=== atrus` is now known as atrus
darkxstatrus, maybe the black screen is fixed now?04:49
Ponch0hey guys I'm having 1 issue and 1 question, one when I'm trying to update through software updater, it crashes or rather just stops updating halfway through04:52
Ponch0and 2 when I shut down I see a message pop up that says -- root broadcast unknown -- something to that effect, what does that mean?04:52
darkxstfile a bug against software updater, we don't touch that04:53
darkxstI have no idea, but wouldnt worry to much about the message04:53
Ponch0allright, thank you.04:59
Ponch0is there a way to update the available updates through terminal?04:59
darkxstPonch0, 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade'05:04
darkxstor use synaptic if you want a GUI for it05:04
Ponch0darkxt: thanks I just tried to do it through terminal and am getting some messages... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)05:05
Ponch0E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/05:05
darkxstsoftware updater must still be running? or USC?05:06
Ponch0nope software updater crashed, but I guess it's somewhere in the background05:06
darkxst'killall update-manager;05:06
darkxstoh that might not work, since its a python script05:07
Ponch0yeah it didn't I guess I should restart, and just run it through terminal.05:07
Ponch0before trying software updater05:08
darkxstjust kill it!05:08
darkxstps ax | grep update-manager05:08
darkxstkill -9 <first number on previous line>05:08
Ponch0ps ax - 4271 pts/3    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto update-manager05:09
darkxst kill -9 427105:09
Ponch0thank u !05:10
Ponch0bash: kill: (4271) - No such process05:10
darkxsthmm its already kill'ed then05:11
darkxstoh that like was not really update-manager running, it was the grep command05:11
Ponch0ok apt-get update works I guess one of the previous lines worked even tho they all kicked back an error05:11
Ponch0and sudo apt-get upgrade gave me this - The following packages have been kept back: gvfs-common.05:13
darkxstthe upgrade dependency resolver is very conservative05:14
Ponch0ok awesome ran software updater and it worked, came back saying my computer is up to date, thanks for the help.05:15
Ponch0let me try ubuntu to see if anyone knows about this root message.05:16
Ponch0darkxt - you're the man btw! but one last question, how do I check which display manager I'm using?05:18
darkxstps ax | grep gdm05:20
darkxstif you get a whole bunch of output you are running gdm05:21
darkxstotherwise probably lightdm05:21
darkxstif you installed from ubuntu gnome images then you will be using gdm05:21
Ponch0a bunch of gdm messages popped up in red so I guess it's that one05:22
darkxstyeh, gdm is a grey thing, that looks just like the shell lock screen05:22
Ponch0yup that's it, the reason I asked is because the updates that were freezing up, were trying to update lightdm, i'm curious if it had somehting to do with that.05:25
darkxstno shouldn't, they can peacefully co-exist at the same time05:33
darkxstjust only one can be actually active05:33
Ponch0Ok, also I have UFW on, and I have logs with a lot of blocked TCP OUT messages, it's set to default.  Is that normal?05:35
darkxstwould have thought it only blocks IN by default05:36
Ponch0[UFW BLOCK] IN=wlan0 OUT=05:37
darkxstbut not really sure what 'default' consists of!05:37
Ponch0haha ok05:37
Ponch0I think you're right about the IN, would be default block05:37
Ponch0are there any security apps recommended with min to no config I should have in gnome?05:38
Ponch0so I looked up a random IP from the OUT block list --- www.amazon.com05:54
Ponch0so amazon is trying to pull my info05:55
darkxsthmm, unity uses amazon search by default, but that doesnt exist in shell06:11
darkxstPonch0, if you are behind a NAT'ed router, then you don't really need any security apps06:12
darkxstif your machine is connected directly to the internet, then yes run a firewall06:12
darkxstufw should be fine06:13
Ponch0I'm not really tech savvy but one of the IP addresses is this website and it has something to do with DDoS? and i'm confused as to why06:18
Ponch0that06:18
Ponch0their website http://www.sharktech.net/06:18
darkxstis your machine connected directly to the internet? or via a router06:22
Ponch0router.06:23
darkxstso a ddos would take down your router pretty quickly, but wont affect your computer unless you have DMZ or uPnp enabled06:24
darkxstbut even still consumer routers don't really handle lots of connections well, so it will most likely just crash06:25
Ponch0um ok? but i don't think they ddos, i think they protect from it, from what I understand so I'm not sure why they're in the logs06:25
darkxstPonch0, possibly they had ads somehwere?06:26
Ponch0aah friggin ads!06:26
Ponch0that's right!06:26
Ponch0I have adblock on mozilla06:26
Ponch0i'm paranoid lol thanks for dealing with me06:28
Ponch0have a good night/day06:31
darkxstricotz, changed your mind on spidermonkey in the ppa yet?08:12
darkxstwe have an official js17 tarball and a stable gjs-js17 branch ;)08:19
ricotzdarkxst, i see, it will still need a custom gjs-js17 tarball, but i guess this would be fine with the benefits we gain with it08:39
dupondjeEmpathy works for somebody ?18:06
