lotuspsychjegood mor,ing to all05:11
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: o/ . Dead slow in channel .05:13
lotuspsychjehey mate had good xmass?05:13
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Yes, and no . // Not a thing I any longer engage in .05:14
lotuspsychjeah ok05:15
Bashing-omcommercialisum ! Just not in my believe as a "Christian" thing to do .05:17
slidinghornSo I think I might have found the issue for a wifi problem I was having.  Wasn't able to get any logs, but just tried something different in a configuration, and it worked :)05:17
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: what did you do exactly mate05:18
lotuspsychjechipset/ubuntu version?05:18
slidinghornI'd been entering the MAC manually in nm-connection-editor and I couldn't connect to any WPA network other than the original one set up by Ubuntu when I installed.  Left that bit out this time and it came right up! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=230666505:20
lotuspsychjehttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Steam-Christmas-Hole05:20
slidinghornWaiting for a chance to try again on another network before I mark it solved05:20
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: wich wifi chipset is that05:23
slidinghornRealtek RTL8188EE05:24
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: sure its not a firmware version issue?05:24
slidinghornWell I was able to connect to a "new" WPA network, so I think it's good.  I haven't checked the firmware though.05:25
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: most realteks get solved on users here, bu updating newer firmwares05:28
lotuspsychjewifi drops, bad ssid connections,etc05:28
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: just keep it in mind, if you couldnt solve :p05:29
slidinghornI'll take a look into that.  I have noticed that it does tend to drop a bit, but it's usually only when I'm a good distance from the router05:30
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: how far away from router?05:31
slidinghornupstairs, through several walls & about 30'05:32
lotuspsychjeah05:33
slidinghornit's a crap shoot sometimes ;)05:33
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: buy devolo device that uses in house electricity lines05:34
lotuspsychjeor ask for xmass :p05:34
slidinghornThat would have been a good idea...05:39
lotuspsychjeslidinghorn: i have one myself for 50 euro, but cable version only no wifi05:40
lotuspsychjegood morning cfhowlett05:56
cfhowletthowdy lotuspsychje05:56
Bashing-omEyes are crossing, brain is warped .... time to quit .06:36
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: nite nite mate06:37
Bashing-omouta here ! Later guys .06:37
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: all ok mate?08:42
EriC^^yup08:42
EriC^^you?08:42
lotuspsychjefine tnx, alot of food lol08:43
EriC^^:D08:43
EriC^^http://openterm.tk08:43
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: wow nice!08:43
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: maybe add a number for dependecy issues also?08:45
lotuspsychjeapt-get update/upgrade issues08:46
lotuspsychjedpkg08:46
EriC^^yeah, ppa stuff08:46
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: you dont mention on the site you created this?08:47
EriC^^no08:47
lotuspsychjeok08:47
EriC^^maybe i'll put an about page later08:47
lotuspsychjeok cool, would be nice the world can contact you about this08:47
EriC^^it's still pretty rough and there's a lot of stuff to add08:48
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: basics are neat already and very helpful08:48
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: does the server see ip's connected to openterm?08:51
EriC^^yeah08:51
EriC^^i want to add something that changes the color of the terminal, so a person knows he has a live terminal open08:52
lotuspsychjemaybe also mention that on site for privacy issues perhaps?08:52
EriC^^like in case he has 2 open and he mixes up between them08:52
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: maybe mess with solarized?08:53
EriC^^i was trying to change the prompt wasn't working much08:53
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized08:53
EriC^^i put a timer initially that mentions it after like 2mins but only if he runs a long command, so it's not instrusive while he's typing something08:54
EriC^^still though there's the problem of mixing up between terminals easily08:54
lotuspsychjeok08:54
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: another idea for login loop, perhaps the lightdm logs also?08:58
EriC^^yeah i should probably mention the ip's get logged and tell people not to use it for something malicious08:59
EriC^^yeah that's a good idea08:59
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: yeah make a clean disclaimer of sort08:59
EriC^^it'll require sudo though to get them08:59
