Kilosanyone got an idea how to make ubuntu see an android tablet so sis kan get her stuff off it to put on her xp pc08:59
Kiloshi psychicist 09:05
psychicisthi Kilos 09:09
* Kilos gotta install something to let ubuntu be able to see and work on an android tablet09:18
SilverCodeKilos: what kind of tablet is it, and what version of Android is it running?09:22
Kiloshi SilverCode stylco she says09:23
SilverCodeGoogle made things much harder with the 4.1 (?) release that prevented you from being able to mount the tablet as a normal HDD09:23
Kilosi dunno how to find the version on it09:23
SilverCodenormally you go to the settings and choose "About Phone/Tablet"09:24
SilverCodeand it lists the version somewhere09:24
SilverCodebut with the random brands, it that isn't always the case09:24
Kiloseish 4.1.109:25
SilverCodethe easiest solution is just use something like Dropbox09:25
Kilosoi09:25
Kiloswe need to know how to remove pics and music so it has space on it again09:26
Kilosmove them to a flash or something09:26
Kilosshe already has dropbox with lotsa stuff but that was when she was at a free wifi area, here data is limited09:27
SilverCodeon my PC (using Netrunner .. basically Kubuntu 14.04), if I plug my Galaxy Note 10.1 in, it shows up as an MTP device09:27
SilverCodewhich allows me to copy stuff off it09:27
Kilosoh i can go to 14.04 kde09:28
Kilosso i must just install netrunner?09:28
SilverCodeI have a sneaky suspicion that the problem won't be on the Ubuntu side09:28
SilverCodebut rather the tablet side09:28
Kilosi looked in synaptic and there are lots of android packages but i havent a clue what is needed09:29
SilverCodeI've dealt with some cheap chiense Android devices that just refuse to show up via USB connections09:29
Kilosah09:30
Kilosterrible things. 09:30
SilverCodeif you plug the device in, and run "dmesg | tail", does it look like the PC is actually *seeing* the device?09:30
Kiloslemme try09:30
Kiloshttp://slexy.org/view/s20EVedBaF09:32
Kilosi just see usb stuff. dont show anything meaningful to me09:32
Kilossjoe09:34
SilverCodewell the good news is it knows you have plugged something in09:45
SilverCodethe bad news it is doesn't seem to actuall "register" it09:45
SilverCodenot sure how to get around that09:45
=== SubOracle[away] is now known as SubOracle
SilverCodeare you plugging it directly into the PC, or connecting through a USB hub?09:46
Kilosdirect on front usb port09:47
Kiloshow can you see it sees it09:47
Kiloswhich line told you that09:47
Kiloshehe09:47
Kilosisnt it an android app that needs to be installed09:48
Kilosexcuse my ignorance09:53
Kilosinstalled some of the android stuff from synaptic related to android devices and new  "dmesg | tail" is very different10:12
Kiloshttp://slexy.org/view/s2jxfrOQ6z10:12
SilverCodeKilos: it looks like it is having a hard time communicating properly over USB. Normally this is due to a bad cable/usb port, or the device hasn't followed the proper USB spec10:41
SilverCodeI could be wrong, but I don't think installing anything on the device or the PC will help10:42
Kilosah ty SilverCode for your help10:42
SilverCodesorry I can't give more information, but things like this are hard to debug without having the stuff infront of you10:43
Kilosnp10:43
Kilosim grateful for any guidance10:44

Kilosohi superfly 13:53
smilehoi :p14:34
Kiloshoi smile 14:34
Kilos:-)14:35
psychicisthoi smile :)14:35
charlgood afternoon14:40
charlMaaz: coffee on14:40
* Maaz starts grinding coffee14:40
Kiloshi psychicist again i think and charl 14:41
charlhi Kilos 14:41
psychicisthi charl 14:43
psychicisthi Kilos 14:43
psychicistyeah14:43
Kiloshaha14:43
psychicistI am around but relaxing a bit14:43
Kilosyou lucky hey14:43
psychicistit's weekend after all14:43
psychicistyeah14:43
Kilosyeah 14:43
psychicistI also upgraded my Kubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10 and 14.04 last night14:43
MaazCoffee's ready for charl!14:44
psychicistso I think I deserve it to relax a bit now14:44
charlhi psychicist 14:44
Kiloswhew why not install 14.04 strtaight14:44
charlMaaz: thanks14:44
Maazcharl: Okay :-)14:44
Kilosstraight then just run backup14:44
psychicistbecause it would be harder, I would have had to mess with the bootloader and stuff14:44
psychicistbecause I am running it off an USB drive14:44
Kilosoh kde aint got a good backup thing like deja-dup in ubuntu14:45
charlah i want to try that14:45
charlrunning it off usb14:45
Kilosah14:45
charli tried to install it but it seems like the installer doesn't make it easy14:45
charli have an old 16gb one lying here that i could use as a portable ubuntu install14:46
psychicistyeah14:47
Kilosi have done it . sold one with 12.04 installed with all the apps for data recovery and drive repair info14:47
psychicistthe installer works14:47
Kilosi just installed straight to the usb stick14:48
psychicistbut then when I tried to boot the system, the drive letters didn't match14:48
psychicistor rather the drive names in Linux14:48
charlit only gave me options to "replace" and "erase" etc but not to do a fresh install on a usb alongside my existing install14:48
psychicistso /dev/sdc turned out to have changed to /dev/sdb and I had to fix that manually14:48
charli fear i might need to first disconnect or wipe the hard drive so i can select a drive to install to14:49
