[00:01] <bigcalm> I've been following the very basic set-up from http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/vpn.openvpn
[00:01] <bigcalm> Will possibly tweak it tomorrow afternoon when I get home
[00:02] <bigcalm> But I have also some LEGO models to build - Snowspeeder (Hoth), AT-AT and Super Star Destroyer
[00:02] <bigcalm> No idea where I'm going to put the SSD once it's built
[00:03] <daftykins> bigcalm: got IP forwarding enabled on the router?
[00:04] <daftykins> mind you that should be default really
[00:05] <bigcalm> 11% remaining on my laptop (have had the phone USB teathered). Guess I should switch to dead wood book and start Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1st time for everything)
[00:05] <daftykins> heh
[00:06] <bigcalm> toodles
[00:07] <daftykins> enjoy o/
[05:50] <mapps> sheees
[05:51] <mapps> i cant keep doing this
[05:51] <mapps> :L(
[06:34] <mapps> drinjk is gonna kill me
[06:34] <mapps> *drink
[08:47] <map> :)
[08:48] <map> whos awake?
[08:48] <map> SOUTH LONDON for life:D
[08:48] <map> YET IM a spurs fan
[08:53] <zmoylan-pi> alive if not awake...
[10:19] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[11:22] <Nathan2111> How do you make a new directory
[11:35] <brobostigon> mkdir
[11:51] <zmoylan-pi> never hangs around long enough for the answer
[12:06] <brobostigon> yep.
[12:11] <zmoylan-pi> some bot that waits for his ip to show up and bombard him with the info he was looking for... :-p
[12:25] <awilkins> firmly in the category of question that can be solved by saying "tap alt and type what you want"
[12:27] <awilkins> Although for some reason if you tap alt in nautilus and type "new directory" it's the third thing in the list... does the alt-menu have a set of aliases?
[12:27] <awilkins> (the menu item is "New Folder" - but I imagine most of us think "Directory"
[12:28] <awilkins> Aliases for common nouns to improve the matches in the alt-menu would seem to be a good idea
[13:59] <mjayk> afternoon all
[15:19] <foobarry> guy on my bus looked like super mario, even down to the moustach eand dungarees
[16:53] <Azelphur> random offtopic stuff, anyone familiar with Garmin GPS's? I've been given one to update, using virtulabox with win7, usb passthrough'd the GPS, it shows up in Windows as a "USB Mass Storage Device" but it says drivers weren't successfully installed, and Garmin Express doesn't see it.
[16:55] <penguin42> Azelphur: If you were to boot a Linux in your virtualbox does it show up in lsusb in the guest in the same way as it shows up in the host - i.e. has it really passed through?
[16:56] <Azelphur> penguin42: I'm going to check that now, on the host it shows up as a usb mass storage device and auto mounts.
[17:01] <Azelphur> penguin42: yup, shows up fine in a Linux guest.
[17:02] <daftykins> don't they do some funky mode switching where it tells the device to open up another sort of... thing :D
[17:02]  * Azelphur shrugs
[17:03] <daftykins> i've done an update of one on Windows and even there it looked anything but normal, so that could complicate things
[17:03] <Azelphur> gonna try it in an XP guest.
[17:03] <daftykins> you know, if you boot a matching architecture windows 7 installer from USB, or from the Zalman - you can run executables from another flash drive. i suppose drivers would be out of the question though
[17:05] <Azelphur> hehe
[17:06] <daftykins> i did that when i didn't want to install Windows but wanted to run a BIOS updater or something
[17:12] <map> ARGHHH
[17:12] <map> feel so rough again
[17:12] <map> 30 cigs and 20 pints later
[17:12] <map> ;]
[17:13] <daftykins> silly boy!
[17:13] <map> usual
[17:14] <map> someday il quit smoking
[17:14] <map> or ..i guess stop breathing :)
[17:15] <Azelphur> nope, it doesn't appear to work at all on XP.
[17:16] <daftykins> dinosaur OS :D
[17:16] <daftykins> Azelphur: i think you've met your match on this one, in Loonix terms.
[17:16] <Azelphur> well it doesn't work on 7 and it doesn't work on XP
[17:16] <Azelphur> xD
[17:17] <daftykins> yeah but that's vbox no doubt
[17:17] <daftykins> when i did this one, i had to download a program from their site - and annoyingly there are two with very similar names
[17:17] <Azelphur> never had anything that didn't work because of vbox
[17:17] <daftykins> one does one set of models, the other does another
[17:17] <daftykins> what does device manager show about this failed driver situation?
[17:19] <Azelphur> (!) USB Mass Storage Device
[17:19] <penguin42> Azelphur: Is it a usb2 or usb3 device and what type of port do you have it plugged into?
[17:19] <Azelphur> right click properties, "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
[17:19] <Azelphur> penguin42: I'm guessing it's USB2, and I have it plugged into my keyboards built in USB hub
[17:19] <zmoylan-pi> insufficent power?
[17:20] <Azelphur> zmoylan-pi: no, it works on Linux hosts and guests just fine.
[17:20] <daftykins> dude, don't use a hub :P
[17:20] <penguin42> it's worth trying a port on it's own if you have one spare
[17:21] <daftykins> not firing up a driver for a mass storage device is quirky, perhaps you're meant to put on some Garmin gubbins first
[17:21] <Azelphur> daftykins: I installed the garmin USB drivers and garmin express
[17:22] <Azelphur> doesn't work on a dedicated port either.