EriC^^i'm planning to add something though09:00
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: http://www.campustravel.com/disclaimer.htm09:00
lotuspsychjeexample on ip here09:00
EriC^^i want to add a way you can paste stuff from the live terminal to the logs above, so it's easier for someone following to have everything organized09:00
EriC^^like you run command | addabove09:01
EriC^^and it goes to the logs above at the end09:01
lotuspsychjecool idea also09:01
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: or maybe a fallback to main menu after the link?09:02
EriC^^that'd be nice09:03
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: if a user chooses 3 grub issues ===>openterm/link====>back to menu and be able to choose09:03
lotuspsychjeso the user can have 2 or more situations in same terminal09:03
EriC^^that's neat!09:04
lotuspsychjenot sure howto do this ofcourse lol09:04
lordievaderGood morning09:04
lotuspsychjemorning lordievader09:04
EriC^^morning lordievader09:05
lordievaderHey lotuspsychje, EriC^^. Merry Christmas ;)09:05
EriC^^thanks, you too :)09:05
lotuspsychjemerry xmass to you lordievader09:05
lordievader:)09:05
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: after the 2nd menu fallback users can still type exit, would be perfect :p09:07
EriC^^you mean not start a live terminal?09:08
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: then add more of your ideas to main menu 6,7,..09:08
EriC^^i was thinking that would be nice cause maybe somebody doesn't want to start one09:08
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: if they dont want it, they wont choose it right09:09
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: i just mean after a link is created, to fallback to menu again, to be able to choose something else09:10
EriC^^so like menu1 ---> then menu1 again, if they want to exit and paste them they can, if they want to paste them and start a live terminal they can09:10
lotuspsychjeyep09:10
EriC^^and then also from the live terminal they can pop the menu up and add a set of the logs above09:10
lotuspsychjeyes09:10
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: a users problem, might need 2 or more pastes from the main menu, would be perfect09:11
EriC^^lol, i'm never going to see the sun again09:11
lotuspsychjehahaha09:11
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: its winter now09:11
EriC^^lol09:11
lotuspsychjetux in the cave :p09:11
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: ah wait09:13
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: maybe instead of exit, type 7 to go back to main menu09:13
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: then a user can exit from menu also09:13
EriC^^you mean without pasting anything right?09:14
lotuspsychjeyeah09:14
lotuspsychjenow it says type exit...09:14
EriC^^that's for the live terminal09:15
lotuspsychjeah09:15
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: and 6 to quit menu right09:15
EriC^^yup09:15
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: think its better 1 terminal for 1 problem then09:17
EriC^^yeah09:18
EriC^^i was thinking not often people are going to have multiple issues09:18
EriC^^letting a menu pop up in the live terminal would be great though09:18
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: if they have wifi issues, they will re-ask a new line anyway, and we start new openterm link09:19
EriC^^like if something comes up or they need a bunch of logs pasted they can do that09:19
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: yeah would be nice09:19
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: maybe menu item for wifi/network issues also?09:19
EriC^^i also want to add some stuff to the normal pastebin09:19
EriC^^btw it's at | nc openterm.tk 909:19
lotuspsychjekk09:20
EriC^^so like sudo parted -l | nc openterm.tk 909:20
EriC^^yeah for sure09:20
lotuspsychjehttp://openterm.tk/us41h/ nice09:20
EriC^^i want to add like some way a user if it's the same one he can add pastes to the same page09:20
EriC^^like in case he just wants to paste stuff, or somebody is helping and he wanted to add something09:21
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: so we have to re-new the link to see added pastes?09:21
EriC^^like if he's pasted before recently it asks if he wants to add to the same page, presses y it's added09:21
lotuspsychjeah yes09:21
lotuspsychjethat would be real 'live' feeling :p09:21
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: but it wont generate new link adress right? same url?09:22
EriC^^yup09:22
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: so at the helpers end==>refresh url09:23
lotuspsychjeand we kinda know what were doing so :p09:23
EriC^^it should add it automatically like the live term09:23
lotuspsychjeah09:23
lotuspsychjeeven better09:23
