:01 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: it hangs at Starting NSM status monitor [ OK ] | 15:10 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: what's that? | 15:11 |
| Azelphur | no idea | 15:11 |
| Azelphur | if it's at all relevant, I'm netbooting :p | 15:11 |
| MartijnVdS | it's NFS-related | 15:11 |
| MartijnVdS | No idea what is it though | 15:11 |
| Azelphur | my netboot share is NFS | 15:11 |
| Azelphur | fun | 15:11 |
| MartijnVdS | never used that bit | 15:11 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: probably a hostname lookup failure or something like that | 15:12 |
| Azelphur | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/screenshots/May%202011/2011-05-22-151110_720x446_scrot.png | 15:12 |
| penguin42 | nfs root is a bit of a black art | 15:14 |
| * penguin42 hasn't done it for a while | 15:14 | |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: the pipefs bit might be related | 15:14 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: maybe | 15:15 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: How are you doing the root nfs - by passing root=/dev/nfs or by using an nfs mount in the initrd? | 15:15 |
| Azelphur | yea | 15:16 |
| Azelphur | DEFAULT vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-server root=/dev/nfs,rw initrd=initrd.img-2.6.38-8-server nfsroot=192.168.1.80:/nfsroot ip=dhcp rw | 15:16 |
| Azelphur | maybe I should just try a fresh install of Ubuntu on the nfs drive | 15:20 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: given the mumbling about nfsv4 you could try forcing the server down to nfsv3 | 15:21 |
| Azelphur | just got more messages, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/screenshots/May%202011/2011-05-22-152031_720x446_scrot.png | 15:21 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Also, there are alternatives - I did have iscsi root working on lucid; but it's broken on natty | 15:21 |
| Azelphur | took way more than 120 seconds for that to appear | 15:21 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: it did actually work, I installed ubuntu-desktop and it went up the wall | 15:21 |
| penguin42 | hmm odd | 15:23 |
| Azelphur | gonna try with a fresh installation of ubuntu desktop on /nfsroot | 15:27 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Looking at some notes, there is an option nfsrootdebug you can pass - not sure it will help | 15:29 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: The other thought if you've just put ubuntu-desktop in is whether it's picked up networkmanager and it's doing something evil to your networking | 15:30 |
| Azelphur | haha | 15:30 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: genius, your right. | 15:32 |
| Azelphur | got it to boot now :D | 15:32 |
| penguin42 | yeh! | 15:32 |
| Azelphur | a quick tweak in /etc/network/interfaces, and we're off. | 15:32 |
| * Azelphur hugs penguin42 | 15:32 | |
| penguin42 | so how many of the machines have you got on so far? | 15:34 |
| Azelphur | 1, now that I have netboot working we should bounce up to 4 pretty quickly :) | 15:34 |

| Laney | deleted a git clone before i'd pushed the patches | 16:44 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: that should give you a clue where to search :) | 16:44 |
| Azelphur | I see a difference, the main node has /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko but the netboot ones don't | 16:45 |
| Azelphur | guess I want the generic kernel :) | 16:45 |
| MartijnVdS | why are you netbooting anyway? | 16:46 |
| MartijnVdS | netboot = teh scarey | 16:46 |

| Azelphur | that's no doubt causing some breakage \o/ | 20:15 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Add no_root_squash to the export line on the server | 20:15 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: I already have that \o/ | 20:16 |
| penguin42 | hmph | 20:16 |
| Azelphur | /nfsroot *(rw,no_root_squash,async,insecure,no_subtree_check) | 20:16 |
