zmo_hi, how can i flush every "-i ethX" rules in my iptables ?10:15
brobostigonmorning everyone.10:15
=== Pendulum_ is now known as Pendulum
dwatkins!iptables10:27
lubotu3Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.10:27
MartijnVdSremoving all rules from a specific interface will require some scripting though10:27
* daubers likes jammy dodgers10:30
dwatkinsI thought it was just a case of flushing the tables (which I wouldn't reccomend on a system connected directly to the internet as it will make it insecure)10:30

MooDooah10:38
gordgot fed up with the google bar thing not being available all the time, so i made bookmarks of them all for my bookmark bar in firefox :) its worked out well10:45
waveformzmo_: here's a quick start which should dump the chain and rule-number of each rule which mentions eth[0-9]: iptables -L -n -v --line-numbers | awk '$1=="Chain" {chain=$2;} $7 ~ /eth[0-9]/ {print chain, $1;}'10:53
waveformgiven that they're rule numbers I'd pipe that through tac to reverse it (otherwise deletion will go a bit wrong) and pipe that with xargs to "iptables -D" (using the option for one invocation per line - can't remember what that is off-hand)10:54
zmo_waveform, thanks for  help, ive started to operate on the text with awk .. but i ve solve dedicating a chain to certain rules and doing iptables -X chain-name when done10:58
waveformah, -L is the thing you need for xargs, so something like this should do the trick: iptables -L -n -v --line-numbers | awk '$1=="Chain" {chain=$2;} $7 ~ /eth[0-9]/ {print chain, $1;}' | tac | xargs -L 1 echo iptables -D10:58
waveform(remove the echo to get it to actually execute - I just put it there to see what it'd do)10:58

Azelphurreviews say "It does not work as a USB charger" wtf but item title is Universal USB battery pack15:16
Azelphur:S15:16
gingthat charger 5000mah has 3x as big a battery as my phone15:16
gingi wonder how efficently it can deliver that charge into a phone15:17
gingAzelphur: might be that someone has tried to charge a phone that doesn't support charging via the usb port, i know a lot of nokias didn't used to15:17
AzelphurI see15:18
shaunomy nokia used to charge off 6v, not 5, so usb wouldn't work without a charge pump15:18
Azelphurging the main thing I'm worried about here is can I charge it while I'm using it15:18
Azelphurbecause if I can't I need to cancel the order :P15:18
hamitronmy nokia usb charger splits into 2, 1 end for data and other into the standard nokia power plug15:18
gingAzelphur: why wouldnt you be able to?15:19
Azelphurging because I can only see one socket on that thing15:19
gingAzelphur: oh so you want to be able to charge the external battery up while your charging your phone off of it?15:20
bigcalmDo they charge at USB speed or mains speed?15:21
Azelphurging exactly15:21
shaunomine won't do that; the phone charges, or the battery charges; not both together15:21
Azelphurging only s/phone/headset with mircousb socket15:21
popeybuy a UPS :D15:21
AzelphurHEADSET UPS!15:21
popeyplug phone charger into that15:21
Azelphurlol15:22
popeysomewhat overkill15:22
Azelphurpopey: only reason I don't have an UPS is because I don't think there's anything out there short of £10k units that'd be able to hold my system up for any sane amount of time15:22
popeyhah15:22
shaunothat's the one problem with mine; it charges faster than the mains adaptor.  makes my phone rather warm15:22
popeythe point of a UPS isnt to keep it up15:22
Azelphurhehe15:22
popeyits to stop it falling over15:22
popeyso you can shutdown nicely15:22
gingAzelphur: i don't really get it, you want to charge a head set off a portable power source but you need to be able to be charging that portable power source at the same time off of another power source, why do you need it at all?15:22
Azelphurpopey: yea I guess15:23
popeybut yeah, you could put one of your screens on it, rather than all15:23
popeyto reduce the load15:23
Azelphurging because sometimes the battery goes flat, when it does I still need to be able to use my headset.15:23
popeyyou need it on to provide net access?15:23
shaunoI prefer not to put screens on the ups at all.  if it's setup properly, the machine should hibernate when it gets the powerfail signal from the ups.15:23