EriC^^also to add something like private stuff09:24
EriC^^like if someone wants to use it for him and his friend, with a password09:24
lotuspsychjepassworded link?09:25
EriC^^yeah09:25
EriC^^he puts a password and the link can only be opened with the pass09:25
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: in wich cases would this be requiered?09:25
EriC^^like if you want to share something with your friend only09:25
EriC^^or if you want to leave something on your pc running and check it remotely or something09:26
lotuspsychjelike seeings private dirs containing sensitive stuff?09:26
EriC^^yeah09:26
lotuspsychjeah yeah09:26
lotuspsychjenice idea09:26
lotuspsychjei like the no phone or ssh access on the site09:26
lotuspsychjeso in that context would match perfectly also09:27
EriC^^yeah09:27
lotuspsychjehelp==user from same company sharing passworded links09:27
EriC^^yeah09:28
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: but tell me, the helper cant access his commands right?09:28
EriC^^nope no way09:28
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: no explotiable stuff somehow?09:29
EriC^^i dont think so09:29
EriC^^it's just sending the output ( like view ) of the terminal to a server09:29
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: yean unless the hack your server...09:30
EriC^^if they hack the server then they could change the scripts and stuff yeah for sure09:30
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: but youl add good security :p09:30
EriC^^yeah :p09:31
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: what kind of services running?09:32
EriC^^i changed the ssh port and using pub auth file09:32
lotuspsychjeapache?09:32
lotuspsychjessh?09:32
EriC^^was having like a million attempts at ssh09:32
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: yeah use fail2ban09:32
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: might be usefull to pentest the whole server metasploit n stuff09:33
EriC^^yeah09:33
EriC^^maybe i'll add my own stuff09:33
lotuspsychjeanyway bbl breakfast09:33
EriC^^like something that if somebody enters it just self destructs the whole thing09:33
EriC^^lol09:33
lotuspsychjelol09:33
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: intrusion detectors will do the job :p09:34
lotuspsychjerkhunter/snort/fail2ban/iptables09:34
lotuspsychjebbl :p09:34
EriC^^in the server stuff is pretty organized09:34
EriC^^like the apache stuff is separate from the server stuff and the stuff that gets sent as web and constants are all root09:35
EriC^^so if somebody finds something in the web, he can't change the scripts used, or server interaction at the menu09:36
BluesKajHiyas all13:20
slidinghornmorning BluesKaj13:22
BluesKajMorning slidinghorn13:22
slidinghornso I politely pointed out to that kid saying he's anonymous that his IP shows on freenode & suggested a cloak - he then tried to "hack" me, posted  abunch of random crap saying it was "my code" (with a bunhch of crap I don't have installed on my machine or my shell)13:59
slidinghornI almost peed I was laughing so hard13:59
cfhowlettand he spelled anon. wrong14:00
slidinghornI almost woke up the house14:01
BluesKajslidinghorn:  how did he try to "hack" you?14:04
slidinghornsent a bunch of pings14:04
BluesKajok14:04
BluesKajI had a russian punk try to hack my IP , somehow he got past my cloak anf tried to steal my nick, plus he DDOS'd my router, don't ask me how he did it, but I had to change my ISP pw and user as advised by their support14:07
BluesKajthink there;'s a few mins after join when the IP is available before cloak takes effect14:08
cfhowlettnow that is soe decent hackwork.  did you have default pwd on the router?14:08
slidinghornThis was some dumb kid from Texas thinking he'd be cool if he could make someone think he knew how to do more than turn a computer on14:09
cfhowlett@blueskaj  now that is some decent hackwork.  did you have default pwd on the router?14:10
BluesKajcfhowlett:  no14:10
BluesKajcfhowlett:  that's why he couldn't get into my system , but he got too close for comfort14:11
BluesKajhe just filled the the line with pings from the ISP to my router14:12
BluesKajmodem actually, not the router14:13
BluesKajsorry didn't mean to confuse14:14
cfhowletti understand that modems are much easier to crack14:14
EriC^^BluesKaj: do you have the identify set on the nick?14:14
EriC^^the 30 secs to identify or nick is changed?14:15
BluesKajEriC^^:  yes identify is enabled14:16
EriC^^ok cool14:16
cfhowlettBluesKaj, http://hacknmod.com/hack/screw-with-people-who-steal-your-wifi/14:21
BluesKajmy wifi is protected to some degree with wps and a very difficult pwd , but living in a small town , my chances are much fewer than most of being hacked vai wifi14:27
BluesKajaamof I had advise a neighbour that her router was wide open, no pwd used and she didn't realize the iSP who supplied her router/modem hadn't assigned a pwd14:30
