ali1234there is no standard way00:00
ali1234sometimes you can do make uninstall, but that almost never works00:00
map|workand if you cant do that what do you do?00:00
ali1234cry00:00
ali1234then delete all the stuff by hand00:01
shaunomake install >alogfile, then grep out the filenames and nuke 'em00:01
map|workah00:06
map|workso literally have to go through a logfile and then reverse 1 by 1?00:06
map|workor i guess if youre good could write a script to do it>?00:06
shaunoactually, it looks like it just puts everything under /usr/local/squidGuard00:13
shaunoand if you tell it to use --prefix=/opt, it still puts most of it in /usr/local/squidGuard.  lovely.00:14
map|worklol00:14
map|workbut in general if compilingand making by source u need to see the log and work out where everything is and manually rm?00:14
shaunothere's not really an 'in general', which is why I called it an awkward question00:15
map|workso its a paion!00:16
shaunousually I'd try to make install again and catch the output this time.  squidGuard, for example, decides not to give you any output00:16
map|workha00:17
map|workthanks00:17
shaunoif you're a bit more organised, you can use something like 'checkinstall', but that needs to be done before you install, not after00:17
map|worki see00:17
map|workso i need to basically just rm -rf ./usr/local/squid00:18
shaunosquidGuard, not squid ;)00:18
map|workhaha yea00:19
shaunofor this one, it seems so.  generally that'd be wrong.  squidGuard seems to enjoy being wrong00:19
map|workyea thought so normally it leaves stuff in places eh00:19
shaunoI tend to put stuff like this in /opt/whatever.  that way I have it nice and contained when I want to nuke it (or backup, etc)00:20
map|workhi ahayzen01:00
ahayzenmap|work, o/01:01

diddledan__I'm busy trying to work out why my cheapo nas is thrashing the hdd and not letting me do anything01:19
diddledan__(wd mybook live)01:19
map|workah01:21
map|workthrashing the hdd?:| doesnt sound good?01:21
diddledan__looks like "mediacrawler" is running01:22
diddledan__I guess that's an indexing thing for music01:23
map|workwhat does the nas run?01:23
diddledan__whatever wd decided to put on there01:26
map|workjust wondered so not like you can ssh to it is it just a web interface?01:27
diddledan__the web interface isn't responding01:27
diddledan__I've backdoored it to allow ssh, hence how I know mediacrawler is running01:27
diddledan__but I can't tell you anything about what mediacrawler is because I didn't put it there01:28

