AzelphurHey folks, I have a USB IR receiver and remote that came with it, seems to be plug and play apart from a bunch of the buttons don't work. Any ideas?19:21
Azelphurthe receiver blinks an LED when it sees button presses, so hardware wise I assume it's working19:21
foobarryanyone experienced problems with TWRP on android? sent my phone into a terminal bootloop after performing a nandroid backup19:22
Azelphurfoobarry: I've noticed it does strange things to the OS when you backup, are you looking to factory reset?19:22
foobarryi was trying to backup19:22
foobarryit killed the recovery partition and OS19:23
foobarryhad to format the whole storage and start from scratch again19:23
penguin42foobarry: You're sure you've got the right TWRP for your exact device?19:23
foobarryyes penguin4219:23
penguin42hmm19:23
foobarryafter doing it twice, i switched to CWM and seems more stable19:23
shaunoAzelphur: tried using lirc?  I think irw should spit out stuff for each keypress, regardless of whether it's mapped to something19:24
penguin42foobarry: I'm guessing it's just a bad or build for that device; sometimes the layout gets changed between versions of the firmware19:24
Azelphurshauno: nah I haven't, just using the plug and play, guess I should go learn lircd19:24
shaunoit might be worth poking just to make sure events are being generated19:25
foobarrybasically destroyed my phone a few times in 2 days19:25
foobarrynow its OK i hope19:25
foobarrycouldn't wait any longer to get a newer adnroid as 5.0.2 was shocking19:26
shauno(I haven't used the /dev/input stuff though, so I'm not sure what you'd do with them if you did find the events)19:26
penguin42foobarry: What phone?19:26
foobarry7 seconds between switching apps19:26
foobarrymotog X103219:26
penguin42nod19:26
foobarry5.1.1 not out yet19:26
foobarryalthough i may have jinxed it and will come out tomorrow now19:26
bujjihow can i add sd4 partition to sd5 here is my details https://bpaste.net/show/2a2ed32ec2b619:26
bujjihello o/19:29
AzelphurI found this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140586 that block of code doesn't look too promising19:30
Azelphurshauno: ^ :(19:30
shaunobujji: you mean merge them?19:30
bujjishauno: hm es19:31
penguin42Azelphur: Wire shark can watch USB, so you can see if anything at all appears19:32
Azelphurpenguin42: I see many people with this problem, so we can assume not a hardware fault19:34
Azelphurso stuff no doubt appears in wireshark :)19:34
shaunohm, I'm not sure I can touch that one.  especially with one of them being ntfs.19:34
shaunoyou need to backup all data off sda4, delete it, and the swap partition, then grow the extended part into the rest of the disk.  create a new swap at the end of the disk, then grow 4 into the slack19:35
shaunobut you will screw this up on the first three attempts and trash everything.  so lots of backups.  lots of backups.  so much backup that it's quicker just to repartition and start again.19:35
bujjii took backup of sd4, so sd5 lso i have to take.19:36
shaunowell the thing is, the "easy" method is just to copy all the data somewhere safe, re-do your partitions, then copy it back again19:39
shaunothe "clever" way is so messy that you 100% need that backup anyway.  which is the first half of doing it the easy way19:39
bujjientire data i have to copy and partition again?19:40
shaunoso it boils down to whether you actually want to make life easy for yourself19:40
shaunoyou don't have to, but I think it's the least risky19:40
shaunofinish your backup, re-do your partitions, then go to bed while it copies back.19:40
bujjiany doc..19:41
shaunothe "clever" version isn't much quicker since you're trying to join ntfs+ext4, so you have to copy all of one anyway19:41
bujjihmm,if it is added /   ?19:43

penguin42that's not a very good password is it20:09
diddledan:-)20:10
shaunoI gotta admit, it's difficult not to channel your inner-diddledan when you read things like "Wily has changes in scripts/init-bottom coming"20:47
diddledan:-p20:47
diddledanmy work here is done! :-D20:47
diddledanthat's an awesome combination of words, though!20:48
shaunoso you're finished now?20:48
diddledanno20:48
diddledan:-p20:48
diddledanI'll never stop!20:48
diddledanI feel it requires regular top-ups to maintain potency20:49