BluesKajshe didn't even use a login pwd on her windows laptop. I couldn't beleive she could be so careless.14:32
BluesKajShe replied to my advice by saying "it's not my fault, it's the f-ing cable company"...she 's correct to some degree, but to put all the blame on the provider is actually pretty typical.14:37
cfhowlettthis should be fun ... he came back14:47
BluesKajwho?14:56
cfhowlett"hacker" guy14:56
BluesKajoh, what nick?14:57
cfhowlettguest54364 but he left already14:58
slidinghornI think that was someone else - the 1st one was from Texas, that one's coming up from UK16:23

DosTuMai<Tribble> I changed all my passwords to incorrect. So my computer just tells me when I forgot.16:41
slidinghornikonia: that user's been in and out over the past several days. Very hard to get useful info out of them in my experience, and they don't tend to follow directions well17:12
* slidinghorn sings the "Amen" part of "Take Me to Church" to ikonia :)17:24
pauljwhi17:35
slidinghornmorning pauljw17:37

Bashing-omDosTuMai: Well, yeah ... it is it is .. That I recon is the nature of the thing .. but sure getting deeper into that zoo-ology . EriC^^ to the rescue !21:17
EriC^^grub stuff?21:18
Bashing-omEriC^^: Seems now we have the lull before the deludge . Earlier was a ACPI thing, then rerouted to a EFI thing . Seems Windows UEFI - ubuntu CCSm on same hard drive. HAve the OP re-install in UEFI mode . Maybe all comes up roses .21:22
EriC^^cool21:23
EriC^^maybe we'll get some more grub issues tonight that have happy endings21:24
EriC^^14.04.4 comes out in new years?21:26
Bashing-omEriC^^: :) Your grub issues - that you dive into - I have observed, always have happy endings .21:27
EriC^^:)21:29
EriC^^grub is always fun and stuff21:30
Bashing-omEriC^^: Yeah , booting is of particular interest, but I have no access to a UEFI box, not able to test puts a cramp in my style .21:34
EriC^^what's your favorite linux subject?21:34
EriC^^or pc subject21:35
DosTuMai.py21:35
Bashing-omOh Mercy .. varies.. but always, that interaction with the kernel .21:35
EriC^^DosTuMai: Bashing-om cool21:37
DosTuMaiI'mma codemunkeh.21:38
Bashing-omsure has gotten quiet on the home front .21:39
EriC^^yeah21:39
DosTuMaiSorry, talking firearms with a friend whose also ex-military.21:40
EriC^^i want to see how a user will react to using a live terminal21:46
EriC^^mkfifo /tmp/bla; nc openterm.tk 99 < /tmp/bla & script -f /tmp/bla21:47
EriC^^that's what he has to run, i wonder what his reaction will be21:48
Bashing-omEriC^^: Yeah, looking forward to how squoo.sh is going to work out .. going to be an adventure .21:48
EriC^^it could be useful for long grub troubleshooting maybe? at least it will mean he has to type less paste links i guess21:48
EriC^^Bashing-om: what do you work?21:53
Bashing-omEriC^^: Retired, from Network controller - communications systems .22:04
EriC^^cool22:05
Bashing-omEriC^^: I LIKE not having to punch a time clock .22:08
EriC^^yeah22:08
DosTuMaiReally don't blame you, Bashing-om. xD22:12
Bashing-omI get to sit here before this terminal to my heart's delight .22:14
DosTuMaiI can't sit still for long...22:15
EriC^^me neither22:15
DosTuMaiPlaying games: Stand up, sit down, dance, walk back & forwards, get bored, go out on my bike.22:16
Bashing-omGet caught up on forums and channels, go for a smoke, do a bit of yard work, maybe a couple of honey do chores - I be right back here most rikki tic .22:22
DosTuMaiPretty much. xD22:23
Bashing-omworks for me, and my life is fine . If it were not so ubuntu, I would not say thus .22:27
DosTuMai=]22:28
Bashing-omEriC^^: is eikon81g leading rvgate down the wrong path ??23:25
EriC^^i have no idea23:26
EriC^^i was just thinking the same and wanted to ask you23:26
EriC^^ide raid sata acsomething23:26
EriC^^.. what the23:26
Bashing-omEriC^^: Think at this point I am going to enter an objection . raid .. no way ! - But booting Windows .. I can not avise on that !23:27
EriC^^he's using raid?23:27
Bashing-omEriC^^: No .. was of advise from eikon81 to try that mode, where I got my feathers in a ruffle . I hope at this point rvgate has AHCI set .23:30
DosTuMaiWell, I'm off to bed, need my beauty sleep or I'll crack too many mirror-glass windows enroute to work. o/23:33
Bashing-omEriC^^: IRT rvgate; attempting to dual boot on a SSD, unknown on space constraints - . Is not AHCI proper always for a SSD ?23:33
EriC^^nighty nite23:33
EriC^^Bashing-om: i've no idea what ahci means23:34
DosTuMaiAlien Huffing Club International?23:35
EriC^^lol23:35
Bashing-omEriC^^: " The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) >> specifies the operation of Serial ATA (SATA) host bus adapters in a non-implementation-specific manner " .23:36
EriC^^seems on the right track i guess23:45
Bashing-omEriC^^: Presently, however, ^ that is as far as I can go . As I do not know Windows or UEFI .23:47
