 I'm suddenly considering that mi box now lol
 Android TV units are also great for emulators
 Android + kodi sounds solid
 And yea, emulators
 :)
 The Shield TV does Plex
 Finally got my tinkering desk almost finished, just need to mount a few shelves
 Nice
 I need to clean off my main desk however
 Nice, using synergy for the laptop?
 Rockin the gnome
 He has one laptop to many monitors
 The laptop is powering all monitors on my main desk, the other desk has its own computer
 Oh right on. What're you using to split up the displays?
 A DisplayLink dock
 This one to be exact - https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Universal-Docking-Station-Ethernet/dp/B00ECDM78E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475979166&sr=1-2&keywords=DisplayLink&linkCode=ll1&tag=tcz-20&linkId=f9f9a4a261b2f1ac830e57fc56596a41
 Not great for gaming but great for general purpose stuff
 All through USB 3.0
 That's awesome
 Gaming, ain't nobody got time for that
 I do!
 Lol, whatcha playing these days?
 There is only one acceptable game
 Starcraft 2
 Wtb street fighter on Linux so I can start playing again
 Time to clean up some files
 What emulator is everyone using on Android TV? Resource links?
 Depends on platform
 I'd like to set up nes and snes for mine.
 I use SNES9x EX+ for SNES and Dolphin
 Roms and firmware?
 Usually you need a firmware that none provides.
 SNES9x reverse engineered the BIOS a long time ago, so it runs out of the box
 Dolphin is the same way
 As far as obtaining ROMs, you should get them legally however it is not too hard to find ROMs for older games online
 No links
 cdn1.rack1.net/ROMS/Gamecube
 @Abrerr I game mostly on Xbox one
 The heck
 Why is the bot not reporting the tweets
 @telewitterbot start
 😮
 Anki so good
 I need to come up with a better way of syncing the decks.
 Gonna try throwing an ssh server on the phone and just scping it over there
 oh jeeb, they have a sync service.
 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/motorola-moto-360-sport-smartwatch-45mm-silicone-black/4759801.p?&ref=199&loc=TM20TXf59aU&acampID=1&siteID=TM20TXf59aU-H9Tz5js3h52CGO11QSq_MQ
 Yeah, I saw, but I'm trying to just save some money
 Incredibly tempting
 Android Wear is going to die I think
 I doubt that
 there are no new devices this year
 There have been several new devices this year, Fossil just released a few a couple of weeks ago
 It does not shock me that new devices were not released at the end of the year - it gives manufacturers a few months to begin working with the Android Wear 2.0 platform
 I should say ones in our price range then
 I know the Moto 360 Gen 1 is dead in the water officially
 Yes, no shock there
 which it will most likely be my last
 unless Google Assiant does something cool
 Smartwatches in general are still a nitche market and it will likely remain that way for a while. Look at SmartPhones - there was a few year gap between when SmartPhones were released and Flip Phones outsold them by a landslide due to cost
 When I see you next I could use some help with my DNS settings on my laptop
 Whats wrong with your DNS settings?
 I'm having loading issues on any network other then my own
 What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like?
 Give me a sec
 # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) … #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND — YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN … nameserver 127.0.1.1 … search hsd1.fl.comcast.net
 yea that's not right
 stupid comcast
 Lol
 That's a tempting moto
 stupid comcast?
 I'm a sucker for battery life, because I'm lazy and never charge
 ever since I used my laptop to set the service up I've had issues
 @KMyers ^
 Which service?
 comcast
 I hooked the router up to my laptop to set it up
 What's the dns look like on other devices? Dhcp just whack?
 the issue is that I have not formated my root in a while
 I would think 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4
 for google
 can someone post their resolv.conf?
 I thought 127.0.1.1 or something was localhost
 # Generated by resolvconf … nameserver 75.114.81.1 … nameserver 75.114.81.2
 sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
 127.x.x.x is local
 kmyers@KMyers-Kudu-Professional:~/Downloads$ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) … #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND — YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN … nameserver
 what?
 kmyers@KMyers-Kudu-Professional:~/Downloads$ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) … #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND — YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN … nameserver 127.0.1.1 … search lan
 now how do I fix this
 for now, manually enter some dns into resolv.conf
 but is overrides it
 I'd check dhcp settings on your comcast box
 it's temp
 I'd imagine it's overwritten upon new dhcp requests
 Just edit it through Network Manager
 and if I don't have that?
