popeyMorning all08:37
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: I work the same way08:38
SuperMattmorning Alan08:38
andrewebdevMooDoo, I use many critical webapps for my work, and I always have those tabs pinned in Chrome08:38
MartijnVdSWhen I'm on a "project" I can get to 20 tabs or so.. but then I start closing them08:38
popeyI have a chromium user for each "personality" I have ☻08:38
popeyhome, work, uupc, and various odd twitter accounts08:38
popeyI only have home open in the evening, with the work one open all day08:38
SuperMattI still can't decide which browser to use08:38
SuperMattwhich one is winning in the firefox/chromium debate right now?08:38
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: yes.08:39
MooDoochrome will do me, although I heard chromium is going to be default in the next ubuntu release?08:39
popeywith home and work only open I have  77 tabs open08:39

MooDoo?08:40
SuperMattI don't know08:40
popeya discussion was started on that08:40
SuperMattbut it hasn't been finished?08:40
popeyi dunno if the switch has been made08:41
MooDoodo what MS did, don't install any browser, let the user install the one they want to use :D08:41
popeygiven chromium is still in universe, unlikely08:41
mungbeanSuperMatt: researching a topic08:42
mungbeanlots of resources and wiki pages08:42
mungbeanall important to keep open08:42
mungbeanuntil finished the work08:42
brobostigonalso, chromium in my experience has always not really been kept upto date and recent, which is anther issue.08:42
mungbeanabout:memory hangs when i run it on firefox :(08:43
mungbeanevery couple of releases they say...new release is awesome and fixes all memory issues!08:43
mungbeanfaster than chrome!08:43
mungbeanhmm...must be a memory leak somewhere...closed most apps and running 2.8GB used08:45
popeythe performance is secondary, it's the multi-profile stuff in chromium i like08:45
popeywhich firefox doesn't seem to have08:45

mungbeani usually get chronic hayfever but not this year \o/08:50
JamesTaitbrobostigon, o/08:50
SuperMatton the browser wars, I love Firefox's ethos, I like chrom*'s new webapps thingy, don't like that chromium takes a little while to get updates, and don't like chrome's extreme ties to google08:50
JamesTaitMooDoo, I don't suffer from hay fever, but can relate to the other two. ;)08:50
brobostigonmy hey fever is pretty bad, my nose is sore and feels like a fountain.08:50
SuperMattMaybe the answer is in using chromium for webapps and firefox for browsing08:50
MooDooJamesTait: :)08:50
mungbeanif you use the ctrl-K to search in firefox, are you sending most of your data to google anyway?08:51
SuperMattI was seriously considering last night switching my searches over to yahoo08:51

mungbeani raised an email ticket about an issue09:46
mungbeanfew weeks ago09:46
diploHi guys, got a reseller account with a web host, trying to scp some files from one user to another on the same box but cgetting ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host so I guess they have a sshd setting to disallow it, any other thoughts on copying a dir of images from one user to another to save me downloading/uploading a few hundred meg of images09:50
MooDoodiplo: who's the host?09:50
diploCompila.com09:50
MooDoodiplo: ah ok09:50
diploFairly shite, could probably ask them to do something but by the time they look at my ticket I could do it myself, tried su but thats denied as well. Think I'm out of options :)09:51
* diplo can't wait till I order my dedicated server and run it myself!09:52
czajkowskiif folks are running saucy and a a dropbox fan you may run into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1193522  just a heads up09:52
lubotu3Launchpad bug 1193522 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in gtk_action_get_name()" [Medium,Confirmed]09:52
czajkowskiyou will need to use it via the web09:52
* AlanBell has run into that09:53
AlanBellone reason to ditch the dropbox and switch to sparkleshare09:53
czajkowskiwell I use U1 for everything tbh09:54
