[00:01] I've been following the very basic set-up from http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/vpn.openvpn [00:01] Will possibly tweak it tomorrow afternoon when I get home [00:02] But I have also some LEGO models to build - Snowspeeder (Hoth), AT-AT and Super Star Destroyer [00:02] No idea where I'm going to put the SSD once it's built [00:03] bigcalm: got IP forwarding enabled on the router? [00:04] mind you that should be default really [00:05] 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] heh [00:06] toodles [00:07] enjoy o/ [05:50] sheees [05:51] i cant keep doing this [05:51] :L( [06:34] drinjk is gonna kill me [06:34] *drink === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [08:47] :) [08:48] whos awake? [08:48] SOUTH LONDON for life:D [08:48] YET IM a spurs fan [08:53] alive if not awake... [10:19] morning boys and girls. [11:22] How do you make a new directory [11:35] mkdir [11:51] never hangs around long enough for the answer [12:06] yep. [12:11] some bot that waits for his ip to show up and bombard him with the info he was looking for... :-p [12:25] firmly in the category of question that can be solved by saying "tap alt and type what you want" [12:27] 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] (the menu item is "New Folder" - but I imagine most of us think "Directory" [12:28] Aliases for common nouns to improve the matches in the alt-menu would seem to be a good idea [13:59] afternoon all [15:19] guy on my bus looked like super mario, even down to the moustach eand dungarees [16:53] 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] 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] 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] penguin42: yup, shows up fine in a Linux guest. [17:02] 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] i've done an update of one on Windows and even there it looked anything but normal, so that could complicate things [17:03] gonna try it in an XP guest. [17:03] 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] hehe [17:06] i did that when i didn't want to install Windows but wanted to run a BIOS updater or something [17:12] ARGHHH [17:12] feel so rough again [17:12] 30 cigs and 20 pints later [17:12] ;] [17:13] silly boy! [17:13] usual [17:14] someday il quit smoking [17:14] or ..i guess stop breathing :) [17:15] nope, it doesn't appear to work at all on XP. [17:16] dinosaur OS :D [17:16] Azelphur: i think you've met your match on this one, in Loonix terms. [17:16] well it doesn't work on 7 and it doesn't work on XP [17:16] xD [17:17] yeah but that's vbox no doubt [17:17] 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] never had anything that didn't work because of vbox [17:17] one does one set of models, the other does another [17:17] what does device manager show about this failed driver situation? [17:19] (!) USB Mass Storage Device [17:19] Azelphur: Is it a usb2 or usb3 device and what type of port do you have it plugged into? [17:19] right click properties, "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" [17:19] penguin42: I'm guessing it's USB2, and I have it plugged into my keyboards built in USB hub [17:19] insufficent power? [17:20] zmoylan-pi: no, it works on Linux hosts and guests just fine. [17:20] dude, don't use a hub :P [17:20] it's worth trying a port on it's own if you have one spare [17:21] 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] daftykins: I installed the garmin USB drivers and garmin express [17:22] doesn't work on a dedicated port either. [17:22] is it charged? [17:23] daftykins: it works on Linux hosts and guests... [17:23] so it's not a hardware issue. [17:23] or even a virtualbox issue I would think [17:23] and yet you're staring at a non-functional device in a VM [17:24] :) [17:24] yes, I'm blaming Windows/Garmin :) [17:24] virtualbox doesn't fully support usb2 [17:25] It does sort-of support USB2, you need to install the addon from Oracle's virtualbox website [17:28] well, I think this fellow is out of luck anywya [17:28] it doesn't seem to work xD [17:28] the whole device? [17:29] daftykins: the device works fine [17:29] the USB storage works fine [17:30] Garmins software...does not :P [17:30] what does it do? [17:30] daftykins: see above? [17:30] 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] nah i meant what does the software do 0o [17:30] Azelphur: However, either way, just make sure the host kernel hasn't mounted the device [17:30] daftykins: update the maps. [17:31] i meant for failing XD [17:31] daftykins: says it can't detect the device [17:31] penguin42: could do, seems like a PITA though [17:31] sounds like what i had with this one where it was for the wrong model range [17:34] * Azelphur shrugs [17:35] 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] 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] yea, and then a Win7 install, I think this fellow will have to handle his own GPS :P [17:36] Azelphur: yeah i don't think i ever had issues with that part. points to your VM really [17:37] did it mount fine before any of the Garmin junk went on? [17:38] has spirhave spotify stopped doing ads on the web player? [17:38] daftykins: no [17:38] just played an album and had no ads [18:02] allo allo [18:04] good moaning, diddledan [18:04] hmm Unreal 1, Unreal 2, UT99 GOTY and UT2004 are $2 each on gog.com right now [18:05] that's barely over a fiver! [18:07] daftykins, were you just pissing by the door? [18:08] naturally, sir [18:09] with the dinomoot disgeesed as a loof of breed? [18:10] lol [18:10] 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] should pass and hour or 20 over crimbo [18:13] was tempted by all of dads army but i prefer only fools [18:14] ;) [18:14] trouble with marathoning is you need a break, you should have at least two! [18:49] this is nuts (you may have seen it already - it's been doing the rounds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVBcEg6klJI [18:53] hehe [18:54] reminds me of Terminator 2 [19:34] why are vmware vids related? XD [19:36] because you're logged in? [19:37] i think the last time i was logged in while using youtube was before they killed google reader :-) [19:38] no reason to be logged in after that was killed off [19:40] no, i never allow such sites to have me auth'd [19:40] mmm i loved reader, i had to switch to feedly... which is alright [19:41] daftykins: I use newsblur (free version) [19:41] 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] 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] 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] if sticking to password auth at all [21:13] from the attempts I see, 'security through obscurity' has some real value [21:13] attempts on port 22? yarr [21:13] disable root, don't use obvious usernames like staff, admin, pi, etc. that's most the dictionary attacks gone [21:14] well it never hurts when used in combination with other methods [21:14] port knocking could be fun to play with sometime [21:14] but that means more forwards, heh [23:48] 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