map|workjust glad it's all working:)02:03
daftykins^_^02:03
map|workwell i asay all - no idea how to solve the original thing that led me to mess it all up02:03
map|workLOL02:03
daftykinshehe, what was that?02:04
map|workinstalling squigGuard from source DB_>put cant be something something to do with libdm02:04
map|workso i removed it as we know02:04
map|worklol02:04
daftykins\o/02:05
shaunothis is oddly fascinating; http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2014/02070836-isee-3.html02:05
daftykinswow02:09
daftykinssurely they could somehow do it in software from the ISS02:09
daftykinsoh ok it's a hardware limitation02:10
shaunoit seems pretty similar to the bands Apollo used02:11
daftykinsthis is what makes me laugh about sci-fi like Stargate where they can plug into alien technology and talk to it02:12
daftykinsusually with Sam Carter carrying a Dell laptop and a network cable02:12
daftykinswell well well, the aliens happened to develop CSMA/CD precisely the same way eh?02:13
daftykinsthen ethernet above it too? my word.02:13
shaunohttp://mdkenny.customer.netspace.net.au/ISEE-3.pdf  lists the frequencies, they match pretty closely to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_S-band02:13
shaunowhich makes sense given 1971.  but most the DSN stuff is on 8.4-ish GHz now02:14
daftykinsD:02:14
shaunohopefuly whoever ditched the old gear in '99 feels like a proper prat now  lol02:14
diddledan__that's really sad :-(02:15
diddledan__poor little space ship that could saying "hello, can I play" but being ignored like the kid nobody wants on their football team02:16
ali1234would be funny if some hams hijacked it02:16
shaunoyeah, that's which way the comments are going.  which is .. fascinating and terrifying02:17
shaunoreaching it would be a hellish interesting challenge.  but without any guidance - what do they send?02:17
ali1234everything, until something happens02:18
shaunothat's the terrifying part.  what if 'goodnight' is lower down the list of commands than 'turn around' ?02:18
ali1234i dunno02:19
ali1234will it come around again in another 10 years? or just drift off into space?02:19
daftykinsit concerned me the way they said it was catching up with Earth, as though it might just enter the atmosphere and burn up02:21
shaunoit sounds like it'd catch up again, but .. if they put it in this orbit in 88, and it's just come back now; it'd repeat in 2040?02:21
ali1234it kind of implies they had contact in 199902:21
shaunoright, but that's DSN .. it doesn't need to be close, that's the same equipment we talk to mars with02:22
shauno('deep space network')02:22
diddledan__shauno: you're totally a space geek :-D02:22
ali1234i don't get it... is the problem that you can only do two way when it is close by?02:23
shaunoit sounds more like there was just no point in giving it commands any earlier02:23
diddledan__I think the idea is they wanted to tell it to slow down to re-enter earth-orbit02:24
diddledan__although there was mention of sending it back off to the sun for more science02:24
diddledan__the little space ship that could can do science!02:25
shaunothe helicentric bit .. if you start off in an orbit that matches ours.  and then distort it so it's a little egg-shaped02:25
diddledan__play kerbal and you'll get an idea of how orbits work :-p02:25
shaunoyou end up with an orbit that crosses ours at its 'high' point, but overall has a lower period - so it orbits less than 365 days02:26
shaunoso then you get this phasing effect where most the times it pops anywhere near our orbit, we're somewhere else02:26
shaunoheh, yes, exactly .. this is the same method you use to meet a space station in KSP :)02:28
map|workhmm where can i find some doc about setting up squidGuard from the repos02:29
shauno/usr/share/doc/squidguard would be a sensible place to check02:33
shaunoespecially if there's a readme.debian (unless ubuntu rename those?), that should have bits that are distro-specific02:34
map|workah is that where it puts docs? didnt actually know02:35
shaunoyeah; you'll find a *lot* of bedtime reading in /usr/share/doc :)02:36
shaunoI'll admit most my understanding of orbital mechanics is from games :)  but my understanding is that the 'rendevous' should re-occur every (year/(our orbital period - its orbital period)) years02:39