 I don't use GNOME
 check /etc/resolvconf.conf
 never messed with resolvconf, but gonna make some edits, repull via dhcp and see what happens
 I don't have that file
 run nm-connection-editor
 nm-connection-editor
 not installed that's GNOME
 Ubuntu proper has it installed
 I'm tempted to a full reinstall
 I don;t
 search for "Network" in your hud
 sudo apt install network-manager-gnome
 don't have HUD
 Or whatever search thing in KDE
 no luck
 not running ubuntu, so dunno where they keep their configs
 locate resolvconf
 or just create it in /etc
 I know where the file is
 that one anyway
 but it says do not edit it
 because it's generated upon dhcp
 sudo apt install gnome-system-tools
 no no no
 adding nameservers to resolvconf.conf added my static dns to resolv.conf
[19:47] <floridagram13> * ahoneybun giving up on it
 noooooo :\
 if Keith can't fix it then it's hopeless
 Arg, tempted to say just bring it over
 a clean install will fix it
 when I wipe the root anyway
 wait
 I did do that
 mm so I blame comcast
 resolvconf is the service generating resolv.conf
 yea and the man page is just crap
 hahaha agreed
 I've tried that route
 every command I try it just complains
 according to man page on arch
 although, I added two entries to resolvconf.conf, and only one appeared in my actualy resolv.conf
 not sure the delimiter to separate entries aside from newlines
 Set DNS to your router address.
 idk even 16.10 comes out I'm doing a *full* clean install
 Or set things to DHCP.
 @AdamOutler you speak like I know how to just do that
 What is your /etc/network/interfaces?
 nope
 http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23300125/
 All these things are set in there
 Shouldn't there be an eth0 or WLAN0?
 guess not
 output of ip addr?
 you mean ifconfig
 run ifconfig
 ubuntu land is on ifconfig?
 ifconfig is standard for Linux since networking was created.
 interface config.
 thought that was deprecated
 nope
 http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23300133/
 I guess wlp9s0 is wlan
 yar
 do sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
 wl port 9 slot 0
 then make it look like this https://pastebin.adamoutler.com/J7HT
 then execute sudo service networking restart
 then execute ifconfig
 I want the output of ifconfig
 oh.
 wait.
 mm what
 i liked eth0, wlan0 better, but got tired of making the change on newer installs
 lol
 wired connections work fine
 well for the most part I think
 I've not tried any outside my own network
 https://pastebin.adamoutler.com/thsj
 make it look like that
 btw the serive thing is pre systemd
 Looks like your ethernet doesn't have an IP address and your wlan looks fine
 And my wifi is broken
 Yay
 if you'r erunning on 10.10.0.0/24?
 your ip address is 10.0.0.12
 I don't see any wifi networks
 Damn it adam
 ok, well try what I just told you.
 I did and not its broke
 https://pastebin.adamoutler.com/thsj
 Stupid me
 well, hold on.  get the output of ifconfig now.
 I don't see the wifi name anymore
 sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 if that doesn't work, reboot
 those 10 ip's can't be right.
 10.0.0.1 is my router
 Surely
 Looking for your ifconfig output lol
 I don't have internet to post it
 The wifi broke
 ok.  do this then https://pastebin.adamoutler.com/THho
 nvm, was a typo apparently.
 this should make the wifi connect.
 Found it in your earlier bin
 then do service networking restart
 Note to self
 sudo service networking restart
 Don't listen to adam
 That command does not work
 Aaron, I hold 3 Linux certs, a security cert, and i'm a certified ethical hacker.
 Well it does not do anything here
 are you running those commands from the command line or were you entering them into the /etc/networking/interface?
 And my machine is stuck on boot
 Duck
 ctrl+alt+F2
 log in
 I just got a black screen
 no boot output at all? :|
 Great...
 If entering this: https://pastebin.adamoutler.com/THho caused your computer to crash, then you've got some serious issues.
 Just a blinking line
 Well it did
 ctrl+alt+f2 is not working?
 No tty is
 hold right-shift when booting for safe mode.
 Nothing
 no options to boot at all?
 How long has it been since you restarted?
 No
 Today
 I have a 16.04 USB
 livecd and edit that file? shouldn't cause boot hangups tho
 Well it's wrecked either way
 I can tell you for sure that the settings I just told you come well after the initial kernel loading.  you should see several screens worth of data before the kernel attempts to start networking.
 try pressing ESC when booting this time to see if maybe there's a hidden screen.
 isn't there a recovery kernel in ubuntu grub entries?
