| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 14:01 |
| * genii-around makes coffee | 15:46 | |
| === bregma_ is now known as bregma | ||
| * BobJonkman craves a coffee from genii-around | 16:10 | |
| * genii-around slides BobJonkman a very tasty and strongly brewed coffee, just cooled off enough to be perfect for drinking | 16:12 | |
| * BobJonkman adulterates genii-around's excellent coffee by adding a dollop of cream | 16:12 | |
| genii-around | :) | 16:12 |
| BobJonkman | "a dollop of cream" - what else is measured in dollops? | 16:13 |
| genii-around | Not sure.. but there are some interesting ways to measure stuff. My grandma always says like: 3 glugs of molasses for recipes, etc | 16:14 |
| BobJonkman | Dollops are also for mud and fat men: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dollop | 16:15 |
| genii-around | Heh | 16:15 |
| BobJonkman | There's also "jiggers" | 16:16 |
| BobJonkman | distinct from "chiggers" | 16:16 |
| BobJonkman | Wouldn't want to get those two mixed up | 16:17 |
| * genii-around contemplates hogsheads and other quaint systems | 16:18 | |
| BobJonkman | Sadly, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jigger doesn't have a definition as a unit of measure. | 16:18 |
| BobJonkman | As in "a jigger of rum" | 16:18 |
| genii-around | Probably some nautical cup size... | 16:19 |
| BobJonkman | I can see why "hogshead" fell out of favour. Any time you try to measure something it would just pour out the eyes and nostrils | 16:19 |
| * BobJonkman should be getting back to work now | 16:20 | |
| * BluesKaj tries to find documentation or a tutorial for a way in thru the bell pvr ethernet port | 16:20 | |
| BobJonkman | BluesKaj: Looking to get an Internet connection through your satellite from the PVR ethernet? | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | jigger=1.5 ounces of liquor | 16:21 |
| * BobJonkman would hire BluesKaj for genii-around's coffee bar in a jiffy | 16:22 | |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: Is it the pve plus? | 16:23 |
| genii-around | *pvr | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | BobJonkman, I have a bell 9242 and would like to addit to the home network , TiVo style ..there's a site that promotes python scripts for running TiVos on a home network , but I can't find the equivalent for the Bell pvr | 16:23 |
| BobJonkman | So you just want to control the PVR or view the contents. | 16:24 |
| BobJonkman | Sadly, I have no experience with either Bell or PVRs | 16:25 |
| BobJonkman | It would be interesting to get an Internet connection using the PVR as a router to the satellite connection, though | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | BobJonkman, yes, but mostly I'd like to be able to add or copy content back and forth between the networked pcs and the pvr ..but due to encryption I somehow doubt that's even feasable | 16:26 |
| BobJonkman | Likely, your PVR is locked up, and Bell holds the keys. | 16:26 |
| genii-around | I wonder if it uses snmp | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | BobJonkman, genii-around , I haven't begun my research in ernest yet , but the lack of info even in google and the digitalhome sitr is discouraging so far | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | I used to use a 9200 , but got this 9242 with remote access capability , as a swap out due to the change over from MPEG2 to MPEG4 codec/compression that Bell is switching to . | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | I have a SD TiVo that i used on our home network, it was neat to be able copy content down loaded off the internet to the TiVo. Now I just use a home pc media server instaed , but it would be nice to have option copy files to pc from the pvr in case we run out of room on the HDD. | 16:41 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: You could always isolate it from the internet but hooking it to a router that gives it an IP but doesn't go to internet, then poke at it a bit with like nmap to see what ports are open on the thing. | 17:39 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, yeah I was thinking that too, just need an another ethernet cable to connect it up | 17:47 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: It must use some kind of method to talk to Bells servers for the remotepvr stuff to work | 17:51 |
| genii-around | I wonder if you hooked it to a box with webserver and dhcp server, what the webserver access logs would look like | 17:53 |
| willwh | hey guys | 17:56 |
| willwh | so you know I was saying I had an issue with screen sessions | 17:57 |
| willwh | if you'll forgive me just talking out loud | 17:57 |
