SuperEngineer[& hi folks!]15:00
kecskebakSorry I keep logging out and in again, but Chromium crashes and freezes Kubuntu solid about four times a day.15:35
kecskebakYou have to switch on and off again - it's not very graceful when it goes down!15:36
ali1234so i used paint stripper to get the varnish off some wood panels16:40
ali1234now it looks like someone smeared chocolate all over them16:41

arc__hi i need help i have just installed open ssh and i followed a totorial but my mac can't connect to it17:58
arc__can anyone help17:58
arc__sorry my connection lagged out17:58
Myrttiso what part are you having trouble with?18:00
arc__i can see my laptop (ubuntu ssh) on my mac but it will always say connection failed but i have not put any authorisation keys in the .ssh folder18:02
arc__this is the tutorial i used http://web.archive.org/web/20100719220308/http://blog.ibd.com/sysadmin/bonjour-avahi-netatalk-to-share-files-files-between-ubuntu-10-4-mac-os-x/18:03
arc__i know it is a bit out dated but i am using 12.04 lts18:04
daftykinsarc__: have you confirmed SSH is running? what happens, it just times out?18:10
daftykinsor instant failure18:10
arc__sorry but how can i check through terminal18:10
daftykinsnetstat -tuln18:11
daftykinsyou should see port 22 listening on both tcp and tcp618:11
arc__it is only listening on tcp618:12
daftykinsthat could be why you're having issues if you're trying to connect using a v4 IP18:14
X98Hackerhi sorry abut that internet when it is me arc__18:17
X98Hackerso it is only listening on tcp6 not tcp18:17
daftykinsthat could be why you're having issues if you're trying to connect using a v4 IP18:18
arc__ok but how do i do that (my nickname came back)18:19
daftykinsso from your mac you're typing what? "ssh 1.2.3.4" ?18:19
arc__i am not typeing anything it can see it but when i click on it it says connection failed18:20
daftykinsoh right, so that's file sharing connection, not SSH18:21
arc__if you had a look at the link i posted u might be able to understand my problem18:22
daftykinsi did look18:22
daftykinshrmm18:23
arc__do i need to port forward18:26
daftykinsnot if they're both on the same LAN, no18:27
arc__ok cool and they are in the same lan anyway18:27
arc__but i have enabled web sharing on my mac with enables a apache web server but i can't connect to that ether18:29
daftykinsso both these computers are behind a home router, yes?18:30
daftykinscan you pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) the output of "ifconfig -a" on the ubuntu system? or you can "apt-get install pastebinit" then run "ifconfig -a | pastebinit"18:32
arc__kk wait a sec18:34
arc__here u go http://paste.ubuntu.com/6197620/18:35
arc__oh i forgot i am not connected to my router at the min18:36
arc__i am mobile interneting18:36
arc__i recenty diconnected my ethernet cable18:36
arc__my router is strictly off the internet18:37
daftykinsusb0 0o some kinda USB wireless dongle?18:39
arc__sorry18:39
arc__no its most likely my mobile (xperia) thethered18:40
daftykinsah right. in which case that system doesn't have a LAN IP so i'm not surprised nothing is connecting to it18:41
daftykinseth0 shows no IP address18:42
arc__ i can connect my router but it will disconnect me from the interweb can i fix that18:43
daftykinsis the ubuntu system a server install?18:43
arc__no18:43
daftykinsyou'd probably have to wrestle with network manager a bit18:45
arc__kk :)18:45
daftykinsa guide online might be easier to find, i wouldn't know where to start18:45
arc__ok i might stick to usb file sharing at the min then :(18:46
arc__unless i install osx server or ubuntubppc on my mac18:48
daftykinssamba could work (:18:48
daftykinsbut i'm not quite sure how you're using your phone tethering, that'll make things fun no doubt18:49
arc__no i connect to my router when i try to file share18:50
arc__my mobile is connected to the carrier (3) and is linked to my laptop for mobile internet18:51
arc__that pushes the bar down a bit :)18:51
daftykinssure but do you juggle the phone between these computers?18:52
arc__yes and no i boot into win 7 and use network bridgeing to provide for my mac using a single cable18:53
arc__I have to go now my food is ready i will be on at 9:00 or 10:00 uk tome (GMT 0)18:54
arc__uk time i mean18:54
daftykinsthink we're still on BST :D18:54

mralchi19:01
daftykinsgreetings19:02
mralchow is everyone19:03
penguin42full19:03
daftykinstad bored19:04
daftykinsoh i was going to tidy up the house - :)19:04
mralcYes but it saturday night19:04
daftykins...so?19:04
mralcand then nothing on tv19:04
mralci am new to linux19:06
mralcand from the uk19:06
penguin42mralc: Welcome on board19:06