map|workanyone still around?03:05
diddledan__yup03:05
map|workstill cant get squidguard to work LOL03:08
map|workdafty - Setting up squidguard (1.5-1) ...                                                                                                            Rebuild SquidGuard database - this can take a while.                                                                                         DB->put: method not permitted before handle's open method                                                                                    ^Cdpk03:09
map|workthat was the error - oops didnt format too well03:10
daftykinsno experience with it i'm afraid03:10
map|workthanks anyway :D03:10
map|workgetting stuck at same part whether i use source/apt03:10
shaunodoes look like exactly the same bug again :/03:11
map|workso i dont know what to do - when you google it there's not much on it and nothing recent and ubuntu03:12
shauno3am and I'm watching robocop.  this can't end well :/03:15
map|workhaha the old one i assume?03:16
shaunoyeah03:16
shaunoI don't think the new one's out on .. err .. err .. blueray yet03:16
daftykins-e03:47
map|work-f03:47
daftykins0o03:51
map|workgoing crazy with this/..tried from source..got that error..so tried from the repos got that error03:51
map|workjst looked on packages.ubuntu grabbed the libdm they say there ..installed it and it says it was the same as i had03:52
map|workarghh03:52
daftykinscould be a bug03:56
daftykinsmap|work: is squidguard still installed?03:57
daftykinshttp://www.squidguard.org/Doc/known_issues.html03:58
daftykinsFix/Workaround:03:58
daftykinsBerkeleyDB up to version 4.6 is known to work properly.03:58
map|worknot atm - yea but i have 5.1 can i install an old version at same time?03:58
daftykinsdoubt it, try obtaining an old'un04:02
shaunouninstalling it is what caused his earlier wifi problems .. not sure I'd mess with that too lightly04:02
daftykinsuninstalling the BerkeleyDB portion?04:03
daftykinsoh was this the libdb malarkey?04:03
shaunoright; they're one in the same04:03
daftykinsi officially just turned the page in my head to catch up XD04:04
daftykinsthough your package of squidguard is 1.5-104:04
shaunoheh, I know the feeling, logrotate's already ran :p04:04
map|workyea04:05
map|workthats the one from the repos dafty04:05
map|workhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/squidguard04:05
daftykinsmaybe their website is just horrifically outdated then?04:05
daftykinsyou know, another thought occurs04:06
map|workgive up?04:06
daftykinsi know nothing about BerkeleyDB, but the error looks to be to do with setting up a db04:06
map|workheh04:06
daftykinswhat if you could do it manually?04:06
shaunoif I was really determined, I'd build 4.6 into /opt/somewhere and then build squidguard with ./configure --with-db=/opt/somewhere04:06
daftykinsas they say it's obviously tripping up due to a syntax issue between versions04:06
map|workyea its when it tries to make the blacklist files into the db - no idea how it all mentions squidcard -C all to make the db file04:06
map|worksee i dont get it..squidguards really popul;ar from what ive heard so surely if this issue was commonplace id see more when i google search04:07
shaunobut I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable hand-holding that one.  especially at 4am04:07
daftykinsmap|work: do you have an older setup of it anywhere else with existing db's?04:09
map|worknope only recently been looking at it04:09
daftykinsah ok04:10
daftykinshttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=89429404:10
lubotu3bugzilla.redhat.com bug 894294 in squidGuard "squidGuard: database update: BDB1565 DB->put: method not permitted before handle's open method" [High,Closed: currentrelease]04:10
daftykinsthat seems so relevant, except for all the differences XD04:10
map|workyea04:10
shaunoexactyly the same one I fuond 5 hours ago :)04:10
map|workas i say if its a normal error im getting as ive tried from source and repos wouldnt you expect more on the ubuntu forums etc?04:10
shaunobut it is reassuringly recent04:10
shaunoit doesn't appear to be that well maintained, to be honest.  there's bugs on launchpad 3 years old and still marked new.04:11
shaunoeg, bug #757474 is still marked new04:11

