Kiloshi somaunn  11:03
Kilosi go eat now11:03
somaunnhello Guys11:03
somaunnWhoa good Kilos 11:05
somaunni have a question here11:05
somaunneverytime i browse the web for some reason i get redirected to gen.xyz11:05
somaunnwhat does it mean ?11:05
somaunni didn't experienced that with fedora11:06
somaunnbut now Ubuntu is giving that ***** stuff which i can't find the fix on google11:06
Kiloshmm...11:24
Kilosusing firefox somaunn  ?11:24
somaunnyes, Kilos 11:26
Kilosis that the only browser you have installed11:26
Kilosmethinks try another browser and if it also does it then its not the fox thats corrupt11:27
KilosMaaz  google opera browser for ubuntu11:27
MaazKilos: "OperaBrowser - Community Help Wiki - Official Ubuntu Documentation" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser :: "Download Opera browser - Opera Software" http://www.opera.com/download :: "Opera Web Browser | Faster & safer | Download the new Internet ..." http://www.opera.com/download/linux :: "Install Opera Web browser in Ubuntu11:27
Maaz13.04/12.10/12.04/11.10/Linux ..." http://www.noobslab.com/2013/04/install-opera-web-browser-in-ubuntu.html ::…11:27
somaunnopera ??? i don't really like opera 11:33
somaunni'm considering using chrome even if i prefer firefox11:33
somaunnthe integrated ubuntu browser doesn't seems to work11:33
Kilostry epipany then11:34
Kilosit is alot like the fox if i remember right11:34
Kilosepiphany11:34
Kilosim not a chrome fan 11:34
Joe_knockNobody should use chrome. Chromium is the "safer" option.11:35
Joe_knockWhich ubuntu are you using? somaunn 11:35
somaunnepiphany ??? it's gnome web browser right ?11:35
Kilosepiphany should be in the repos11:35
somaunnhi Joe_knock thank you will go for chromium11:36
somaunnJoe_knock, ubuntu 14.0411:36
Joe_knockI have some other browser installed when chromium died on me. It's lightweight.11:36
Kilosapt-get install epiphany11:36
Joe_knockWhat exactly is happening when you say "I am being redirected to gen.xyz"?11:36
Kilossorry apt-get install epiphany-browser11:37
Kilosotherwise you get epiphany game11:38
Kiloshehe11:38
somaunncase: trying to access a link from google.com search result by right clicking > open in a tab. the page loading work starts then endsup showing http://gen.xyz...... with advert of web hosting to GoDaddy11:39
ThatGraemeGuysounds like a dodgy browser extension11:43
ThatGraemeGuyor plugin or addon or whatever firefox calls it11:43
Joe_knockYeah, sounds like something is sitting in between and turning your browser into an ad bot.11:44
Joe_knockThe technique for this is to normally go through each addon and disable it whilst keeping the others active.11:45
Kiloshmm...12:00
Kiloswb somaunn  is it sorted?12:12
Joe_knockwb12:13
somaunnnot really12:15
Kilosoi12:15
somaunni think i have a problem with my 3G by the same way12:16
somaunnwhat CLI tool can i use to do QoS measurement of my internet connection ?12:16
Kiloswhat is QoS12:17
somaunni'm also fighting with my ISP to get better signal but i have to prove things when i say " your internet connection is problematic "12:18
somaunnQoS= quality of service12:18
Kilosrun ping command and mtr12:18
Kiloslemme find them12:18
Kilosi also run iftop all the time12:19
somaunniftop ?12:19
Kilosapt-get install iftop12:19
Kilosthen in cli you do sudo iftop12:19
somaunnokay doing it now12:20
inetprohmm....12:21
somaunntell me what kind of details does iftop gives ?12:21
Kilosdont hmm... man tell him what to use12:21
inetproPidgin Unity Integration Returns in Ubuntu 14.10 12:21
somaunnKilos, i've launched iftop but it looks like an interface monitoring tool12:22
Kilosiftop shows all data in and out\12:22
Kilosamounts12:22
Kilosya that thing12:22
somaunni everytime use mtr which gives me couple of additional infos such as :packet loss, packet sent, average, best, worst12:24
Kilossomaunn  try mtr -i2 -s0 -n 8.8.8.812:24
Kilosand here is a ping command12:24
Kilostime ping -i2 -s0 -c10 8.8.8.812:24
somaunnbut looking for something more accurate than mtr12:24
Kilossjoe12:24
inetprotcpdump12:24
somaunninetpro, let me google about and come back here12:26
somaunndid someone here tried iperf12:45
Kilosoi i looked at the --help. you work it out then tell me12:50
inetprosomaunn: you trying to do network throughput tests12:52
Joe_knockseems like there's no love from SA ISPs these days.12:55
somaunninetpro, yes u right12:56
KilosJoe_knock  i like 8ta12:56
Kilostelcom12:56
Kilostelkom too12:56
Joe_knock8ta is basically MTN.12:56
Kilosno man12:56
Kilostelkom mobile12:57
inetprouh, I meant to put a '?' at the back... not saying anything12:57
Kilosmtn sucks here12:57
somaunninetpro, but i also want to track bootleneck and problematic node (if possible)12:57
inetproai!12:57
KilosJoe_knock  8ta rocks especially if you have a telkom d-link modem12:58
Joe_knockKilos: 8ta runs mostly on MTNs network (their wireless parts)12:59
Kiloswell mtn here is edge and i get full 3g12:59
Kilosi think telkom just has an arrangement with mtn to use their towers to put up telkom transceivers13:01
somaunnguys, talking about that gen.xyz stuff 13:01
Kilosyes somaunn  what did you find13:01
somaunni've tried to access http://translate.google.com but guess what ?13:01
somaunnthe browser displayed this : http://www.gen.xyz/availability-checker.php?src=translate.google13:02
Kilosyou went to  time ping -i2 -s0 -c10 8.8.8.813:02
Kilosai!13:02
Kilossomething in your fox is corrupt13:02
somaunnokay, how can i fix it then 13:03
Kilosdid you deactivate all the plugins/addon things13:03
somaunni'm even thinking about looking at DNS entries etc... other web browsers are not displaying that gen.xyz page but epiphany said "Ooops"13:04
somaunnthis is my mtr result: http://slexy.org/view/s2TqR3Ymwi 13:04