Kilosoh ya i unplugged the internal and installed14:49
charlproblem to disconnect if i'm on a laptop14:49
charlthen i have to open the whole thing up14:49
charlubuntu installer sucks :(14:49
psychicistI can't unplug the internal because this is my work laptop14:49
Kilosoi14:49
psychicistI just don't boot into Windows when I don't need to14:50
charli only run windows inside a vm for when i have to use it for some app14:50
charlour support ticket application only runs in IE at work14:50
charlso i run it inside vmware14:50
psychicistI would like to try installing onto an eSATA drive, though14:51
psychicistI would probably get better performance using that14:51
charleSATA - like an external hard drive?14:51
Kilosin unity with disk-utility you can format the stick to mbr then install should be easy as the dvd sees it as a bootable drive14:51
psychicistyeah14:51
charlyeah but then you have to plug it in every time, and it's much larger than a flash drive14:51
charlthese days you get 32gb or larger on a flash drive14:51
psychicistoh, but I am using an USB drive actually14:52
charlwhich is more than enough for a system disk14:52
psychicistI mean and external USB hard drive14:52
psychicistan*14:52
psychicistwith a full installation of Kubuntu14:52
charloh i see14:52
charlactually one step better would be sd card14:52
psychicistprobably yes14:53
charlbecause sd card fits nicely internally so i can move my laptop around freely without fear of knocking out or damaging the usb flash drive14:53
charlalthough then it's not as portable anymore because i can't boot a regular pc off it without an sd card reader14:53
charlbut super handy for laptops though14:53
charlsome desktops have sd card readers but most don't :(14:54
psychicistyou can always build a card reader into it like I did14:54
charlpossible but it's my work machine so i don't want to mess with it too much14:55
charlmy laptop is my personal one14:55
psychicistoh, I understand14:56
psychicistan external USB card reader then, but that would defeat the purpose probably14:56
charli dunno i still have a spare usb flash drive lying around, i'll do that first :)14:58
charlwill see about the card later14:58
Kilosi just wanted a bootable ubuntu stick for repairing crashed pcs mainly boot probs and then for data recovery14:58
Kilosand it works14:59
charlKilos: that's a good thing to have lying around14:59
Kiloshaha i had it for 2 weeks. was planning on selling them with a booklet i wrote but ian grabbed it and gave me R2oo so i was happy 15:00
Kilosoi15:00
KilosR20015:00
Kilosstick cost R11015:00
Kilos16G15:00
Kiloshe used it to fix his pc, and now uses it at clients as well15:01
Kilosi installed boot-repair on it as well and that comes in handy with pcs with boot probs15:02
charlpsychicist: you do java development as well ?15:02
charlor you were learning it ?15:02
superflyanyone got any clues as to why my plasma doesn't load once I've logged in?15:03
psychicistcharl, I know java actually, but I am not doing any development at the moment. I want to get certified for OCAJ/OCPJ15:03
charlpsychicist: ah, i tried eclim for the first time yesterday, it was a bit of a pain to get working properly but once i "got it" it works really nicely15:04
psychicistcharl, what is that?15:04
charlpsychicist: problem with eclim is it's based off eclipse, and i don't know what you think of eclipse, but i really don't like it15:04
charleclim is a vim plugin for java development that works off eclipse in the background15:05
psychicistoh, I don't like eclipse either15:05
charlso you get things like context menus for all your java classes etc15:05
Kilossjoe superfly ian had that and someone gave me a command for him to run15:05
psychicistthat is quite nice, yes15:05
charlwb smile 15:05
Kilossomething with sudo blah blah plasma start or start plasma15:06
charlpsychicist: i don't really care for context menus that much but they are handy sometimes15:06
smilethanks :p15:06
superflycharl, psychicist, have you guys looked at IntelliJ?15:06
charlnope, googling15:06
smilecharl: I'm trying out a bash script, which involves restarting Firefox :P15:07
charlsmile: ah you use chatzilla... :)15:07
charlsuperfly: does it have good maven integration ?15:07
superflynot sure, I don't do Java15:08
charllol15:08
superflythey have a Python plugin, so I use that15:08
psychicistsuperfly, hi. I haven't looked at it, no. I have netbeans installed in case I need an IDE15:08
charli'll park it and perhaps i can try it at work15:08
superflywell, I use PyCharm, which is the python plugin in a product15:08
charlwe were looking for a better ide than eclipse because we all hate it15:08
superflyin my experience it's the IDE that sucks the least15:08
charli refuse to use it, i use vim instead, still the best editor :)15:08
psychicistyeah15:08
charlah i see it has support for spring15:09
superflyI'm waiting for KDevelop to have a decent Python plugin... right now PyCharm still beats it, but PyCharm is still annoying.15:09
charlthat's good15:09
superflywe moved our C++ dev from Eclipse CDT to KDevelop15:09
charli used to use kdevelop long time ago (7 years or so)15:10
charlsince then moved to vim and never looked back15:10
superflywe do a lot of pairing, so we need to be able to just sit down at any PC and work15:11
superflythus KDevelop works the best15:11