czajkowskibut I do need dropbox for work so I'll just use the web09:54
AlanBellI had huge problems with U1 file sync, never worked properly for me09:54
diploAlanBell: Do you store many binary files in sparkleshare ?09:55
AlanBellit is just nautilus that crashes with dropbox at the moment, you can open stuff from libreoffice file-open dialog or whatever09:55
AlanBelldiplo: sure, 6.3G of stuff apparently09:56
diploI read ages ago the downside for sparkleshare because it uses git was the replication takes a lot more space because of the binary data ?09:57
AlanBellactually that is over counting it, probably 3G or so for stuff09:57
dwatkinsyou know you've been away from the command line for too long when instead of typing 'apt-get' you type 'rpm'...09:57
AlanBellthe .git directory is 2.8G09:57
DJonesHeh, Either the Huaweu Ascen Y210 is a pretty poor phone, or the Talk Talk network must be pretty poor for them to be giving the phones away for free on a 2 year contract costing only £1.25/month for the 1st 6mths and even then it only goes up to £5/mth and thats with 100 minutes, 250 texts and 100Mb of data09:58
AlanBellso yes, there is more metadata, but I have a local full history tree, and I don't really care about space that much09:58
AlanBellDJones: the Huawei Y300 is a rather good phone, dunno about the Y21009:59
MartijnVdSAnd, instead of the NSA listening in, you get the Chinese version!09:59

DJonesAndroid 2.3......10:00
DJonesThat may explain it10:01
popeycrusty10:01
AlanBellit will work fine for a lot of people10:01
DJonesI guess for somebody looking for a basic phone it would be ideal though10:01
DJonesI was tempted to have a closer look at it for my wife, she hates her current phone10:03
Garyit'd work well for a phone for kids I think10:03
DJonesNah, its only 100 minutes & 250 texts, that'd be used inside the first day10:04
mungbeani use about 3 minutes per month10:04
mungbeanand 10 texts10:04
davmor2Morning all10:05
mungbeanthe difference between android 2.3 and later versions is not that great10:05
popeyi installed an app on my android phone to keep track of usage10:05
popeyit's rather good10:05
mungbeanmy giffgaff network automatically does that10:05
Garyah, yeah it's a contract.  I've got my fosterkid a payg sim from giffgaff and pay a set tenner a month for a goodybag, if he goes over he loses the ability to call till the next cycle10:05
davmor2popey: watchdog?10:05
popeyOnavo10:05
AlanBelldepending on the kids in question the contract would be fine, but bigger screen is good for games10:05
DJonesIT'd be perfect my parents, they each have a mobile phone, 95% of the time they leave it in a drawer at home, the 5% of the time they take it with them, they only switch it on when they want to send a text/make a call and then turn it off again10:06
mungbeangary, i'm on the 7.50 giffgaff, pretty good10:06
popeyas you install/upgrade apps it lets you know if they're known "data hogs"10:06
popeyand keeps track of your data usage, you can block apps10:06
popeyit's rather natty10:06
AlanBellwe switched from giffgaff to a £7.50/month contract and free Y30010:06
Garymungbean: yeah, I might move to that myself, but Dan would probably want more, so for an extra two pound fifty it makes more sense to do the tenner10:06
popeyhow much data do you get with the giffgaff 7.50?10:07
Garyhttp://giffgaff.com/goodybags  250mb popey10:07
popeyblimey10:08
DJonesIn normal usage, the only data hog I find are app updates so I'#ve set that to only update on wifi, unless I'm driving somewhere I'm normally connected to a wifi network10:08
popeythe 12 quid one is good!10:08
mungbeanyes, although i'm on wifi most of the day10:08
mungbeanso 250mb suits me10:08
mungbeanmonthly recurring meeans i could always get a 12 quid one for holiday10:08
diploI'm surprised at how much data I use as I'm on wifi all day as well10:09
AlanBellhttp://www.carphonewarehouse.com/buy/HUAWEI_Y300_KM072_FCON is the deal my daughter has10:09