mralci am windows/vmware consultant19:07
mralcbut have been meaning to get into linux for ages, but had a chance at work to using it and really like it19:08
daftykins^_^19:08
penguin42mralc: Good! Now have you got Linux installed as vmware guests?19:08
mralcyes19:09
mralci have been using centos alot19:09
mralcbut i have a old hp laptop which i have installed xbuntu on19:10
mralcbut the fan seem to be going all the time19:15
mralcwb19:20
mralcback19:20
daftykinsno, you left :D19:20
daftykinswb to you!19:20
mralci have a question on partitioning on my hardrive19:51
mralci have a question on partitioning my hardrive19:51
brobostigonfire away, someone who knows will answer.19:52
mralcis best idea to create 3 partitions for a standard install of ubuntu i have a 120 GB in my laptop19:54
mralc1 for root,home and swap?19:54
daftykinsmralc: yeah, i do it that way20:06
daftykinsalthough i also like to partition /boot but i don't think it gives any advantages20:06
mralci was going to ask about boot20:06
mralcwho size is recommenced for root?20:07
daftykinsif you're going for a desktop 13.04 install, likely 15-20GB would be a good size20:07
daftykinsthen you can allocate the majority of space to your /home for your personal data20:08
daftykinsmralc: so you can hibernate and sleep, you're going to want to make swap equal to or slightly larger than your RAM size20:08
mralcthank you20:10

dutchiewho's good for SSDs nowadays?21:28
daftykinsSamsung and Crucial21:30
daftykinsi'd mainly go for the longest warranty you can get from one of their (non-TLC) drives, which don't use a sandforce controller21:30
dutchietlc?21:31
daftykinstriple level cell21:32
daftykinsyou want to stick to MLC based drives ideally21:32
daftykinsthe samsung 840 pro hasn't really been beaten worthily yet21:32
dutchieooh, and it's not outrageously expensive21:33
daftykins:D21:33
daftykinsis it going in a SATA 6Gbps system?21:34
dutchieit might be21:34
daftykinscool21:34
* dutchie checks which sata ports are free21:34
shaunoI've been eyeing the 840's too, since they're going up to 1TB without being *too* silly expensive now21:35
daftykinsi think i saw a £400 1TB SSD the other day :O pretty good price i think21:35
daftykinsit may've been the Samsung Evo though, not a top performer21:35
dutchiestudent loan doesn't stretch quite that far21:35
daftykinshaha21:36
shaunoyeah, the evo.  it's not cheap, about e500 .. but it's tempting21:36
dutchieyay, i do have a 6Gbps free21:36
dutchienot sure why the optical drive is plugged into it21:36
daftykinshaha21:36
daftykinskick that sucker off21:36
dutchienow i just have to decide whether i want 256GB or 128 :/21:51
hamitronI'm waiting for my 64GB one21:52
hamitron;)21:52
hamitronway I see it, if you spend half the amount now, you'll have the other half free to spend on a larger faster one at a later date21:54
hamitronand you are losing no speed now... just need to make do with less space21:54
dutchiehmm that kind of makes sense21:55
hamitronit does when someone is a cheap git (like me)21:55
hamitron;)21:55
dutchiebut the plan is to use btrfs raid0 to give me more storage as current one is nearly full21:56
hamitronyou are getting 2?21:59
dutchiei've got one alread21:59
dutchiey21:59
hamitronisn't btrfs that fs to help secure data?22:00
hamitronor maybe I've got things mixed22:00
hamitronrm -rf /some/random/file/*22:01
hamitronnot full now22:01
hamitron:)22:01
penguin42hamitron: Just remember raid0 makes it twice as likely to lose your data22:14
hamitronmore likely imo22:15
hamitron:/22:15
daftykinsyip RAID 0 should be used only for things you don't care about22:15
dutchieyeah i have backups :)22:15
daftykinsfor example, storing your mother's TV soaps on22:16
hamitrondaftykins, haha22:16
daftykins:D22:16
hamitronI just can't see a point in mixing a fs to protect data, with a hardware setup to more than offset that22:16
hamitronbut I haven't moved with the times, still stuck on ext322:17
hamitron;)22:17
daftykins:O22:18
daftykinswhy-so?22:19
hamitronI have a few reasons22:19
hamitron1) loads of data already on the drives22:19
hamitron2) old fs lets me use old OS and tools should I need to22:20
hamitron3) lazy22:20
daftykins:>22:20
daftykinsthat's kinda why my file server is still Windows, NTFS volume22:20
hamitron:-o22:20
daftykinsnowhere else to slap 5TB of stuff :D22:21
hamitronyeh, storage is a real issue these days22:21
hamitronspeed is coming, just no storage22:21
hamitron:/22:21
daftykinsor digital hoarding :D22:21
hamitronI want a couple of 8TB hdd22:22
hamitronwith more than 1 year warranty22:22
shaunoyeah, I think packrats are the real issue there :p22:22
