[00:37] <AndChat164736> What is a command I can run to view incoming traffic on port 80?
[00:40] <sarnold> AndChat164736: sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 tcp port 80
[00:40] <sarnold> add more options if you want to see contents, etc
[00:41] <AndChat164736> Thanks haven't learned much about tcpdump yet
[00:42] <sarnold> AndChat164736: ah, you might also want -n to prevent nameservice lookups. that'll make it run way faster :)
[00:42] <sarnold> hah, and of course wlan0 is because I tested it on my laptop :) your server may not have a wireless NIC :)
[00:46] <AndChat164736> Yeah I changed that to eth0:0
[00:50] <sarnold> did that work alright? I wouldn't be surprised if it can't tell one fake NIC from any of the others
[01:20] <sync0pate> goddamn.. it's happened again
[01:21] <sync0pate> btsync done 200mb no problem, then 16mb left tells me "don't have permission to write to the selected folder"
[01:21] <sync0pate> :\
[01:49] <sarnold> sync0pate: is btsync storing data into /tmp or somethingwhile transferring?
[01:50] <sarnold> sync0pate: that sounds -incredibly- annoying
[01:50] <sync0pate> I've no idea sarnold
[01:50] <sync0pate> and yeah, it is
[01:50] <sync0pate> maddening
[01:51] <sync0pate> I've just deleted and reconfigured everything from scratch, again, and it's *nearly* at the point where it normally fails
[01:51] <sync0pate> I'm too close to success to give up on it
[01:53] <sync0pate> I think it might be failing at writing something that's not the actual files, like an index or something
[01:53] <sync0pate> but I've checked the data dir
[01:53] <sync0pate> and I don't know what else it might be writing
[01:53] <sync0pate> the config dir, the logs dir etc
[01:53] <sync0pate> checked em
[01:53] <sync0pate> sudo chmod -R 777 /* ?
[01:54] <sarnold> ugh no please no never forget you've ever seen that command :)
[01:55] <sync0pate> haha
[01:55] <sync0pate> sorry, I've been drinking
[01:55] <sync0pate> ARUGHGHAWGH
[01:55] <sync0pate> it's done it
[01:56] <sync0pate> with 15mb to go last time
[01:56] <sync0pate> 17.6mb to go this time
[01:58] <sync0pate> any idea where I can even start to look?
[02:00] <mand0> its not a network problem?
[02:01] <sarnold> sync0pate: next time you test, just pick a file that's small, like a megabyte or something
[02:01] <sarnold> sync0pate: is there a configuration file that specifies destination directory?
[02:01] <sync0pate> it's definitely not a network problem
[02:01] <sync0pate> yup
[02:01] <sarnold> sync0pate: how do you tell the thing where the data should be sved?
[02:01] <sync0pate> checked all the dest directories
[02:01] <sync0pate> it works absolutely fine with small dirs
[02:01] <sync0pate> even fairly large ones
[02:01] <sync0pate> this one is 200mb
[02:01] <sync0pate> but I think crucially - about 5000 files
[02:02] <sync0pate> I think this might be it : http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/29233-bt-sync-seems-not-to-be-closing/
[02:02] <sarnold> sync0pate: omg
[02:02] <sync0pate> omg?
[02:02] <sarnold> sync0pate: they released with -that- bug?
[02:02] <sync0pate> looks like it
[02:02]  * sarnold shakes his head
[02:03] <sync0pate> any idea on a temp workaround?
[02:03] <sync0pate> maybe just restart the service every minute in a cron job?
[02:03] <sync0pate> heh, yeah, when I restart the service it keeps going a bit longer
[02:03] <sync0pate> then fails again
[02:03] <sync0pate> I think it leaves the smaller files til last
[02:04] <sync0pate> and is failing every 500-1000 files or so
[02:04] <sync0pate> 512 maybe
[02:05] <sarnold> sync0pate: if you run the server-side client with strace you might be able to confirm/deny if it ever closes files..
 sorry, I've been drinking
[02:05] <sync0pate> what?
[02:05] <sarnold> haha
[02:05] <sync0pate> I liked my idea better
[02:06] <sync0pate> I reckon I've got it working by restarting the process 5 or 6 times when it fails
[02:06] <sarnold> sync0pate: just to get the hang of strace, "strace -o /tmp/out ls /tmp"  -- then look at /tmp/out, it'll show all the systemcalls that 'ls' makes
[02:06] <sarnold> sync0pate: then you can try it on the btsync program..
[02:07] <sarnold> sync0pate: time for me to bail :) good luck, have fun
[02:07] <sync0pate> yeah check it out sarnold
[02:07] <sync0pate> [20140405 03:05:39.168] Error downloading file vendor/symfony/routing/Symfony/Component/Routing/Matcher/ApacheUrlMatcher.php: WriteToDisk: Too many open files
[02:07] <sync0pate> tons of them in the log
[02:07] <sync0pate> but k, I should sleep anyway, night
[10:02] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:47] <sync0pate> hello helpful people, any idea when 14.04 LTS is ready?
[10:47] <cfhowlett> sync0pate 17th
[10:47] <sync0pate> awesome thanks
[10:49] <sync0pate> I wonder if anyone today can shed any light on the problem I was having last night with BTSync
[10:49] <sync0pate> seem to be having the same problem as this person : http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/29233-bt-sync-seems-not-to-be-closing/
[10:50] <sync0pate> BTSync is syncing a ton of files (up to the per-process limit I think) then failing, presumably because it's not closing them
[10:50] <sync0pate> assumedly this would be caused by a horrible bug in the software, but is there a temporary workaround?
[11:14] <Tzunamii> Morning
[11:30] <sync0pate> Morning Tzunamii
[11:30] <sync0pate> Thanks for all your help yesterday :)
[12:07] <Tzunamii> any time
[12:19] <Bill_croxson> hey there. would anybody be willing to help me? I have already made a thread, but I would like to draw some attention to it as the server is needed to be put up as soon as possible. If anybody would like to help, just ask for the thread URL.
[12:20] <Bill_croxson> actually, ill just pop the URL in as i need to leave. Thank you to all who help!! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215192
[12:29] <sync0pate> anyone use firehol? or is there something better?
[12:29] <sync0pate> ufw or something?
[12:31] <Tzunamii> I'm using my own made security solution
[12:43] <dcosnet> Tzunamii: likewise
[15:50] <bekks> sync0pate: firehole and ufw are just frontends for the same application: iptables. So there is no "better" at that point. :)
[15:51] <sync0pate> yeah, I know bekks
[15:51] <sync0pate> ufw seems to be working, and firehol isn't
[15:51] <sync0pate> so
[15:51] <sync0pate> I guess I have my answer :)
[15:53] <bekks> Define "doesnt work" then.
[18:25] <Guegs> Looking to build a home server, but need a CPU. It won't be used for anything really resource intensive, I just want something low power. Preferably intel. Suggestions?