 Yeah, he's not seeing it.
 doesn't even make it to grub?
 hw issuesssss
 If this is truely just a black screen with no options, there's a problem with the bootloader or the hardware.
 I'd start with a disk check
 kinda weird tho if you've had no other issues than a goofy dns setting
 you can boot into a boot disk, then "sudo install-grub /dev/sda; sudo update-grub /dev/sda"  to reinstall and configure the bootloader
 dbl check those sdX
 ... where sda is the hard disk.
 also, check your bios settings to ensure you are attempting to boot the right disk.
 and remove any USB drives from your computer ;)
 that's the most likely culprit.
 I can tell you it worked fine
 What did?
 The computer before this
 oh
 It should boot quick
 It has to be getting stuck on something
 remove USB devices?
 telegram timestamps being weird
 Why would that do anything?
 several reasons.
 your bios may be booting off the usb priority
 I don't have a drive in there
 that's not usually the case unless explicitly set tho from the boards I've seen
 1. it's trying to boot a usb device. 2. the devices are sucking down your 5V line. 3. a malfunctioning usb device can cause problems with all communications.
 All them certs, you sound like a busy man Adam
 I am.  I'm always working on something.
 This was my project two weeks ago https://community.smartthings.com/t/65-home-automation-announcer/58392
 I'm working on bluetooth audio now.  I have to come up with a way to keep bluetooth active because it keeps turning off and takes 1/4 second to turn back on.
 Going into a live session and changing everything back
 @ahoneybun you are running Ubuntu, right?
 hrm, right on
 I've only seen enp8s0 on virtual machines.
 They made that change kernel side a while ago
 dunno what kernel ubuntu is on
 Can tack on an option in grub to ignore the new convention
 Of course
 Well I had a few VMs installed
 4.8 kernel
 I really think you changed something else.  Those settings I gave you are perfect.
 And I'm back
 Removed all those and back
 all those usb devices, or settings?
 No the settings to interface
 the /etc/networking/interfaces took your computer down?
 and made it so the hardware wouldn't even initialize?
 and made it so there was no output on screen?
 yep I could not get to the TTY
 I was stuck on the Kubuntu logo
 usually takes me 3-5 secs to boot on this SSD
 That's some mega-weirdness
 So the kernel did in fact load?
 <-- trying to absorb Ubuntu's networking methods
 I'mma install 1610 I think on release.
 no. this sounds like some of the problems with networking that Linus was freaking out about.
 Your wireless back up?
 seems to be
 dns still 127.x?
 on my laptop now
 heh, what is your kernel version?
 4.8?
 127.0.1.1
 Linux something-clever 4.8.0-21-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 4 18:27:25 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 BUG_ON() :D
 https://www.linux.com/news/new-linux-kernel-48-plus-kernel-killing-bug
 http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23300253/
 @AdamOutler
 new field
 leaving the house now though
 lol
 let us know if you manage to solve the DNS issue. :D
 Yea I might back up and format it all
 You just roll with one / partition? just curious
 No
 ... vm is taking it's sweet time booting
 separate /home a life saver when installing new versions of ubuntu?
 Yea
 Though I need to clear it out since I'm running out of space
 using kubuntu or ubuntu with kde?
 amg my vm :(
 Kubuntu all the way
 It is Ubuntu + KDE
 No major differences between the two, right? Mostly just the DE?
 Nope tons
 blarrrrr, just wanted to play with nfs shares
 but my VMs are being derp
 Everything is nicely set up for you
 Though the KDE Apps are being turned into snaps now
 Not sure I get the whole snaps deal. basically chroot'd apps?
 Well KDE pulls a lot of deps
 Not as much as before but with snaps you can have all the apps but not of the deps local
 Now if the deps
 deps aren't shipped with the snaps? contained ofc
 They are
 But the deps can be shared between the apps so you just have one copy of them rather then one per app
 So instead of libx5.0, they'll ship libx4.9 with the snaps that works best with their apps? and other snaps have access to 4.9 so we're not storing redundant copies?
 Well no it would allow you to have the latest KDE Apps shipped with the latest version of the deps on a LTS
 Think of having GNOME s file manager v3.22 on a LTS
 oh ok, gotcha. Forgot about the whole lts dealio
 Need to configure palm detection on this trackpad
 cursor jumping around kills me
 ayyyy - think I got it.
 Option "DisaleWhileTyping" "1" to the rescue
 Disable* even