popeysure15:24
* hamitron wonders how we have survived with no wireless gear for so long15:24
shaunoif you leave screens connected, it encourages people to screw around with it15:24
AzelphurI see, fun15:24
Azelphurging do you know if the trent thing can do it or not?15:24
gingAzelphur: well i'm guessing not but i still don't really understand what you are trying to do15:25
Azelphurging extend the battery life of my headset is the end goal15:25
Azelphurby sticking a battery to it.15:25
hamitronbe green and go solar15:26
hamitron:D15:26
hamitronA4 sized solar panel on top of your head15:26
gingoh so you just don't want the hassle of having to faff around switching plugs around between when you do have power and you don't ?15:26
Azelphurexactly15:26
gingi have a duel feed usb cable you could probably use something like that15:27
AzelphurI can see that the one popey linked definitely does it15:28
gingit was for my usb hard drive which draws more power than some usb ports provide so you can plug it into 2 usb ports15:28
Azelphurging I doubt sending power in and out on a splitter cable would end well15:28
shaunoI think he means taking two ports worth of power from the original powersource15:29
gingi think it would work fine, i recon they are all just hard wired together15:29
Azelphuroh15:29
ali1234derp15:29
Azelphurno I don't want 2 ports of power from the original power source15:29
ali1234power doesn't work like that15:29
gingshauno: yeah that's what it's for but i think he could use 1 to do what he want to do15:29
ali1234especially if it has a lithium battery15:29
Azelphurali1234 indeed :P15:29
ali1234which it probably does15:29
shaunoeg, usb2 is meant to be 500mA; if your headset is expecting 500mA to charge from, and the battery is expecting 500mA to charge from, you can't just have 500mA from the source15:29
ali1234the charging input draws however much current it draws15:30
ali1234if it tries to draw more than 500mA the USB port stops working15:30
Azelphurbasically I want to do PC USB > Battery > Headset internal battery15:30
ali1234if it doesn't and you connect it to a 1000mA source it still will only draw 500mA15:30
Azelphurso Battery keeps headset charged15:30
Azelphurand when all the batteries run out, I can still charge it while using it with USB15:31
hamitronali1234++15:31
hamitronalthough, USB 3.0 provides more power, as do some USB 2.0 ports15:31
hamitronif the device needs that power15:32
gingali1234: i think the cable i have is for when things like laptops cannot provide the full 500mA15:32
mfraz74i did hear that there's going to be another usb standard that can provide even more power15:32
MartijnVdSthe Philips one can charge laptops15:32
ali1234Azelphur: just google for usb battery pack15:33
shaunoI wouldn't leave my battery tethered long-term.  it has 1.6A on the output, which tends to make things a lil toasty15:33
MartijnVdSshauno: most phones stop charging if they're >90% and too hot15:34
Azelphurali1234 yea I just ordered one then someone pointed out to me I might not be able to charge it while it's charging the headset15:34
Azelphurwhich would be bad :(15:34
ali1234i doubt it15:34
MartijnVdSshauno: (to cool down a little before continuing charging)15:34
Azelphurali1234 you think it won't be able to or it will?15:34
ali1234it will15:34
Azelphurcool15:34
ali1234that would be like "you can't use your laptop while you charge the battery"15:34
MartijnVdSali1234: I've had one laptop like that15:35
ali1234broken, you mean?15:35
Azelphurali1234 indeed, thing is I only see one socket on this charger15:35
MartijnVdSali1234: no wait, that was "while you chaNge the battery"15:35
MartijnVdSas in, swap out15:35
hamitronMartijnVdS: remind me to never buy something you have ;)15:35
mfraz74Been trying out Oneiric this morning on my netbook and I notice that my network connection was 65mbps, does that mean it is using wireless 'N"15:35

ali1234buy two15:43
hamitronwhy highlight me? :|15:43
hamitronblame ali123415:43
hamitron;)15:43
hamitrontbh, I think a better thing would be a heavier usb cable to your comp, so you don't break it15:45