daftykinsXD04:15
daftykinsperhaps cars still needed to be made back then?04:15
shaunoI always found it strange that michigan has no equivalent of an MOT test.  as long as the police don't actually spot significant chunks falling off, and all your lights work, you're good04:20
shaunoseems like a sensible move that'd add a bit more turnover to a market they depend on04:20
map|worklol thats odd never knew that04:23
map|workdaftykins - io thought squidguard was meant to be really popular though04:23
daftykinsi know of squid, not familiar with that'un04:23
daftykinsshauno: we don't have an MOT down here04:24
daftykinsyou get pulled over for anything not meeting the highway code and ordered to report to the police station to show their guy you fixed it04:24
map|workso you need to know what meets highway6 code yourself ideally04:29
map|workguess it should be obvious?04:29

AlanBellczajkowski: yup12:01
AlanBellczajkowski: it went a bit funny yesterday with a US keyboard layout, but is fairly happy today12:01
moreatiAfternoon all. I customize the touch pad of my MBP running Trusty Tahir with  `synclient TapButton3=2 HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 PalmDetect=1`. However if I've run this the laptop will spontaneously resume from suspend, a few seconds after I've closed the lid.12:07
moreatiI suspect the laptop screen is causing a touch event, probably a 4-finger touch event, because the unity menu is open once I unlock the session following a spotaneous resume.12:09
penguin42moreati: I guess it might be possible to change that config back in a hook before the rsuspend12:11
moreatiI'd like to investigate the code that (I assume) that controls the touchpad during suspend, to see if my script has interfered somehow. Anyone know roughly where that code lives?12:11
moreatie.g. is it in upstart? unity? X? libsomething?12:12
moreatipenguin42: that's ... a damn good idea.12:13
penguin42moreati: I'd have thought it would be in /etc/pm - that's where the hooks go for any specials12:13
penguin42moreati: Or /usr/lib/pm-utils12:14

BigRedSso probably using a variable that's not been initialised15:54

NET||abusei'm having an annoying bootup problem, when lightdm should be starting, i'm getting a blank screen with blinking ;cursor :(17:34
penguin42NET||abuse: Check /var/lo/lightdm to see why17:36
NET||abusehitting th epower button switches off the machine after barely a couple lines of output, i get to grub and i can go to recovery with networking if i try17:37
NET||abusebut blank screen blinking cursor on normal boot, also I can't ctrl+alt+f1-6 to a tty17:38
BigRedScan you boot into recovery mode?17:39
NET||abuseuyes17:39
NET||abuseso far not with a gui, just command line17:39
BigRedSbut you can use that command line to see what the lightdm log says?17:40
NET||abuseoh yes, absolutely.17:40
NET||abusejust waiting for recovery networking tostartup17:40
NET||abusetakes a while for that bit.17:41
BigRedSoh cool17:41
NET||abuselooks like it started X server, last message it says is registering seat with bus path /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat017:50
NET||abusethen, it's writitng to x-0.log so have to check that i guess17:50
NET||abuseso lightdm/x-0.log says (EE) Fatal server error: no screens found17:51
NET||abusebefore that says vesa: Ignoring device with bound kernel driver17:52
NET||abuseXorg.0.log says glx will be loaded by default, (WW) xmir is not to be loaded... then loads of loading of glx and besa18:00
NET||abusevesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver18:00
NET||abuse(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa18:00
NET||abuse(EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.18:01

NET||abuse(EE) Device(s)detected, but none matched those in the config file.18:01
NET||abuse(EE) failed to laod module "nvidia" (module does no exist, 0)18:02
penguin42NET||abuse: Hang on, use a pastebin to give the whole of the Xorg.0.log18:02
NET||abuseurgh,, how when i'm on a recovery console?18:04
NET||abuse.. i guess i could post the file up to something.18:04
penguin42NET||abuse: Try installing the pastebinit program18:05
NET||abusecool app.. just reading the man file.18:07
NET||abusehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6898562/18:09
NET||abuseemm, lightdm log is ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/689856818:10
penguin42NET||abuse: Right18:11
penguin42NET||abuse: So lightdm is going Waaah! Where did X go18:12
penguin42NET||abuse: Now, X - hmm it's loaded the Nouveau driver but for some reason you seem to be missing /dev/fb0 - which is a shame!18:12
NET||abusehehe18:12
NET||abuse"a shame" that's one way to put it18:13
MartijnVdSmaybe both nvidia and nouveau are loaded/trying to load?18:14
NET||abusei'll purge them all and just load a basic driver? Do i need at least one to even have the failsafe load?18:14
daftykinsdo you have a misconfigured /etc/X11/xorg.conf too?18:15
NET||abuseso wipe out all nvidia* packages? Also kill the Xorg.conf ( can i just delete it and let xserver-xorg dpkg-reconfigure )18:16
MartijnVdSNET||abuse: you don't need a xorg.conf18:16
MartijnVdSNET||abuse: unless you're a *very* special case ;)18:16
NET||abuseahah, ok will kill it.18:16
daftykinsmove it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old18:17
NET||abuseyeh, did that.18:17
MartijnVdSdaftykins: rm2 () { mv "$1" "$1".`date +%s` }18:37
diddledan__MartijnVdS: I can make a more cryptic version of that: rm2() { mv "$1{,`date +%s`}" }18:40
diddledan__:-p18:41
diddledan__I like cryptic18:41
MartijnVdSwoo :)18:41
diddledan__ooh, forgot the "."18:41
diddledan__put a . after the ,18:41
diddledan__I like replacing builtins with fancy stuff too - so instead of calling it rm2, call it rm :-p18:43
diddledan__then you can never delete anything without really thinking about it18:43