[17:22] <daftykins> is it charged?
[17:23] <Azelphur> daftykins: it works on Linux hosts and guests...
[17:23] <Azelphur> so it's not a hardware issue.
[17:23] <Azelphur> or even a virtualbox issue I would think
[17:23] <daftykins> and yet you're staring at a non-functional device in a VM
[17:24] <daftykins> :)
[17:24] <Azelphur> yes, I'm blaming Windows/Garmin :)
[17:24] <ali1234> virtualbox doesn't fully support usb2
[17:25] <m0nkey_> It does sort-of support USB2, you need to install the addon from Oracle's virtualbox website
[17:28] <Azelphur> well, I think this fellow is out of luck anywya
[17:28] <Azelphur> it doesn't seem to work xD
[17:28] <daftykins> the whole device?
[17:29] <Azelphur> daftykins: the device works fine
[17:29] <Azelphur> the USB storage works fine
[17:30] <Azelphur> Garmins software...does not :P
[17:30] <daftykins> what does it do?
[17:30] <Azelphur> daftykins: see above?
[17:30] <penguin42> Azelphur: You could give it a go in KVM, USB pass through is a bit of an art, I think it does USB2
[17:30] <daftykins> nah i meant what does the software do 0o
[17:30] <penguin42> Azelphur: However, either way, just make sure the host kernel hasn't mounted the device
[17:30] <Azelphur> daftykins: update the maps.
[17:31] <daftykins> i meant for failing XD
[17:31] <Azelphur> daftykins: says it can't detect the device
[17:31] <Azelphur> penguin42: could do, seems like a PITA though
[17:31] <daftykins> sounds like what i had with this one where it was for the wrong model range
[17:34]  * Azelphur shrugs
[17:35] <Azelphur> daftykins: at the very least Windows should have no problem mounting it as a USB mass storage device, because Linux guests can too
[17:35] <penguin42> Azelphur: If you install virt-manager and qemu-kvm it should be OK, but it will take a bit of rework for you
[17:36] <Azelphur> yea, and then a Win7 install, I think this fellow will have to handle his own GPS :P
[17:36] <daftykins> Azelphur: yeah i don't think i ever had issues with that part. points to your VM really
[17:37] <daftykins> did it mount fine before any of the Garmin junk went on?
[17:38] <foobarry> has spirhave spotify stopped doing ads on the web player?
[17:38] <Azelphur> daftykins: no
[17:38] <foobarry> just played an album and had no ads
[18:02] <diddledan> allo allo
[18:04] <daftykins> good moaning, diddledan
[18:04] <daftykins> hmm Unreal 1, Unreal 2, UT99 GOTY and UT2004 are $2 each on gog.com right now
[18:05] <daftykins> that's barely over a fiver!
[18:07] <diddledan> daftykins, were you just pissing by the door?
[18:08] <daftykins> naturally, sir
[18:09] <zmoylan-pi> with the dinomoot disgeesed as a loof of breed?
[18:10] <diddledan> lol
[18:10] <diddledan> I loved that series
[18:10]  * zmoylan-pi pats a hard drive with all the episodes...
[18:11]  * zmoylan-pi now pats the 'only fools and horses' dvds which will start to be added to it tonight after i rip 2 movies.  the great escape and the princess bride
[18:12] <zmoylan-pi> should pass and hour or 20 over crimbo
[18:13] <zmoylan-pi> was tempted by all of dads army but i prefer only fools
[18:14] <daftykins> ;)
[18:14] <daftykins> trouble with marathoning is you need a break, you should have at least two!
[18:49] <diddledan> this is nuts (you may have seen it already - it's been doing the rounds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVBcEg6klJI
[18:53] <penguin42> hehe
[18:54] <penguin42> reminds me of Terminator 2
[19:34] <daftykins> why are vmware vids related? XD
[19:36] <zmoylan-pi> because you're logged in?
[19:37] <zmoylan-pi> i think the last time i was logged in while using youtube was before they killed google reader :-)
[19:38] <zmoylan-pi> no reason to be logged in after that was killed off
[19:40] <daftykins> no, i never allow such sites to have me auth'd
[19:40] <daftykins> mmm i loved reader, i had to switch to feedly... which is alright
[19:41] <penguin42> daftykins: I use newsblur (free version)
[19:41] <zmoylan-pi> i use newsbeuter on my rasp pi.  works well enough though i only keep last 2 weeks of headlines as more than that slows it down on the pi.  when out and about the rss reader in opera mini is good enough
[19:55] <zmoylan-pi> i could make the rasp pi visible while out and about and ssh in but am not brave enough to set that up yet
[21:07] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: as long as you're on a non-standard port and have a sane password it'd be fine :) there's always fail2ban as well of course!
[21:07] <daftykins> if sticking to password auth at all
[21:13] <shauno> from the attempts I see, 'security through obscurity' has some real value
[21:13] <daftykins> attempts on port 22? yarr
[21:13] <shauno> disable root, don't use obvious usernames like staff, admin, pi, etc.  that's most the dictionary attacks gone
[21:14] <ali1234> well it never hurts when used in combination with other methods
[21:14] <daftykins> port knocking could be fun to play with sometime
[21:14] <daftykins> but that means more forwards, heh
[23:48] <zmoylan-pi> i use tablet for watching tv and movies as well as playing podcasts beside pc when i'm working.  also for leaving a twitter client open so stream can flow past without taking up resources on main pc