Azelphurali1234 buy two for more pricey, 6x the weight and still not as good? D:15:45
hamitronbatteries never last as long as cables15:45
ali1234whatever15:45
Azelphurlol15:45
Azelphurhamitron exactly why I bought a wireless headset, so I don't break the cable15:45
hamitrongo to a DIY store, buy cable for an Iron, and use that15:46
popeyeh15:46
Azelphurhehe :)15:47
popeyyou bought a wireless headset but you're goijng to plug wire into it?15:47
hamitronhooked up to your USB ofc, not the mains15:47
ali1234no buy that armoured cable for sheds15:47
hamitron;/15:47
hamitronali1234: yeh15:47
hamitron:)15:47
Azelphurpopey: no, I'm trying to avoid plugging a wire into it for as long as possible15:47
Azelphurwhich is generally the goal with wireless :P15:47
popeyhow long does it normally last?15:47
ali1234buy a tesla coil15:47
Azelphuraround 5 hours15:47
ali1234wireless electricity15:47
ali1234problem solved15:47
Azelphurideally I'd like to bump it up to 20 or so15:47
hamitronouuu, I may go play C&C red alert15:47
Azelphurthen I can just charge it overnight, and be happy15:47
popeyhow much was the headset?15:48
Azelphur£7015:48
popeybuy another one15:48
hamitron:D15:48
Azelphurwat o.O15:48
popeyleave it plugged in15:48
ali1234that's not a bad idea actually just buy two headsets and then swap every 8 hours15:48
popeywhen battery dies in one you're using, swap15:48
popeyyup15:48
Azelphurhaha15:48
Azelphurexpensive though, I won't get another one for £7015:48
popeyplug both in overnight15:48
popeypffft15:48
AzelphurI only got this one because I found a guy who had it as part of a hardware bundle and didn't want it15:48
Azelphurthey are usually £14015:48
Azelphurlots more expensive than a phone charger and a piece of velcro :D15:49
hamitronwhat was wrong with that beefy USB charger?15:49
gordi'v stopped trusting anything wireless recently, wireless is becoming another way of saying "will cut out sometimes and annoy the crap out of you"15:49
Azelphurhamitron I'm not sure if I can charge it while it's charging the headset15:49
popeyreminds me, I have 6 wifi dongles, what shall I do with them? ☺15:49
popey(usb ones)15:49
hamitronAzelphur: to do so would mean plugging it in!!!!!!!!!!!!15:49
Azelphurhamitron correct15:50
popeymake a portable wifi cracking unit? :D15:50
AzelphurI want the option of plugging it in when the battery is dead15:50
Azelphurrather than "haha no sound for you"15:50
hamitronAzelphur: buy a USB cable for your headset then15:50
hamitron:/15:50
ali1234wireless is dumb anyway15:50
ali1234it never works15:50
Azelphurhamitron I have one, I just want to bump the life up15:50
Azelphur:D15:50
hamitronyou can charge the external battery seperately15:50
Azelphurbut I don't wanna have to take it off :(15:50
hamitronthen power the headset with usb15:50
hamitronthen why use velcro?15:51
hamitron:|15:51
ali1234this whole idea sucks15:51
Azelphurlol15:51
Azelphurlies15:51
Azelphuronly thing that's blocking is I'm not sure if I can charge while charging15:51
ali1234just buy a normal cabled headset15:51
Azelphurthis whole idea is fine, don't hate my idea D:15:51
hamitrondedicated professionals use wires15:52
hamitron\o/15:52
Azelphurand this headset is great, wireless never cuts out and sound quality is really nice lol15:52
Azelphurjust want to bump the life up a bit more with a little hack :)15:52
popeyi bought a pair of hd212 pro headphones, and when the cable broke, got a new cable, win.15:52
gordso the problem with normal cabled headsets is that the wires get everywhere, you trip up on them, they get in the way and eventually, you snap them. so put the wire on a spring spindle or something that reels in the slack15:52
gordproblem solved!15:52
hamitronor hook it from the ceiling15:53
hamitron:D15:53
MartijnVdSOr just stop moving around while you're wearing them15:53
popeyloop it round your neck to take up the slack15:53
hamitronyeh, Azelphur: you will never perfect them dance moves anyway15:53
popeyhe has 24 screens, he can't not move15:53
hamitronhehe15:54
hamitronthat is actually true15:54
hamitron:/15:54
Azelphursent a question to tecknet asking if I can do it15:55
Azelphur:D15:55
MartijnVdSooh, multiarch on oneiric15:55
MartijnVdSI can now install package:i386 and it works15:55