| willwh | I did a reinstall, running 11.10 server now | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, what method should I use to connect the pvr to my other box ? | 17:57 |
| willwh | I am still seeing the same issue | 17:57 |
| willwh | I have a running screen session, and when I open a new term inside it, I end up at, willwh@web:(unreachable)/$ | 17:58 |
| willwh | if I do an ls though, I am in my /home/willwh | 17:58 |
| willwh | which is really odd.. | 17:58 |
| willwh | I am not sure how to try to troubleshoot this, or get some help | 17:59 |
| willwh | anyone have any ideas? | 17:59 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: If you have a webserver/dhcp server on said box and want to probe it? Probably a crossover cable | 18:01 |
| genii-around | Work, back in a while | 18:05 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, no webserver or dhcp server on the other box..it's strictly a kubuntu box with static IP in network interfaces and dns nameserver IPs in resolv.conf , no NM | 18:07 |
| willwh | most of the pvrs are out there are really locked down | 18:09 |
| willwh | I have a pace pvr (shaw) - everything disabled 'cept for the sata port :( | 18:09 |
| willwh | usb/cat5/etc - all dead :/ | 18:09 |
| willwh | probably be better with a capture card | 18:09 |
| willwh | and run mythtv | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | willwh, the bell pvr has an ethernet port for remote accessing the record and guide settiings , but so far I see nothing about copying anyprogramming toa pc via ahome network setup as backup or overflow from the pvr hdd | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | HD capture cards are rare birds indeed | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | mythtv is unecessary , mencoder can copy files if one uses the right strings | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | willwh, I fear that the content is encrypted by a method that's unavailble/proprietary anyway | 18:24 |
| willwh | most likely yes | 18:24 |
| willwh | any ideas on my issue above BluesKaj ? | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | willwh, sorry i don't understand it ...are you opening a terminal inside a folder or directly from the menu ? | 18:25 |
| willwh | well, no, I ssh to my server | 18:26 |
| willwh | where I have irssi running in screen | 18:26 |
| willwh | inside a screen session, you can do, ctrl + a, c, to open a new term inside the screen session | 18:26 |
| willwh | now - the weird thing is - it doesn't happen after starting a fresh screen session | 18:27 |
| willwh | just after some time | 18:27 |
| willwh | it seems to puke | 18:27 |
| willwh | I cannot for the life of me, understand it :\ | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | willwh, , why not just open another prompt with ctrl+alt+F2 or 3 , or is this not suitable? | 18:29 |
| willwh | well - I'm logging in to a remote box | 18:29 |
| willwh | it's just that my irssi logging dies after a while too | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | over the 'net or Lan ? | 18:30 |
| willwh | both | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | sorry, no experience with internet ssh , only lan | 18:31 |
| BluesKaj | brb | 18:35 |
| dscassel | willwh: I've had the same problem. Haven't had the time to figure out what's going on, though. | 18:48 |
| dscassel | Let me know if you find a fix... | 18:48 |
| willwh | dscassel: I don't even know where to start tbh | 18:49 |
| willwh | really annoying though! | 18:49 |
| dscassel | Yeah. :/ | 18:49 |
| BluesKaj | looks like a daemon is timing out or something | 18:50 |
| willwh | i.e. I am not sure how I even bug report it | 18:50 |
| willwh | or where to start digging | 18:50 |
| willwh | so frustrating | 18:50 |
| BluesKaj | you guys still use network manager ? | 18:50 |
| dscassel | I'd switch to Quassel, but I can't find a way to turn off join, parts, quits, etc. | 18:50 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: Yup. | 18:50 |
| willwh | I wouldn't | 18:50 |
| willwh | I have far too many custom scripts for irssi | 18:50 |
| willwh | and I can't be arsed rewriting ;) | 18:50 |
| BluesKaj | willwh, are you irssi'd on the remote machine? sounds dumb I know but I have to ask | 18:52 |
| willwh | BluesKaj: yup, irrsi runs in a screen session on the remote machine | 18:53 |
| BluesKaj | what exactly is a screen session ? | 18:54 |
| willwh | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 18:56 |
| willwh | :] | 18:56 |
| willwh | back shortly | 18:56 |
| willwh | dscassel: around? | 22:06 |
| willwh | http://pastie.org/2911278 | 22:08 |
| willwh | interestingly, look at the path it's supposed to be at, ~willwh/public_html/play/index.php | 22:08 |
| willwh | how the france did willwh get stuffed in there | 22:08 |