mungbeanlet me know if you want a GG sim and i'll give you my referral link :P10:09
diplobut stayed on the £10 package for now, but may upgrade to the £12 for the tethering option10:09
Garyno, use my link!10:09
popeyaccording to Ovano I am on day 18 of 31 and used 60.1MB of 250MB10:09

mungbeangonna be sad when my phone eventually dies as buying new phones outright is £££10:11
popeygoing to phone orange now and tell them I'm going to giffgaff10:11
popeysee what they say10:11
diplohmm only used 70mb in the last 2 weeks, normally double/triple that10:11
Garybye, probably10:11
popeyyeah10:12
popeybeen with them since 199510:12
mungbeanthats what tmob said10:12
DJonesActually, its not battery indicator, its 3G watchdog10:12
popeyhow about roaming?10:13
Garythat'd probably cost a lot10:13
popey"If you're thinking of leaving orange, press 2"10:14
Garyhttp://giffgaff.com/index/international  24p a min10:14
Garydata roaming 45p min10:15
diploOK next question for the day, I've written a python script in the past using fabric to check remote hosts svn info, a colleague would like that done on the intranet. Anyone succesfully used ssh2 php module or any other suggestions ?10:17
popeyhaha, sales patter10:18
AlanBellI am thinking of getting a french data sim and just doing voip instead of roaming10:18
AlanBellif I want to talk to anyone, which I probably don't10:18
brobostigonwoop, i just looked at the rpi thats acting as a wifi AP here, and 103days uptime, yay.10:19
Garypopey: I *tried* not to sound like a sales droid, or is that comment in reference to orange?10:20
popeyyes10:21
popeyshe's trying to change tarrif10:21
popeygave me the "giffgaff doesn't have their own network" patter10:21
Garyif they match it, it'll be tied in for 18/24 months10:21
Garyit's a molp or whatever on o210:22
Gary(so if you get crap o2 signal, it's a bad idea to go giffgaff)10:22
popeyso, she said they flat out cant compete with giffgaff, then tried to disparage them10:27
popey"if it goes down you cant phone anyone"10:27
mungbeanLOL10:28
popeyto which i said "if orange goes down I never phone anyone"10:28
mungbean"are you saying you're better than o2"10:28
popeyshe said they can give me up to 1.5GB/mo for ~21 quid10:28
mungbeanfailzors10:28
mungbeantmob didn't even try with my missis10:28
mungbeanthey said, fair do's10:28
mungbeanwont even try to offer u10:28
popeyi think it depends how you approach it10:28
GaryI don't use more than 60mb a month as is (over the cell network)10:29
mungbeaneverything about GG is better IMO10:29
MartijnVdSI'm waiting for the day that data caps go away10:29
* AlanBell just ordered a french SIM card10:29
mungbeantheir website means i don't have to call people10:29
GaryI've had over 70 quid back from giffgaff via "helping" people on the forums10:29
MartijnVdSI mean.. yay 50mbit 4G. But not even a full minute of full use before you hit the cap10:29
MartijnVdSAlanBell: Le card de MIS?10:30
mungbeanGary: how much do you get paid for each "help"?10:30
Garymost of that was chatting crap in the social channel!10:30
AlanBellone of these http://www.lefrenchmobile.com/en/order-sim-card-for-france.html10:30
Garymungbean: no idea, but one month I assisted helpfully twice and made 30 quid!10:30
mungbeanwow10:30
diploI can answer a lot of Q's on giffgaff but I never sign in :P10:30
mungbeansurely there must be people all over that10:30
Garyno idea how they worked that out!10:30
MartijnVdSAlanBell: do you know this? http://prepaidwithdata.wikia.com/wiki/Prepaid_SIM_with_data10:31
diploand tbh, I found all my stuff via google10:31
Garythere is a guy on the forums who used to (before he left uni or something) make a very decent living off giffgaff, in the order of thousands of quid a cycle (as it's paid out in a weird cycle, not monthly)10:32
AlanBellMartijnVdS: yeah, it is one of the providers on there10:32
MartijnVdSAlanBell: apparently LeFrenchMobile also has Belgian SIMs.. hmmm10:32
diploBlimey Gary, maybe I should make more of an effort :D10:32
MartijnVdSInteresting10:32