hamitronmultiarch?15:56
MartijnVdShamitron: I can install i386 packages on amd64.. apparently it's called that15:56
hamitronoh15:56
hamitronso oneiric still needs an i68615:56
hamitron:/15:56
MartijnVdSno15:56
hamitronno?15:57
MartijnVdSwell yes15:57
MartijnVdSbut the packages are called "i386"15:57
MyrttiAFAIK multiarch doesn't mean that you can install i386 packages on amd6415:57
Myrttiit means that the multiarch package contains versions for both i386 and amd6415:57
hamitronMartijnVdS: stupid people labelling stuff wrong15:57
hamitron:/15:57
MartijnVdSMyrtti: I just did.. apt-get install libcurl-gnutls:i386 -> it installed, and flash started working again15:57
Myrtticorrect me if I am (probably) wrong15:57
MartijnVdSMyrtti: there are 2 debs, and they're installed side-by-side15:58
hamitronslackware labels stuff i486 for i486, ubuntu and centos label i686 as i38615:58
hamitron:/15:58
Myrttiwhat a wonderfully messed up way of doing things15:58
Myrttioh well15:58
MartijnVdSMyrtti: with the same package name, so with dpkg -L you need to include the architecture (or it'll show only the contents of the "amd64" version)15:58
=== seeker_ is now known as seeker
Laneywhy is that messed up?16:30
ali1234there is no such thing as i58516:30
ali1234i mean i68616:31
ali1234oh and btw Myrtti you are completely wrong16:32
MartijnVdSthe old was was more messed-up16:32
ali1234the old way was to put i386 versions of every library ever made in ia32-libs16:32
ali1234creating a package with several gigabytes of source that just duplicates a bunch of stuff that already exists16:33
ali1234the new way is you just install the i386 package that already exists16:33
ali1234for only the libs you need16:33
kazademore info: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch :)16:34
ali1234that webpage actually has less info than i've just given16:34
HazRPGali1234: heh, nice one with the video dude :)16:34
HazRPGjust spotted that email for the bug16:35
ali1234i had to watch an hour long video of the guy explaining it to determine what multiarch actually is, because that wiki page is so useless16:35
Myrttiali1234: hardly completely wrong, there's plenty of things that I know I'm right about... just to nitpick16:35
Myrttiali1234: but this time, perhaps on this subject, yes16:35
judgeyI changed my named server and when i whois it its pointing at the new ns but when i load it up in firefox its stil going to the old server17:11
StevenRjudgey: can you be more precise as to what you changed?17:25
judgeyi moving servers, i changed the named servers for my domain to goto the new server that was about 20 hours ago and its saying in "whois my domian" that the new named servers are listed but its still going to my old server when i go on firfox17:26
bigcalmjudgey: dig @your.isps.name.server your.domain.name17:27
bigcalmYour ISP might have a horrible cache time on the record17:27
judgeyif i give u the domain could see if u can see it?17:28
judgeyhost2k10.info17:28
bigcalmSure17:28
judgeyshould say "it works"17:28
bigcalm91.121.81.217 is the IP I get from host17:28
judgeythats the old one17:29
judgey:|17:29
bigcalmhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/670248/17:29
bigcalmThat's what I see in the browser17:29
judgeyyer thats the old server17:29
judgeyjust keep waiting?17:29
bigcalmwhois host2k10.info17:30
bigcalmTells me17:30
bigcalmName Server:NS.KIMSUFI.COM17:30
bigcalmName Server:KS384479.KIMSUFI.COM17:30
judgeythats the new17:30
judgeyserver17:30
bigcalmhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/670249/17:30
bigcalmIs what I get from dig17:31
bigcalmSo the nameserver is pointing at the old IP address17:31
judgeybut if u goto KS384479.KIMSUFI.COM17:31
judgeyits the new server17:31
bigcalmThere's no reference to 46.105.123.125 in the dns record17:34
judgeywould should i do bigcalm17:35
bigcalmYou need to change the A record from 91.121.81.217 to 46.105.123.12517:35
bigcalmAnd, unless the new server really is the 2nd nameserver, remove it from the name server list17:36
judgeyi thought it was meant to be 1st17:38
bigcalmWho hosts the DNS record?17:38
judgeyovh17:39
judgeyi changed it anyhow17:39
