=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [00:48] what's the quickest way to lookup which package provides a command? [00:50] dpkg -S /path/to/file [00:51] if you don't know where the file for the command is oyu can use which to find it eg: dpkg -S `which ls` [00:53] if you don't have the command installed, sometimes just attempting to run it will tell you which package you need to install [02:29] * m0nkey_ pokes diddledan [02:29] OK, dumb question. How'd I mount a NTFS volume at log on, without adding it to fstab? [02:30] I know it has something to do with fuse. [02:30] nvm.. think I just found my answer [02:30] what's wrong with fstab :( [02:31] Don't want the mount to be system wide [02:31] looks like udisks does what i want [02:36] udiskctl did it [02:38] brb. testing [02:38] beautiful, that worked [02:48] zero config? [02:57] Not quite [02:57] Added /usr/bin/udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1 to my start-up applications [02:58] ah-har [02:58] neat :> [02:58] nn \o [05:51] morning [06:59] ??

[10:17] JamesTait: what does one do on this day? [10:17] one puts on protective body armour and begins christmas shopping i think [10:18] bigcalm, reflect on the fact that one now has less than a month to complete one's Christmas shopping. [10:19] shops on sunday were jammers compared to usual [10:19] * Laney has the week off next week \o/ [10:19] mid week Christmas shopping shall be done [10:21] Oh bother [10:22] We're off to Liverpool for the weekend. I expect it to bussier than usual [10:22] an outbreak of busses is the worst... :-p [10:23] irl shops sucks [10:29] or maybe just people do [10:51] Hi All, is there anyway to get the Ubuntu desktop to give me a graphical notification of a degraded array (/proc/mdstat) ?

[10:54] thanks, we're deploying a load of hi spec desktops for scientists so notifying them from the desktop is ideally what I want [10:54] JamesTait: need milk, and there is my shopping reminder for the day ;) [10:55] diplo: looking good, although w3schools gave me some bad advice which i rectified last night with assistance from guys in here last night [10:55] its a friday afternoon job i reckon , as i have operational things to do this week :( [10:55] main thing atm is getting useful data into my dashboard [10:56] i'm such a noob at "new web", static html + css with a little php is my limit [11:04] not much of a web developer myself, but it might be good to learn === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [11:07] grrrrr some evil scumbag put a hosts.allow in addition to iptables [11:08] took me couple of hours to realise that was the issue [11:15] Just found the url in my history foobarry, looks good! [11:16] heh, i moved to a different server, might be old/broken stuff on that box [11:16] :) Looked better than the last time i'd seen it [11:17] thx [11:28] Is there a Spotify lens? [11:58] Help how do I get acpi_toshiba installed? [12:05] "modprobe acpi_toshiba" ? [12:08] awilkins: would you like to be a bit more specific? I think someone wrote one for the desktop but I'm not sure it is official or maintained and it in a ppa [12:09] davmor2, Yeah, just wondered if there was a well supported one [12:09] !info toshset [12:09] Not really a problem [12:09] toshset (source: toshset): Access much of the Toshiba laptop hardware interface. In component main, is optional. Version 1.76-4 (utopic), package size 60 kB, installed size 237 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [12:09] awilkins: if you mean in unity 8 then not that I know to but then I haven't really looked either [12:10] hey people! http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DVLWQMU/ [12:10] 'allo 'allo on DVD! [12:11] It doesn't age well [12:11] I remember really liking it as a kid [12:13] I remember being vaguely annoyed by it as a kid [12:13] daftykins: It says it is not found [12:14] Ryvius: ok. so what's the reason for this exactly? [12:14] I'm trying to get the Fn buttons for backlight adjustment working [12:15] And I don't have any of the toshiba stuff installed appearantly [12:18] hrmm, tried all the usual backlight=vendor kernel parameter stuff? [12:19] i remember having saucy feelings about the girls on it as a kid [12:19] I feel like I have. Now I'm trying that acpi_toshiba thing, but I don't know where to add it [12:19] it was a quite good programme but degenerated into complete farce everntually [12:20] Ryvius: did you google for ubuntu + your exact laptop model? [12:20] obv it was designed as panto but turned into hi-de-hi [12:20] ugh yet another kernel update for 10.04 [12:21] daftykins: Yes that's where I found the acpi_toshiba thing, but no guide on how to add it, other than a manpage for BSD [12:21] !find acpi_toshiba [12:21] File acpi_toshiba found in freebsd-manpages [12:22] wat [12:23] Ryvius: 14.04 or 14.10? tried installing the above 'toshset' just in case that does anything? [12:23] 10.04 is EOL isn't it? [12:23] obviously i'm totally guessing here though [12:23] foobarry: not on server, no [12:23] good until April [12:24] does server in this context mean only certain packages are updated still [12:24] or it uses different repos [12:24] to the desktop edition [12:24] i don't know how they handled the split originally [12:25] !lucid [12:25] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. [12:26] daftykins: 14.10, and already have toshset installed, though it cant run since it misses the toshiba kernel stuff [12:30] Ryvius: hmm, i'll be at a proper computer in a short while to see if i can't find anything more useful but i think this one is beyond me for sure. what's the model?

[13:01] foobarry: I looked at it. You can see the lines from the layers being laid down. Or are those just artefacts. [13:01] Might just be a poor cast [13:02] Nope, that does look 3d printed [13:02] see what u mean [13:03] which is funny because revell have access to injection moulding [13:03] Making the dies is costly, maybe this is an experiment?