daftykins:D22:22
hamitronand for under 100 quid22:22
daftykinsit's great having local media though22:22
daftykinsi'm not a fan of this streaming malarkey22:22
* hamitron neither22:23
hamitronI still have friends on dialup22:23
daftykinswhaaaaat D:22:23
daftykinsrural areas?22:23
hamitronyeh22:23
hamitronone of them could get DSL if he turned off one of his electric fences22:24
daftykinshahaha22:24
hamitronbut tbh, I like local files22:25
hamitroncan move them to my phone to watch remotely22:25
hamitrongrrrr22:27
hamitronwish i had my ssd now22:27
hamitronwanna play22:27
hamitron:/22:27
daftykins:D22:27
hamitrononly ordered it because I have 2 hdd I like to raid 022:27
daftykinsi have a new one for my server coming soon22:27
hamitronand they seem unstable with my new motherboard22:28
hamitron(cause it to freeze and cook the cpu)22:28
ali1234i don't like copying a huge file on to my phone that i will only watch once22:29
daftykinsbecause of the NAND writes?22:30
ali1234no because it takes ages22:30
daftykinshaha22:30
ali12343 hours to copy a movie22:30
ali1234i could have watched it on my computer in 1.522:30
hamitronhaha22:30
ali1234therefore i prefer streaming local files22:30
hamitronwell, I had some tutorials I like to repeatedly watch22:30
hamitronwhilst on the bus to training22:31
shaunoit takes 3 hours to copy it but it'll stream in realtime?22:31
ali1234i know, weird right?22:31
hamitroncan't you transcode to smaller files?22:31
ali1234well the ideal would e a streaming server that does that automatically22:32
ali1234nexus 7 can't play HD videos anyway... it can barely play SD mpeg222:33
hamitron:/22:33
hamitronget a lumia22:33
hamitron;)22:33
ali1234it can play HD if it is the right format of course, they all can22:33
ali1234but stuff recorded from TV in mpeg is not the right format, so you have to use software players or reencode it22:34
ali1234same for ripped dvds22:34
hamitronno excuse to not re-encode with todays cpu22:34
hamitron;/22:34
ali1234sure there is22:34
ali1234reencoding makes it look crappier22:34
hamitronon a phone screen, from a dvd hardly matters22:35
ali1234then you need two copies22:35
ali1234basically i just avoid watching videos on my phone because it sucks22:35
hamitronoh, I only keep the master copy22:35
hamitron:)22:35
hamitronyeh, probably best, unless you want it for a reason22:36
shaunoyeah, I'd have to be pretty desperate to watch a movie on my phone22:36
hamitronmine are mostly vids of something I am trying to improve in boxing or something22:37
hamitronno way I'd watch a movie/film22:37
shaunoespecially now that I've mastered the art of passing out with ryanair screaming down my ears22:37
daftykinsXD22:37
hamitronheck, I tried to watching a film on a 32" tv the other day, and didn't enjoy it22:37
daftykinsare they the ones with the ridiculous rules on how few items you can carry onto the plane?22:38
daftykinsi flew to Cork from Southampton/London with them22:38
hamitron20 mins in, moved to another room with a larger display22:38
daftykinsfound it quite shocking :>22:38
shaunooh they have rediculous rules for everything.  but yeah.  "one carry-on" means one.  no exceptions for laptop bags, camera bags, handbags, etc22:39
hamitronwhat if 2 bags are linked?22:39
shaunoit's best just to put one inside the other.  trying to argue your case is rarely productive22:40
hamitronso that 65 litre rucksack is useful22:40
hamitron:)22:40
shaunothere's rules for size & weight too :p22:41
hamitrondamn :/22:41
hamitronI don't wanna fly on an airline anyway22:41
shaunobut trying to beat them is like .. phoning home and saying, well .. the good news is I was right.  the bad news is I won't be home tonight22:41
ali1234just avoid ryanair and easyjet. problem solved22:41
hamitronand that foreign one with drinking and flying pilots22:42
hamitron;)22:42
shaunothat's rarely an option from here22:42
ali1234that's not a problem. the planes fly themselves anyway22:42
ali1234i'd feel safer if the pilot was asleep tbh22:42
shaunoheh, yeah .. there's an old joke about modern planes being flown by one pilot and one dog.  the pilot's there to feed the dog.  the dog's there to bite the pilot ifhe tries to mess with the buttons22:43
hamitron:)22:44
hamitrondidn't realise they referred to female pilots so impolitely22:44
hamitron;)22:44
daftykinsdude.22:48
shauno:/22:48
penguin42curious, I wonder how I got an O2 Wifi signal around here23:49
daftykins0o23:49
daftykinsjust someones broadband provider? branded router perhaps23:50
penguin42ah, unless the 'probe' line in kismet means that something was trying to connect to one rather than I heard one?23:51
ali1234could be23:53