AlanBellI will get a 500MB data bundle and see how it goes10:33
Garydiplo: the forums can however be a bit overwhelming, too many people trying to answer each question can happen10:34
MartijnVdSAlanBell: I used less than that in a week in the UK10:34
MartijnVdSAlanBell: and I was using google nav *all* the time10:34
popeyAlanBell: why a french sim?10:34
AlanBellbasically I use data more than calls, but I should be able to use sipdroid to have my phone as an extension on our PBX10:34
popeywont that be roaming over here?10:34
AlanBellI won't be using it here :)10:35
popeyah10:35
AlanBellI will be in france for a week10:35
AlanBellmy theory is that voip over 3g is better than roaming on your own SIM10:35
AlanBellpopey: is there a SIP or IAX client for the Ubuntu Phone yet/in the works?10:36
popeynot that I am aware of10:37
TheOpenSourcerersflphone compiles on arm I believe. According to some discussions on their mailling list recently. Someone trying to use it on a RPi.10:38
MartijnVdSAlanBell: do you have one of those wifi/mifi things to put it in?10:38
MartijnVdSAlanBell: or are you sticking it in your phone?10:38
AlanBellI will put it in the phone10:39
* MartijnVdS has a Huawei E58610:39
davmor2AlanBell: there is a kde telepathy client so there is a possiblity of using sofia-sip as telepathy is on the phone and then maybe through together a qt client based on the kde one maybe?10:39
MartijnVdSdavmor2: It should be integrated, so you can choose to use SIP or "mobile network" for a call10:40
AlanBellI still think a good niche would be to use SIP as the primary dialer10:41
mungbeani work in an office with good wifi and poor mobile10:43
mungbeana lot of london does too10:43
MartijnVdSsame for me, though wifi is flaky10:43
AlanBellMartijnVdS: I will put it in one of the phones (probably mine) and then share it over wifi to all the other three phones, tablet and laptop that we will have10:44
MartijnVdSAlanBell: "don't wander off, or you'll lose the call" :)10:44
AlanBellmungbean: yeah, it would mean that the phone would integrate with your PBX as a proper extension, and there would be no roaming, just get a local data SIM10:45
MartijnVdSin the Netherlands, there's a net neutrality law, so providers can't even throttle or block SIP traffic anymore10:46
MartijnVdS(they used to charge more for SIP-capable plans)10:46
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)10:50
MartijnVdSafternoon, bigcalm10:51
bigcalmAnybody fancy helping me route specific traffic via a VPN?10:51
bigcalmI'm confused10:51
bigcalmHi MartijnVdS10:51
MartijnVdSbigcalm: sure, what do you want to do?10:51
bigcalmI have a VPN set up between a Rackspace firewall and an ADSL router10:51
MartijnVdSwhat kind of VPN10:52
bigcalmIPsec10:52
MartijnVdS*shudder810:52
bigcalm:Z10:52
bigcalmWell, the ADSL router says that the VPN is working. But I don't know how to route traffic though it10:52
MartijnVdSbigcalm: is it tunnel-mode (each end has an extra IP) or transport mode?10:53
bigcalmWell, the ADSL end has an extra IP of 192.168.5.1, but I don't think that there is an extra IP address on the server10:53
bigcalmI will stop starting my sentences with 'Well'. It's making me sound like davmor210:54
Dave2So, what will you replace it with?10:54
bigcalm:D10:54
MartijnVdSbigcalm: in that case.. I don't know :( Not much experience with ipsec10:55

Dave2stoppit and tidyup?10:56
davmor2bigcalm:  actually it (deep breath in) Well..............  have a slap for your inaccuracy :P10:56
Dave2bigcalm: I assume you've got to set up routing rules on your router10:56
MartijnVdSVell..10:56
Dave2if it were a simple Linux box with a dedicated box it'd mainly be a case of "ip r add to <ip> dev <device> via <gateway IP>"10:57
bigcalmdavmor2: aww, sorry :P10:57

diplobigcalm: In my router ( Draytek ) we connect lan to lan over ipsec vpn, we just put the route we are connecting to in the configuration11:06
diploAnd then add routes to hosts after11:06
bigcalmdiplo: this is a DrayTek Vigor2710 \o/11:08