[15:56] i tried that. [15:56] its hard [15:57] OK, well all I'm saying is it's not a linux specific issue, what model WD device is it ? [15:58] yes...model :WDBAAA3200ABK [15:59] My guess is that WD will have a way to unblock. But the device might need to have been registered and this may well cost £££ [16:00] i have a cheeky favour to ask if ali1234 is around :-$ [16:00] i hope you people find a solution for this [16:01] http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-Portable-Drives/WD-MY-PASSPORT-LOCKED-I-NEVER-SET-THE-PASSWORD/td-p/197496 [16:01] Sounds like there isn't any way round it apart from suggestions in that post [16:01] It appears they store the pass on the device and they can become corrupt [16:02] hi all [16:02] bujji, this isn't a linux issue.. it's a WD issue by the looks of things [16:02] bujji: You need to contact WD [16:02] ofcourse [16:03] i expect you people find a solution for this [16:04] exactly i refered that community [16:05] Unless you're willing to go through some very in depth hacking of the device you are basically out of luck it seems [16:05] bujji: You expect us to find a solution? [16:05] What? [16:05] bah :D [16:05] He left, I give up [16:05] Oh I have no doubt I could find a way into that drive. But £££££ [16:06] Probably, but he didn't sound very umm willing ?

[16:10] i am expecting find a way to sslove the problem [16:10] solve* [16:11] You've been told the solution [16:11] me ? [16:11] Yes, contact WD, hire someone to break into [16:11] Or try the ideas in diplo's link [16:12] at the first i refer that link before i came here [16:13] So....you tried those? [16:13] yes. I have no solution [16:13] Call WD support [16:14] This isn't a Linux or Ubuntu problem, this is a WD problem [16:14] You /might/ be able to hire a disc recover specialist to decrypt the drive, but it won't be cheap [16:15] don't reckon [16:16] if its encrypted then surely its only accessible with the encryption key [16:16] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flom4k7lPUo [16:16] foobarry: I was thinking they could possibly by-pass the firmware and brute force. Like I said, not cheap [16:18] bujji: The freezer trick won't help with encrypted data [16:18] okey [16:19] its really a challenge for me.. [16:20] The data is *encrypted*. If you don't have the password you need to call WD support and speak to them. *OR* you have to pay someone to break the encryption. [16:20] I'll repeat - this is not a Linux or Ubuntu problem. [16:21] thank you.. [16:22] bujji: Is the data important or do you just want to be able to use the drive again? [16:22] is there any way to contact them?? [16:22] yes important..

[18:16] in 24 minutes [18:23] daftykins: I paid £175 for that SSD about 3 weeks ago [18:23] :) [18:23] where did you buy?

[18:24] argh [18:25] it frustrates me to my very core when we get treated as second class citizens [18:25] It was a case of having to be able to pick one up from store,rather than a cheaper price buying online [18:25] daftykins: So if they ship to the channel islands, you get a 25% discount over the rest of the uk and consider that as 2nd class citizens? [18:26] :) [18:26] not 25% [18:26] where do you get 25% from? [18:26] he did the math backwards [18:26] if vat was 25% you'd get a 20% discount by not paying it [18:26] Yep, spot on, good job I'm an accountant [18:26] but it isn't [18:26] Didn't have my calculator to hand [18:28] you don't need a calculator to do VAT :( [18:28] 10% and double it [18:28] i quite like the look of this games console video capture device [18:28] But not backwards [18:28] yeah backwards is harder. 20/120 [18:28] well i don't know what values you were comparing anyway since i never mentioned any [18:28] (that were excluding VAT) [18:29] or 1/6. so 16.666% [18:29] daftykins: Would it have been cheaper than mine or ali1234's if you'd had to add 20% vat? [18:29] i dunno, this was months ago [18:29] same price probably? [18:29] well, same price as mine. cheaper than yours [18:30] ali1234: Would be £133.33 assuming his price included vat [18:30] Mine was £125 ish [18:30] £145 ish [18:31] i bought mine with magic internet money anyway [18:31] hang on let me compare from the true source [18:31] But regardless of price, it was a good recommendation from ali1234 [18:31] ugh not that coin malarkey :P [18:32] daftykins: Does that mean you paid in "mycoinnameisbetterthanyourcoinname" currency :) [18:33] DJones: you come up with some very odd questions [18:33] just standard ol' GBP [18:34] ok so 512GB MX100 direct from crucial is £138.99 to me [18:34] Heh, by magic internet money, I thought you meant random-coin [18:34] it's £129 ex vat on scan, which is where i bought mine [18:34] that wasn't me that said that, DJones [18:35] * daftykins makes a coffee for DJones ;) [18:35] * DJones throws a whisky in the coffee [18:35] * DJones Oops, that was ahalf a bottle [18:36] + £5 for delivery [18:36] that probably doesn't cover channel islands though [18:36] no crucial's delivery is free [18:36] you can pick various levels but why would you if you can get it free :> [18:36] yeah but it's still more expensive [18:36] than what?

[18:46] it's okay. do you really need 16 ports tho? cos 5 port is £17 [18:46] and they do an 8 port one as well [18:48] yes, i have an 8 port already and use more than that [18:48] not all at once typically but i like to have things patched in [18:56] https://www.dropbox.com/s/q4kv2v53o0tf934/amazonconfuse.JPG?dl=0 [18:56] how confusing [18:58] all the more bacon here for us [18:58] whoops, wrong channel...

[20:03] thing is it only makes sense to charge for something like that, but equally you can't justify the time [20:03] i don't think it matters for a backup NAS for macs that hosts no online services [20:04] i would say NAS units are most likely to have exposed cgi scripts that use bash [20:04] was the email from the nas or the company who made the nas? can be justified as a smart device callout... [20:04] haserl is quite common in that type of system [20:06] zmoylan-pi: automated email notification from the unit, yeah [20:08] so pass on that email and say that your hardware is recommending an importany security update. it may not be providing web services but you have no idea what security problems will apprear around the corner...