MartijnVdSdiddledan__: yes!18:49
MartijnVdSdiddledan__: I have time18:49
diddledan__lol18:49
diddledan__nice18:49

diddledan__I'm usually an average of 15000 miles out18:54
shaunoI did at first.  you learn to start spotting details18:55
shaunobut I still can't tell the difference between the US north, canada, and scanadavia.  except norway have impossibly cute bus stops18:55
daftykinsXD18:56
shaunoif satellite dishes point south, you're north of the equator, and vice versa - this is often the only way I can tell australia from california!18:56
penguin42haha I hadn't spotted that type of thing18:57
MartijnVdSshauno: though you can't tell parts of South Africa from Australia like that18:57
MartijnVdSshauno: especially on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere18:57
shaunoyeah, the middle of nowhere is difficult.  I end up clicking around for ages looking for another car18:57
diddledan__anywho, I'm off18:57
MartijnVdSOK, I'm somewhere in southern europe.. but where..18:58
shaunoif it looks like it's from the 90s, you're in australia.  if it looks like the 80s, you're in africa.  if it looks like the 70s, you're in russia18:58
MartijnVdSGame finished!18:59

shaunoI haven't had asia yet.  it seems to like giving me a lot of scandanavia & africa19:27
ali1234anyone got land's end yet?19:27
shaunoit hasn't given me the UK yet, and I've been playing for hours.  belgium was the closest I think19:28
MartijnVdSBelgium, man!19:33
ali1234everywhere looks like belgium19:33
MartijnVdSali1234: nah, some places are too nice, or too sunny19:33
shaunoit just looked like france but with our weather19:33