judgeyNameserver 1: NS.KIMSUFI.COM17:39
judgeyNameserver 2 : KS384479.KIMSUFI.COM17:40
bigcalmOVH should have told you what IP addresses or host names to use for 1st, 2nd (and possibly 3rd, 4th) name servers within the domain registry record.17:40
judgeyyer the 2 above17:41
bigcalmYou would then alter the DNS record on OVH's server to point host2k10.info at 46.105.123.125 as an 'A' record17:41
judgeyoky i shalll play thx for heads up :)17:42
bigcalmHave fun17:42
judgeyheh17:42
bigcalmThe TTL is set for 24 hours, so you might be waiting a while again :(17:42
judgeyomg omg lol no probs ill play with somthing eles then17:43
bigcalmIf you can lower the TTL for your DNS records (14400 for example is 4 hours), then you will have less of a wait the next time you need to make a change17:45
judgeydone17:46
judgeywaiting game now17:47

diploEvening all20:24
MartijnVdS\o diplo20:24
HazRPGprobably outside of the scope of this channel... but am I right in thinking that 16bit flac files, are equal to (if not exactly) the same as a CD file... and 24bit flac is essentially only available from the studio that's doing the recording20:47
MartijnVdSHazRPG: Studios, or some artists offer them on their site20:48
MartijnVdSHazRPG: I've had a 24-bit flac download free with an LP once20:48
MartijnVdSHazRPG: also, DVD-Audio is 24-bit (but lossy).. lossless BD-Audio is also 24-bit20:49
MartijnVdSit's not useful to encode CD audio as anything >44100/2ch/16bit, as that's how it's encoded on the disc :)20:49
ali1234stupid nokia20:50
ali1234not only do they want me to sign up for ovi before i can update20:50
ali1234they also refuse to update a phone without a sim in it20:50
HazRPGMartijnVdS: indeed... I was just looking into it, because I noticed that FLAC in banshee only has one profile for it20:50
HazRPGbut it makes sense, and I'm guessing Banshee just rips at full CD available quality20:51
MartijnVdSHazRPG: DVD-Audio and BD-Audio ripping isn't available in Linux, afaik20:51
HazRPGI think I saw some experimental methods back when I was looking into PS3 hacks, but not sure if anything ever came of them or not20:52
MartijnVdSHazRPG: you have to rip the special DVD-Audio track though, not the "normal" DVD-video-with-audio one20:54
MartijnVdSHazRPG: (DVD-Audio is special like that)20:55
HazRPGDVD-Audio also never really took off as much as CD's have ^_^20:56
MartijnVdSno, because they mostly released concerts20:56
HazRPGI've only ever seen one DVD-Audio disc in the music shop here20:56
MartijnVdSI have several concerts on DVD-Audio, but I can't play the DVD-A part20:56
HazRPGand even then it was literally a batch of 10 that they had... and when I went back the next day, they were sold out, and weren't planning on getting anymore20:56
MartijnVdSonly the video track (with the same concert, but with video)20:56
MartijnVdSBut I want 7.1 surround studio albums! :)20:57
HazRPGMe too :)20:57
MartijnVdSImagine minimal techno with surround20:57
HazRPGor at least 5.1 (cos that's what my current gear is)20:57
MartijnVdS5.1 is good enough, yes20:57
HazRPG:)20:57
HazRPGalways feels a shame that the only time I get to fully utilise my 5.1 is with either movies... or games with 5.1 enabled for their sound20:58
HazRPGoh wait no!20:58
HazRPGI recall one version of winamp that started getting 5.1 support, and it came with 2 free 5.1 tracks!20:58
HazRPGone of them was "winamp, winamp, winamp, it really whips the llamas ass... from every direction!"20:59
HazRPGthe other was some unknown artist20:59
MartijnVdSheh21:00
HazRPGindeed21:02
MartijnVdSI have a concert on bluray as well21:08
MartijnVdSquality = ++++21:08

HazRPGbah, wrong box ^_^21:09
HazRPGthat was meant for the ssh terminal ^_^21:09

MartijnVdSHazRPG: had one for 10 years, never owned a car before :)21:15
MartijnVdSHazRPG: this one is currently my sister's21:16
HazRPGI suppose if you've never had a need for a car, makes sense :)21:17
HazRPGdoes that mean you'll be driving to the UK next time :P?21:18
MartijnVdSI might be tempted to take a boat21:18
HazRPG:P21:18
MartijnVdSAllows me to go to someplace other than London more easily21:19

gordtrains exist? *mind blown*21:19
HazRPGwas an unintentional pun, but yeah :)21:19
