=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [00:55] hmm... i got the malicious redirect to happen [00:56] server is definitely compromised then [00:56] ali1234: so assuming you're about to reinstall the question then is 'how' [00:57] not my problem luckily [00:58] this is one of those legacy red hat servers i was talking about the other day [00:58] ali1234: Well more I mean 'how did it get infected' [00:58] yeah, again, not my problem [00:58] ali1234: Ah, how legacy? [00:59] CentOS release 5.11 (Final) [00:59] that should still have security updates I think [00:59] it does [01:00] it's "legacy" in the sense that the web developers who made the site installed it all and then quit the web dev business, leaving the whole server unsupported [01:01] it's a VM hosted... somewhere, with "sort of" support [01:01] it seems the safest way from their point of view :-) [01:01] various sysadmin log into it all the time and do things [01:01] nobody has any idea who they are but they seem to be logging in from the hosting company IPs [01:02] it also auto updates and also has puppet and virtualmin installed [01:02] so pretty much nobody understands how it works and the thing was well overdue a reinstall anyway [01:02] nod, still worrying when you don't know how [01:03] my guess would be the hosting company is infected and their sysadmins are spreading it when they ssh into servers and do stuff [01:03] either that or someone bruteforced root password, which is still enabled [01:06] nod [01:36] ugh [01:36] root password :( === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [04:10] tum-te-tum [04:13] hi ho [04:17] mornin' [04:17] were you back over for Christmas, mapps?

My current laptop is fine except that the screen is failing. Sooner or later it's going to fail fully [09:11] bashrc: Which is more important, quality, price or performance? [09:12] bashrc: And if it's just the screen, they can be replaced. [09:18] +1 for fix [09:18] maybe its just a £5 part [09:19] TwistedLuci: I'm looking for maximum software freedom. No binary blobs [09:21] I'll search for screens [09:29] for 2015 I may try going all the way and trying to run all free software. I already do on the server, it's really just graphics and wifi that are needed on a laptop [09:30] maybe I could grow a beard too :) [09:46] lcd inverter problem? [09:47] bashrc: what is the actual problem with the screen [09:49] especially in cold weather (like now) on boot the screen rapidly goes completely white. After it warms up, about 20 mins later, everything is fine [09:50] over time this behavior seems to be getting worse, and it also appears to be unrelated to the operating system [09:51] this was like all tvs in the 80s :) === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:51] heh, I don't think so [09:52] it's almost as if the liquid crystals are disabled by cold weather [09:55] having an effective boot time of 20-30 mins is getting irritating, and I think one day the screen is just going to remain white indefinitely [09:56] does it slowly change colour or does it flicker? [09:56] it flickers, weird colours, some white some normal, then after about 20-30mins it's ok [09:57] you probably need a whole new motherboard then [09:57] yeah I was thinking it might not just be the screen, could be graphics hardware or the physical interface between the board and the screen [09:58] also this happens immediately at power on, even before the OS has booted, and I've used various OS's on this laptop, so I don't think it's software related [10:02] it could be solder [10:02] able [10:02] eg http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/Laptop-screen-needs-to-warm-up/td-p/1031961 [10:03] yes you could try reflowing the motherboard [10:04] if i do "rsync -avz user@host:/path/" where do the files go? [10:07] answer: nowhere, it just lists the files [10:23] foobarry: yes the symptoms are very similar to that, so it could be something like something coming unsoldered from the board. After it warms and expands it makes contact again [10:25] http://therestartproject.org/ [10:26] lots of people around who can help [10:26] better to repair otherwise good things rather than send rare metals to landfill [10:34] http://ifixit.org/blog/6882/why-i-drilled-holes-in-my-macbook-pro-and-put-it-in-the-oven/ [10:35] I had an Amiga you had to warm up with a hair dryer before the keyboard worked [10:41] morning boys and girls. [10:43] hi guys. i'm having a consistent issue crop up every once in a while. [10:44] the wifi just drops the connection, the select wifi doesn't list any id's [10:45] anything in dmesg? [10:48] too much noise in there. [10:49] to get back online i disabled and re-enabled wifi. [10:49] but inbetween i also pluggedin my android phone and enabled tethering to google for things [10:49] just too much activity to debug. [10:50] grep [11:17] NET||abuse: by all means dump your dmesg to pastebin and we can check for you [11:17] do a private paste though just in case [11:17] i've got a samsung charging dock for galaxy S3 which just has a microusb on it [11:18] it work with some things but not others, why? [11:18] for example i can plug my nexus 7 in to it and it charges [11:19] but moto g does not [11:40] current? [11:41] moto g requires min current? [11:41] i have one which doesn't charge well on low powered charger < 1a [11:41] no, it works fine on the same cable [11:41] hm [11:55] Does it have data cables? [11:58] A forum post I'm looking at says "try rebooting the phone while connected to a laptop with the USB cable" === arjun is now known as Guest46054 [12:43] ERROR: Can't change MAC: interface up or not permission: Device or resource busy [12:46] ERROR: Can't change MAC: interface up or not permission: Device or resource b [12:46] popey:?