bigcalmCan you explain what you mean by putting in the route?11:08
neuroit puts the route in the basket11:09
neuroor it gets the hose again11:09
bigcalmHeh11:09
diplohttp://kb.cyberoam.com/default.asp?id=122711:10
diploLike that11:10
diploRemote network internal IP is the bit you probably require11:10
bigcalmdiplo: thank you :)11:10
bigcalmdiplo: that page explains how to set up the VPN. We already have that working. I need to know how to route via the VPN11:16
diploSo you have the internal IP at the end of the settings?11:17
diploTCP/IP Network settings, remote mask remote ip etc11:18
diploAll I do after that is add the route back to my machine at the other end unless it's using the same gateway that the vpn goes out on11:18
diploWe have 4 lines, some servers use different lines, so on each box I'll do route add -network 10.10.2.1/24 gw <gwip>11:19
diploThat's it, works11:19
bigcalmThat's the last bit I didn't know about, thank you :)11:19
MartijnVdSonce you get it working, please blog about it :)11:20
bigcalmHehe11:20
bigcalmMartijnVdS: the link that diplo pasted works to get the VPN working between sites. I'll try and blog about the extra bits for routing...11:21
diploAh, Dave2 mentioned that above bigcalm, so guessed you had tried that11:21
diploDraytek site has loads of info about it, very helpful11:21

diplosite:draytek.co.uk ipsec vpn lan to lan I think I probably search googly for11:22
diploI found their site not that great to find stuff on11:23
diploBut it *does* have a wealth of info if you can find it.11:23
mungbeantrying to compile for my massively expensive coprocessor11:25
MartijnVdSmungbean: Nvidia gpu?11:26
mungbeanintel phi11:26
mungbeanabout £5k worth in each server11:26
mungbeanthats a lot of bitcoins11:26
Dave2diplo: needs moar iprout211:27
bigcalmLooks like it might be a static route that I want to configure11:27
Dave2iproute211:27
Dave2(which I mainly use because I have fancy routing tables and stuff.)11:27
Dave2(and because the non-iproute2 way of doing things is deprecated)11:28
diplobigcalm: What OS ?11:28
bigcalmdiplo: linux. But also on little black box called an X411:29
diplomeant distro really, as different ways of adding static routes on different distros11:30
diploso CentOS it's route-eth<#>11:30
diploin /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ I think from memory11:30
diploNot sure if I've ever had to add a static route on ubuntu yet :)11:30
bigcalmOn the server end it's an ubuntu install. On the ADSL end, it's Debian11:31
bigcalmOn the X4, it's whatever iDigi make11:31
diploIf the servers are using the same gateways as the vpn you shouldn't need to add the routes though11:32
bigcalmOkay11:32
bigcalm"...each box I'll do route add -network 10.10.2.1/24 gw <gwip>"11:33
* Dave2 winces at non-iproute2 again :(11:33
bigcalmgwip being the IP address provided by the VPN?11:33
MartijnVdSip route add!11:33
MartijnVdSnot "route add"11:33
bigcalmOr the LAN IP of the router? 192.168.1.1 I think11:34
bigcalmOh balls. I don't have root on the debian machine. Don't think I can add routes11:35
bigcalmNetworking is doing my head in :(11:37
Dave2If you don't have root you're probably not going to get very far11:38
bigcalmOh, I have SSH access to the X4 device. And I can set static routes via its web interface11:39
bigcalmHopefully I can do my testing from there11:39
bigcalmOh, it's a weird shell11:41
bigcalmVery limited11:41
* bigcalm sends a request to boss to have root access to his home server11:42
bigcalmWhen adding a static route, what is Metric for?11:46
diplonever used it myself but from a quick look it looks like priority of traffic12:04
diploThe simplest example of a metric is the weight value. Many different routers can use static routes and static routes can be assigned a weight. Higher weight means higher cost. This allows the administrator to create several routes to a destination and then set them up so that one will be preferred over the others12:05
diploProbably more needed in high availability / bandwith heavy stuff I guess12:05