shaunolol, welcome to faux news20:54
diddledanshauno, is it really as bad as people make out?20:54
diddledanI hear it's like "an airplane today was doing normal things. it reminded people of 9/11 and how dangerous OMG TERRORISM can be lourking everywhere"20:56
diddledanlurking, too20:56
diddledan(notice how I spelled aeroplane the american way to maintain accuracy :-p)20:57
shaunoto be fair, most of them are really as bad as people make out.  I lean heaviest on faux news because our boss used to put it on from 6 'till 9am every morning.20:58
diddledanouch20:58
shaunothis one's fantastic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0IiVyFM4yo&t=41521:03
shaunomostly because it's a perfectly serious finance segment.  american dude isn't actually trying to be a clown.21:03
diddledanlmao21:04
diddledanthat's terrible21:05
shaunoI do realise the whole britain vs gb vs uk mess can be fun to explain.  but like .. 5 seconds of homework?21:06
shaunoI'm quite surprised the IDA guy didn't beat him to death with a rubber chicken.21:07
shaunoman, xbmc does *not* like it when you rename your fileserver21:21
diddledandid you kill it?21:25
shaunoI just have to re-add everything21:25
directhexshauno: he might not be trying, yet he's enormously successful!21:43
diddledan:-)21:44
daftykinsshauno: Kodi! :P21:46
shaunoI don't believe there's a build for my aging 1st-gen appletv :(21:47
daftykinsah i see21:47
daftykinsnah they've finally been murdered since Apple removed the required libs and what not (i am no dev ;) ) from the default install21:48
daftykinswas too much work for the guy that looks after them to keep going21:48
shaunoI think on the 1st-gen it's just an age issue  (the software image hasn't change in years)21:49
daftykinsah ok21:50
daftykinsi dunno when it got murdered, maybe it's only the v2 that still works with 14.221:50
shaunoit's a celeron M .. single-core, I think 800 or 900MHz.  with 256Mb.21:50
daftykinsin the bin :D21:51
shaunohaha, nah, it still does what I bought it for21:52
shaunoand it's difficult to find anything else htpc-ish for the price21:52
shaunobesides, it's pretty :)  the old ones look like a half-height mac mini, instead of the new black matchbox things21:55
daftykinsi quite like the Amazon FireTV i picked up for £50 when on sale21:56
daftykinsdefinitely more limited on android than a standard OS though21:56
shaunoyeah, that's android.  not doing that.21:56
shaunoif an advertising company wants to stick a black box on my network, they can pay me for it.21:57
daftykinsi was hoping to make my lounge one into a pretend squeezebox with addons in Kodi, but you have to pay for an app to do it for some reason21:57
daftykinswell mine runs Kodi :P21:57
daftykinsand amusingly i've used it to watch some of their own shows XD21:57
shaunoI'm really attached to the idea of something that runs a proper OS21:59
shaunothe first-gen appletv is still osx under the hood, so it's quite familiar.  otherwise something nice & tidy with linux on intel or arm would be fine too22:00
shaunobasically, if the intel nuc was half the price and the cases didn't look like pants22:02
daftykinsmmm my ASRock box is still pretty good, i just got annoyed with the fans. dual core Atom, 2GB RAM and ion1 for VDPAU offload handles HD nicely - SSD for speedy boot22:02
daftykinshaha yeah they're pretty poor22:02
shaunoI mean, that's basically what the appletv is.  what the nuc would be pre-core (but with optical+component audio, and $99)22:04
daftykinscomponent audio o022:04
shaunoI'm a fan of being able to attach anything & everything to my amplifier :D22:05
daftykinsjust not sure what that means. i have an AVR so i can make use of optical or the HDMI just fine22:07
daftykinsi don't own a device that can bitstream the lossless HD formats to it, but i don't really imagine it's as good as the dedicated folk tell me ^_^22:07
daftykinsespecially on my little baby speaker set22:07
shaunooh, I mean it still has phono sockets22:09
directhexbedtime.22:10
shaunohandy because my amp only has two optical inputs, and since apple stick optical on pretty much everything, I tend to run out of them first22:10
daftykinsah i see22:11
daftykinsyou could get an ugly little switcher box ;)22:11
shaunothat'd be mesy :p22:12
daftykinsi remember when a mate had a little switcher that you just rotated a bit on to flick between optical inputs22:13
shaunoooh, it's faster than I thought; 1GHz apparently22:20
shaunoand it seems it's having some problems with ipv622:20
shaunoit has v6 addresses where the v6 addresses should be, and v6 addresses where the v4 addresses should be.  good thing I don't really use v422:22
penguin42shauno: The v4 address, it's not a v6 address starting ffff....22:23
penguin42?22:23
shaunonope, it's the same as my global22:23
penguin42fun22:23
shaunoHas IP Assigned: Yes22:24
shaunoIPv4 Addresses: 2001:0470:etcetc22:24
daftykinshaha22:24
shaunomy 10. don't appear anywhere22:24
shaunooddly, ifconfig gets it right, but system_profiler doesn't22:25
diddledanyou know women have boob implants? are those silly cones?22:27
daftykinsthat's a bad diddledan22:27
shaunoI know I'm way OT, but that's .. slapworthy22:28
daftykinsmaybe that's why he wouldn't meet you up shauno, you'd have had so many in a backlog to dish out ;)22:28
shaunoI think he just didn't want to admit his ankle bracelet would alarm if he went that far from home22:29
diddledanlol22:29
diddledanooh, I'm a week out of date on dark matter22:32
* diddledan watches ep1122:32
shaunowossat?22:32

diddledanshauno, a fun scifi22:32

shaunoalso, I'm now the proud owner of a usb floppy drive :D22:43
penguin42shauno: Technology!22:43
diddledanI'm the proud owner of a usb thingie that plugs into a floopy drive, does that count as awesome?22:44
shaunototally technology.  I like to raid the recycling bins at work.22:44
diddledanshauno, raided floppies!22:45
diddledanshauno, RAID522:45
shaunololno.22:46
penguin42diddledan: Ooh, so you mean you could connect that to a 5.25 drive?22:53
diddledanpenguin42, yeah22:53