[12:53] penguin42:it gave me perinent mac and current mac,nothing has changed [12:54] bujji: It's telling you 1) 'interface up' or 2) ' not permission' [12:54] bujji: So, have you got permission? Is the interface up? [12:55] penguin42:dont know [12:56] bujji: Well, what do you do when you don't have permissions normally? [12:57] penguin42: I logged in as a root [12:57] bujji: OK, so if you're doing it at root then it's probably not permissions; so ok what about the other part 'interface up' - is your wireless interface setup and connected? [12:59] penguin42:even i tried with eth0 also same error. [12:59] how about you answer the question I asked? [13:04] penguin42:? [13:06] penguin42:are you there?

[14:12] penguin42: still getting on well with the OnePlus? [14:13] popey: Yeh, I've not got very far in getting a newer kernel on it [14:13] popey: Android kernels are even worse than I imagined they would be [14:13] hah [14:14] popey: I'm trying to merge a 3.6.x at the moment; it's got very slim chances [14:14] if it were easy the sense of achievement if you do it wouldn't be as great :-) [14:14] popey: Classic example; it's got a hack (for the Find7 specifically) in the ext4 code to do vfat mount like setting of uid/gid - I don't know why though [14:15] ugh [14:15] zmoylan-pi: Yeh, I'd assumed I'd manage to find a kernel that was close to it that I could work with, but the closest tag I can find to the find7 cm-11 kernel is git diff |wc -l 800k lines different [14:17] zmoylan-pi: and then you find bits of it are based on code-aurora's kernel tree that has tags like M8960AAAAANLYA100709A and LNX.LA.3.5.2.2.c3-00210-8x74.0 - and the second of those's Makefile says it's actually a 3.4.0 kernel === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [16:03] http://static.fsf.org/nosvn/FSF30-video/FSF_30_720p.webm <-- watch it fullscreen with headphones - the audio is impressive === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [16:35] what is it diddledan ?

[17:11] full screen adverts, it's their ad platform enabling that [17:12] oh [17:12] its a bad move [17:13] or something they need to fix somehow? [17:13] yes, it does look to be the most expensive app I've purchased - nearly 2 years ago now so not a fortune overall [17:13] i can fix by cyanogen + adaway but dont wanna wipe my whole phone [17:13] i go out and buy a piece of hardware and they want to shove ads in my face, well that just makes me annoyed [17:14] adaway requires root but root is tricky with moto g i hear [17:15] then i won't see any ads, so google/devs lose over all [17:16] rooting stops OTA updates so think i will wait till lollipoop [17:17] the problem is..how to backup phone if you don't have root?

[18:04] no [18:05] still, don't be a richard , as they say [18:05] I'm sure they would have filed it with MS [18:05] it's the i.t. industry, it's richards as far as the eye can see :-/ [18:06] the richard recursion algorithm [18:06] it's richards all the way down...
