[10:39] nothing is "a long way" on the internet though :P [10:39] it's about 100ms away :P [10:39] :p [11:03] hi somaunn [11:03] i go eat now [11:03] hello Guys [11:05] Whoa good Kilos [11:05] i have a question here [11:05] everytime i browse the web for some reason i get redirected to gen.xyz [11:05] what does it mean ? [11:06] i didn't experienced that with fedora [11:06] but now Ubuntu is giving that ***** stuff which i can't find the fix on google [11:24] hmm... [11:24] using firefox somaunn ? [11:26] yes, Kilos [11:26] is that the only browser you have installed [11:27] methinks try another browser and if it also does it then its not the fox thats corrupt [11:27] Maaz google opera browser for ubuntu [11:27] Kilos: "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 Ubuntu [11:27] 13.04/12.10/12.04/11.10/Linux ..." http://www.noobslab.com/2013/04/install-opera-web-browser-in-ubuntu.html ::… [11:33] opera ??? i don't really like opera [11:33] i'm considering using chrome even if i prefer firefox [11:33] the integrated ubuntu browser doesn't seems to work [11:34] try epipany then [11:34] it is alot like the fox if i remember right [11:34] epiphany [11:34] im not a chrome fan [11:35] Nobody should use chrome. Chromium is the "safer" option. [11:35] Which ubuntu are you using? somaunn [11:35] epiphany ??? it's gnome web browser right ? [11:35] epiphany should be in the repos [11:36] hi Joe_knock thank you will go for chromium [11:36] Joe_knock, ubuntu 14.04 [11:36] I have some other browser installed when chromium died on me. It's lightweight. [11:36] apt-get install epiphany [11:36] What exactly is happening when you say "I am being redirected to gen.xyz"? [11:37] sorry apt-get install epiphany-browser [11:38] otherwise you get epiphany game [11:38] hehe [11:39] case: 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 GoDaddy [11:43] sounds like a dodgy browser extension [11:43] or plugin or addon or whatever firefox calls it [11:44] Yeah, sounds like something is sitting in between and turning your browser into an ad bot. [11:45] The technique for this is to normally go through each addon and disable it whilst keeping the others active. [12:00] hmm... [12:12] wb somaunn is it sorted? [12:13] wb [12:15] not really [12:15] oi [12:16] i think i have a problem with my 3G by the same way [12:16] what CLI tool can i use to do QoS measurement of my internet connection ? [12:17] what is QoS [12:18] i'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] QoS= quality of service [12:18] run ping command and mtr [12:18] lemme find them [12:19] i also run iftop all the time [12:19] iftop ? [12:19] apt-get install iftop [12:19] then in cli you do sudo iftop [12:20] okay doing it now [12:21] hmm.... [12:21] tell me what kind of details does iftop gives ? [12:21] dont hmm... man tell him what to use [12:21] Pidgin Unity Integration Returns in Ubuntu 14.10 [12:22] Kilos, i've launched iftop but it looks like an interface monitoring tool [12:22] iftop shows all data in and out\ [12:22] amounts [12:22] ya that thing [12:24] i everytime use mtr which gives me couple of additional infos such as :packet loss, packet sent, average, best, worst [12:24] somaunn try mtr -i2 -s0 -n 8.8.8.8 [12:24] and here is a ping command [12:24] time ping -i2 -s0 -c10 8.8.8.8 [12:24] but looking for something more accurate than mtr [12:24] sjoe [12:24] tcpdump [12:26] inetpro, let me google about and come back here [12:45] did someone here tried iperf [12:50] oi i looked at the --help. you work it out then tell me [12:52] somaunn: you trying to do network throughput tests [12:55] seems like there's no love from SA ISPs these days. [12:56] inetpro, yes u right [12:56] Joe_knock i like 8ta [12:56] telcom [12:56] telkom too [12:56] 8ta is basically MTN. [12:56] no man [12:57] telkom mobile [12:57] uh, I meant to put a '?' at the back... not saying anything [12:57] mtn sucks here [12:57] inetpro, but i also want to track bootleneck and problematic node (if possible) [12:57] ai! [12:58] Joe_knock 8ta rocks especially if you have a telkom d-link modem [12:59] Kilos: 8ta runs mostly on MTNs network (their wireless parts) [12:59] well mtn here is edge and i get full 3g [13:01] i think telkom just has an arrangement with mtn to use their towers to put up telkom transceivers [13:01] guys, talking about that gen.xyz stuff [13:01] yes somaunn what did you find [13:01] i've tried to access http://translate.google.com but guess what ? [13:02] the browser displayed this : http://www.gen.xyz/availability-checker.php?src=translate.google [13:02] you went to time ping -i2 -s0 -c10 8.8.8.8 [13:02] ai! [13:02] something in your fox is corrupt [13:03] okay, how can i fix it then [13:03] did you deactivate all the plugins/addon things [13:04] i'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] this is my mtr result: http://slexy.org/view/s2TqR3Ymwi [13:04] lol [13:04] can someone translate it for me please ? [13:05] eish i see lotsa bad stuff [13:06] ThatGraemeGuy comment? [13:06] uh [13:07] summary? [13:07] you understand the mtr output [13:07] oh [13:07] is that mtr from the Mars rover? [13:07] lol [13:07] its pretty hideous [13:08] somaunn which mtr command did you use? [13:08] he definitely wont do minetest online like that hey [13:12] Kilos, mtr -i2 -s0 -n yahoo.fr [13:12] lemme try it from here [13:15] somaunn http://slexy.org/view/s20xjoaAgc [13:15] bit of a difference [13:17] kilos, please try this one for me mtr -i2 -s0 -n syn73.com [13:17] ok sec [13:21] somaunn http://slexy.org/view/s20toXjGnq [13:22] try showing your 3g provider your mtr results and see what more they want [13:24] and go past the peeps at the help desk and talk to a data technician [13:25] or even better email their CEO [13:33] Kilos, lol that's ... loooool [13:33] what? [13:33] hehe [13:33] thats what i did here when mine was slow [13:38] the you get results... good move [13:50] somaunn isnt there somewhere in firefox where you can disable redirects? [13:51] sjoe [13:51] that frightened him [14:20] wb somaunn [14:27] thanks [14:35] hi acherv [14:36] hi kilos [14:36] Even a slow connection wouldnt cause that ad thingy to pop up. This is strange behaviour for linux.