superfly(and it's got some pretty awesome features)15:11
charlsuperfly: do you work like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYBjVTMUQY015:12
superflyhahaha15:13
superflyI know that video well15:13
superflywe use BitBucket at work, and when that video came out it did the rounds15:13
charlmy response to pair programming: no thank you :P15:13
smilecharl: yes :p15:13

charlsuperfly: nope, watching it now15:15
charlsuperfly: hmmm can't download the .mov and i don't have flash installed15:17
charlwhen i try to download the mov it keeps pausing or something15:17
superflymight be on youtube15:17
charloh wait, here it goes now15:18

ThatGraemeGuy'lo19:09
charlmagespawn: you know stuff about asterisk right ?19:10
charlhi ThatGraemeGuy 19:10
magespawnyup charl, some stuff at least19:10
charlmagespawn: how well does sip work behind nat routing these days19:10
charlcause that used to be a major problem19:10
magespawnthe asterisk authenticates to the external sip server and keeps the connection alive that way19:12
charli'm looking at some options right now for secure voip19:13
charli'm mainly looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZRTP19:13
charli'm also looking at jitsi and freeswitch atm19:13
magespawnnever heard of jitsi but i think freeswitch is based on asterisk19:14
charljitsi is looking really awesome right now19:14
* magespawn goes to look19:16
charlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitsi19:16
magespawnthat looks pretty complete19:24
charlja man19:25
charli already run an xmpp server (prosody) so i wonder if it will work19:27
charlif i just run voip over jitsi using xmpp+jingle19:27
charlotherwise i will need to look at adding some voip / sip server but then it will have to be secure and encrypted, preferably end to end19:28
charlthat's why i was looking at zrtp19:28
charlbut back when i used to work with asterisk (many years ago) i found it to be very insecure19:28
charlpractically nothing was encrypted back then and there weren't even proper authentication mechanisms19:28
charlit was all "we trust you cause you're on the lan" and also hence the problems with nat routing19:28
Rynomsterhi Kilos19:28
Rynomsterhow are you?19:29
charlnat traversal shouldn't be necessary in any case considering we should all be using ipv6y already19:29
charl*ipv619:29
Kiloswell ty Rynomster and you?19:29
charlhi Rynomster 19:29
Rynomsterim well thx :)19:29

Rynomsteryea very cold :(19:29
charlno please don't hit me :)19:29
Rynomstersoz lol19:29
* Rynomster slaps charl with a large trout19:29
magespawni do not think that all the isp's here in sa have given put ipv6 addresses to the customers yet19:29
charli think that counts for most countries sadly19:30
charlmagespawn: http://www.google.com/intl/nl/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption19:30
Kilosdoes ipv6 mean data disappears faster?19:31
charlgermany and the us are both doing pretty well but as for the rest ...19:31
charlKilos: data disappears? what?19:31
charli hope it won't increase packet loss no...19:31
Kiloslol i mean gets used quicker man19:31
Kiloscaps that is19:31
Kilosyou uncapped peeps are spoiled19:32
charleh, i don't think that has anything to do with it19:32
charlipv6 is just the follow-up of ipv4 with better protocols and much more address space19:32
Kilosoh course19:32
charlso it will probably remain unchanged in that respect19:32
Kilosoh so not faster19:32
charlas in, it won't make a significant difference either way19:32
magespawni was wondering about how the tracking of computers would work with ipv619:33
charltracking of computers ?19:33
charlhow do you mean19:33
magespawnwell as i understand it the last part of an ipv6 address in unique to the computer19:34
charlthe last 64 bits is the network segment part19:36
charlso the first 64 bits identifies the network segment and the last 64 bits is upscaled from the 48-bit mac address on the network segment19:37
charlor the computer can choose a random mac address (privacy extensions)19:37
charland that keeps changing over time too19:37
charlso every day for example you can have a new randomised ip address19:37
charls/random mac address/random last 64 bits/19:38
charlit can also of course randomise the mac address but that's a different story19:38
charlwhen you look at an "upscaled" mac address it has the trademark "ff:fe" in there somewhere19:39
charlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Modified_EUI-6419:40
magespawni thought the mac would stay fixed, unless you took stpes to change it19:40
charlyes you can easily randomise the mac address but you have to do it using the operating system after booting19:40
charlbecause by default it will always revert back to what the manufacturer set it to 19:41
magespawnmost people would not know to even look to do that19:42
charlyou can use macchanger for example19:42
charlhttps://github.com/alobbs/macchanger19:42
charlyou can also set it using the ifconfig command19:43
charlsudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF19:43
charlbut privacy extensions are enabled by default on debian and ubuntu19:43
charlopenbsd too19:43
charland i would assume most other gnu/linux or *bsd distrobutions19:43
charlso there should be absolutely no need for worry19:44
magespawni do use the other os a fair amount19:45