shauno"Power Spectral Density of a Synchronous Data Stream Generated by a Binary, Zero Mean, Cyclostationary Sequence"   the more I read, the less convinced I am that hams would be able to help that lost solar probe :/  this stuff is terrifying19:44
MartijnVdSshauno: lost solar proble?19:44
shaunooh, something I came across last night; http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2014/02070836-isee-3.html19:45
xalyyGuys is Webmin a good idea for starting a VPS host?19:45
shaunoan old mission that's finally going to wrap back around to earth, but we no longer have the equipment to intruct it19:45
MartijnVdSshauno: it's like V'ger19:45
daftykinswhy does 'who' in a TTY not show me someone SSH'd in? 0o19:46
shaunowebmin is generally a bad idea for anything.  Zentyal is the closest thing to a modern replacement; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal19:46
MartijnVdSdaftykins: because the person didn't get a tty (ssh foo command_here)19:46
daftykinsdidn't it usually show those logins too? 0o19:47
MartijnVdSdaftykins: no?19:47
xalyyGuys? :D19:47
daftykinsxalyy: if you want to actually host things for others you really should gain a good grasp of things from the ground up, without using software that holds your hand19:48
xalyyWhat you mean?19:48
daftykinsyou should learn the hard way before using something that makes it easy19:49
daftykins:)19:49
xalyyOhh, ok but why I can't ask the experts opinion? :P19:49
xalyyIs Webmin with Virtualmin is user friendly and is it a good idea to build a very early VPS host?19:50
daftykinswhat's your native language?19:51
xalyyHungarian :D why?19:51
daftykinsjust i could detect a language barrier problem19:52
xalyyOhh19:52
penguin42xalyy: webmin is easy, I've not used it in years though - it's generally not regarded as very secure - so make sure you can't get to it remotely19:53
xalyyUgh19:55
xalyyThey can easily hack it?19:57
DJones!webmin | xalyy If you're using Ubuntu, webmin isn't recommended,19:58
lubotu3xalyy If you're using Ubuntu, webmin isn't recommended,: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.19:58
MartijnVdSlike we said earlier, it's best to learn how libvirt works, especially if you want to *sell* the service19:58
xalyyThen what should I use? or Webmin which OS does fully compatible?19:59
MartijnVdSxalyy: I don't think webmin is a good idea on any oS19:59
penguin42xalyy: It was quite popular maybe 15 years ago :-)19:59
xalyyWow :D20:00
MartijnVdSand even then people shuddered at the thought of it ;)20:00
xalyyThen what do you prefer guys? What should I use?20:01
MartijnVdSjust ssh20:01
xalyyAs cPanel alternative just free20:01
MartijnVdSvirsh, maybe some puppet or chef or ansible to manage multiple machines20:02
MartijnVdSthat's what I'd use if I was starting a VPS host anyway20:02
penguin42xalyy: What type of stuff are you admining ?20:02
xalyyVPS I said :P Windows VPS20:02
penguin42xalyy: virtmanager if you want to manage VMs20:03
MartijnVdSvirt-manager*20:04
penguin42xalyy: It's good for simple stuff, I know people who really like proxmox for doing more complicated stuff20:04
penguin42oh yeh20:04
xalyySo Proxmox is a good choice?20:05
penguin42I've not used it myself, but I know people who really like it20:05
xalyyOkay20:06
xalyyYeah I just see it looks really good and efficient20:07
xalyyAnd its free :D20:07
xalyyThanks :)20:07
map|workevening20:08
xalyyHey all22:19
xalyyJust installed proxmox as you guys said but I have some problems :S22:19
xalyyThe default ip address with 8006 port on the browser not does anything22:21
xalyyWhat I done wrong?22:21
xalyySomeone? :s22:27
BigRedSI've never touched proxmox but what do you mean by "default ip address with 8006 port on the browser not does anything"? Your browser fails to connect, shows a blank pagE?22:33
xalyyBack22:40
xalyyYes22:40
xalyy mydedicatedserverip:800622:40
xalyyNot loads22:40
daftykinstry http://127.0.0.1:8006/22:46
daftykinsif you're running it locally22:46
shaunopart of me doesn't want to make suggestions because I'm pretty sure he's just digging himself a deeper hole22:46
daftykins*nod*22:47
shaunobut I'm pretty sure centos has a firewall by default22:47
xalyyCentos?22:49
xalyyIm not run it locally22:49
xalyyBy the way is hostname can be the problem?22:49
daftykinsmore than likely22:49
xalyyAnd how do I know what is the hostname of my dedicated?22:51
xalyyBut lol? http://gyazo.com/51af3a645eac1c4ce26e4a8ae960463a.png if I add mydedip:8022:51
xalyyU see it works22:51
daftykinsright but that's port 8022:54
xalyyAnd22:58
xalyyWhat can I do22:58
shaunoif you're expecting it to be on port 8006, you want yourip:8006 not yourip:8023:00
xalyyYes23:01
xalyyBut if it not works23:01
xalyy8006 not works23:01
daftykinsmaybe you didn't start the service23:04

ali1234Azelphur: you know the nvidia basemosiac thing? that only affects people who have two graphics cards right?23:48
ali1234if i buy one graphics card that supports four monitors, that will work okay?23:49
Azelphurshould do, yea23:49
Azelphuralthough I wouldn't put it past nvidia to remove functionality23:49
Azelphurthey've done it before, they are the EA of drivers23:49
ali1234well, yes, but i'm not buying ati23:49
ali1234is it worth getting anything more than a 660?23:50
daftykins660's are a good price to performance point23:50
daftykinshelped a mate with a new build recently that had one23:50
Azelphurmy 570 seems to still do fine with most things at 1440p23:50
ali1234well the sensible options look like 660, 760, or 77023:51