| penguin42 | yeh that looks OK | 20:16 |
| Azelphur | but when I use cp -ax to the nfs share it spams "cp: failed to preserve ownership for <file>: invalid argument | 20:17 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: sounds like switching to nfsv3 like you said would be a good idea :D | 20:19 |
| Azelphur | although I'm not sure on how to switch to it | 20:19 |
| gord | awesome, my router password magically changed | 20:23 |
| Azelphur | gord: love it when that happens :D | 20:23 |
| gord | its like it asking me to replace it | 20:23 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598588 this looks like me :D | 20:24 |
| * penguin42 goes | 20:24 | |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: It could be NFSv4 ID mapping, it got clever - v3 and easier are pretty dumb | 20:25 |
| penguin42 | anyway, tv time | 20:26 |
| Azelphur | :) | 20:26 |
| Azelphur | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/662711 yay, this is exactly what I'm having \o/ | 20:28 |

| may88_ | #openpandora | 20:29 |
| may88_ | nope! I'm a stupid IRC newbie! | 20:29 |
| Azelphur | haha | 20:30 |
| may88_ | Hello world, Just installed xchat client | 20:31 |
| AlanBell | hello may88_ | 20:31 |
| may88_ | how do I get firebox to associate with xchat when I click on a link | 20:31 |
| may88_ | hello AlanBell | 20:31 |
| AlanBell | hope someone else bids on the monitor I am winning on ebay at the moment | 20:33 |
| gord | may88_, what happens when you click a link now? | 20:33 |
| gord | AlanBell, stop going on ebay after you have had a few drinks ;) | 20:33 |
| AlanBell | I put £25 on three different monitors in the hope that I might win one | 20:34 |
| AlanBell | picked up two this evening, and there are 30 minutes before I win another | 20:34 |
| gord | haha, oh dear | 20:34 |
| may88_ | gord: dialogue box saying firefox doesn't know what to run for IRC. | 20:35 |
| nigelb | AlanBell: what! isn't 25 GBP cheap? | 20:35 |
| gord | may88_, is that what it actually says? can you screenshot it? | 20:35 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | AlanBell: Are they LCD? What size/res? | 20:35 |
| AlanBell | nigelb: yeah, got one for £15 with some scratches, one £20 pretty much mint and the other is £21 at the moment | 20:36 |
| AlanBell | LCD 17 inch 1280x1024 | 20:36 |
| nigelb | wow | 20:36 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | VGA/DVI? | 20:36 |
| nigelb | AlanBell: well, you can use it at events with an arm board connected :p | 20:36 |
| AlanBell | the ones I got today have VGA and DVI | 20:36 |
| nigelb | just to display schedule or tweets or something | 20:36 |
| gord | AlanBell, get another one, have them in a 2x2 config, create the super monitor. | 20:37 |
| gord | i mean, in for a penny in for a pound | 20:37 |
| AlanBell | :) | 20:37 |
| may88_ | Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (irc) isn't associated with any program. | 20:37 |
| gord | and evidence shows you'll have a hard time selling the spares... | 20:37 |
| may88_ | Firefox doesn't seem to allow you to add an association and I can't find anything under the System menu (yet) | 20:38 |
| gord | ahh so the problem is you are clicking irc:// links | 20:38 |
| gord | they should open in firefox okay | 20:38 |
| AlanBell | may88_: preferences, applications, find content type irc, use the action dropdown | 20:39 |
| may88_ | irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/openpandora | 20:39 |
| may88_ | indeed | 20:39 |
| may88_ | but they don't | 20:39 |
| may88_ | I don't have an IRC application listed under Prefs->applications | 20:40 |
| AlanBell | odd | 20:40 |
| AlanBell | I have, it is offering to open them in mibbit | 20:41 |
| gord | i would guess its something that gets installed with the application, maybe xchat doesn't install one? | 20:41 |
| may88_ | maybe it's the way I installed it. | 20:41 |
| may88_ | just selected the package from synaptic PM. | 20:42 |
| may88_ | Seem to be no option in xchat to associate itself either. | 20:43 |
| may88_ | Is Xchat the best option for Ubuntu in your opinions? | 20:43 |
| may88_ | Bitchx seems to popular but I could not find that in the repo | 20:44 |
| gord | xchat isn't the default that we ship, i use it - but others prefer others, its down to taste really | 20:44 |
| gord | if its not in the repo's you shouldn't use it without a very good reason (tm) | 20:45 |
| may88_ | I know no different atm. Ignorance is bliss. | 20:46 |
| AlanBell | it is in .mozilla/firefox/<random string>/mimeTypes.rdf | 20:47 |
| may88_ | just need to suss how to hack the file association list... off to try a file manager | 20:47 |
| may88_ | ^okay - I'll look there. Cheers | 20:48 |
| AlanBell | who broke paste.ubuntu.com?? | 20:50 |
| AlanBell | "PHP and other Web scripts are not allowed" | 20:50 |
| AlanBell | well what is the *point* of it if you can't paste useful stuff! | 20:51 |
| AlanBell | may88_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/611553/ | 20:51 |
| AlanBell | that is it, but without <?xml version="1.0"?> at the top because paste.ubuntu.com is being silly | 20:52 |
| AlanBell | line 19 is the irc association | 20:52 |
| may88_ | thanks as I don't speak XML fluently. :p | 20:54 |
| AlanBell | http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320696483611 I am full of win | 21:05 |
| popey | eww 1280x1024 | 21:07 |
| AlanBell | better than 1024x768 | 21:08 |
| popey | debateable ☺ | 21:08 |
| AlanBell | well I now have 4 17 inch monitors for my kids | 21:10 |
| popey | haha | 21:10 |
| AlanBell | and 3 kids | 21:10 |
| Hornet- | so 1.333333333 monitors each? | 21:10 |
| AlanBell | and one of them has a laptop anyhow that doesn't need a monitor | 21:11 |
| AlanBell | one can go to mum & dad, they have a 15 inch 1024x768 at the moment | 21:11 |
| popey | hmm, I'll buy one off you | 21:12 |
| popey | save you wasting | 21:12 |
| popey | if you want | 21:12 |
| * dutchie looks at 23" sat in corner waiting for a suitable computer | 21:13 | |
| AlanBell | I might be able to rearrange things in a useful way | 21:13 |
| popey | ok, well if you have one spare, let me know | 21:13 |
| AlanBell | actually I like having a 4:3 monitor to use on the output of my projector | 21:13 |
| AlanBell | I will keep the £15 one with the bad scratches for that I think | 21:15 |
| * popey notes 1280x1024 isnt 4:3 ☺ | 21:16 | |
| popey | its 5:4 | 21:16 |
| popey | which is why it sucks | 21:16 |
| MartijnVdS | you could leave black bars | 21:16 |
| MartijnVdS | like TVs do | 21:16 |
| AlanBell | hmm, interesting | 21:21 |
| AlanBell | I will try one through the projector and see what happens | 21:21 |
| popey | (hence why I said eww 1280x1024 in the first place) | 21:25 |
| AlanBell | works just fine | 21:29 |
| AlanBell | 1024x768 fills the screen, guess the aspect ratio is slightly wrong when it does that | 21:29 |
| popey | yeah, you get oblong pixels | 21:30 |
| AlanBell | good enough for that purpose | 21:30 |
| gord | hrm, if you use apt-cache but upgrade a bunch of stuff at the same time, do they all pull the same cached content or does the cache only kick in once a file has been downloaded once | 21:36 |
| DJones | This bloke has had too much time on his hands http://www.peaceman.de/blog/index.php/lego-technic-super-8-movie-projector Now what did I do with my lego | 21:41 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | DJones: That's great - I've just sent that link to my 10yr old Lego mad son. But I had to explain what a projector was too... | 21:46 |
| DJones | TheOpenSourcerer: Heh, I wondered what would prompt somebody to think of building anything like that | 21:47 |
| * TheOpenSourcerer goes in search of some strong liquor to take to bed as he continues "The girl who kicked the Hornet's nest" | 21:47 | |
| may88_ | AlanBell: thanks for your help. Not working but errors differently. Giving up for now. | 22:20 |
