[06:10] <MooDoo> morning all
[07:59] <diplo> Morning all
[08:03] <MooDoo> morning mate
[08:03] <diplo> Long time no see MooDoo, how're things ?
[08:18] <SuperMatt> morning all
[08:39] <MooDoo> diplo: yes things are good thanks.
[08:54] <diplo> Good to hear!
[09:13] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:37] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:53] <dogmatic69> my laptop wifi started playing games. drops connection every day and wont reconnect without a reboot
[09:53] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Thursday, and happy Crepe Day! 😃
[09:53] <dogmatic69> tried restarting network manager, iwconfig up/donw etc
[09:53] <dogmatic69> any ideas?
[09:55] <dogmatic69> after I restarted the network manager, the wifi option in the menu dropdown is now greyed out
[09:56] <JamesTait> Sounds depressingly like what happens with my youngest's Dell Inspiron.
[10:02] <popey> dogmatic69: yeah, long time bug in 16.04
[10:02] <popey> "nmcli con up <ssid>" brings it back up for me
[10:02] <popey> "nmcli con" lists the ssids if you forgot which one you should be on
[10:04] <dogmatic69> popey: great. its only started affecting me this week :/
[10:04] <dogmatic69> I have just rebooted, but its not even worked this time. will try that command
[10:07] <dogmatic69> does not seem to be working, do you know of any verbose options for output?
[10:07] <dogmatic69> just says "connection failed"
[10:14] <dogmatic69> popey: out of desperation, I rebooted the router. Now working?!?!?
[10:15] <dogmatic69> my iphone was working on wifi just fine. PC working on eth just fine.
[10:17] <popey> you on virgin media?
[10:18] <dogmatic69> yes sir
[10:18] <dogmatic69> (insert tears here)
[10:19] <dogmatic69> not sure how ISP would affect this. Im running in modem mode with ddwrt on a different router
[10:19] <dogmatic69> never had this issue, last updated ddwrt months ago
[10:20] <dogmatic69> Firmware Version DD-WRT v3.0-r30709 std (09/29/16)
[10:20] <dogmatic69> been 4 months
[10:21] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60HUrB_I5yo or you could go with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk to misquote Morecambe "All the right letter not necessarily in the right order"
[10:23] <JamesTait> davmor2, I do appreciate that song. <£
[10:23] <JamesTait> ❤ even
[10:43] <popey> dogmatic69: i periodically have to reboot my openwrt boxes
[10:47] <davmor2> popey: you set it to reboot once a week during off time like 3am on a sunday
[11:23] <popey> davmor2: that's not a bad idea, but that will probably break a backup if I don't time it right
[11:24] <davmor2> popey: then set it right ;)
[11:26] <zmoylan-pi> and then make sure that hour going forward and back doesn't break it :-)
[11:34] <xnox> Ed Sheeran is a twat. Was in the online queue since 9:30am and it is sold out now and I did not get a single ticket.
[11:34] <zmoylan-pi> don't worry they'll soon be for sale at stupid money online
[11:39] <popey> haha
[11:40] <zmoylan-pi> there was recently a commission about ticket touting and they had an expert in explaining how criminal gangs in ireland bot the sales and get the tickets which they sell online for silly money
[11:40] <zmoylan-pi> if the expert hadn't of been from ticketmaster...
[14:23] <popey> anyone else on virgin media here?
[14:23] <popey> i can't get to slack.com or trello.com via VM
[14:23] <daftykins> even with alternate DNS?
[14:24] <daftykins> i always found VM's DNS servers would have woes so ran alternatives back in my England days
[14:24] <daftykins> suppose it could be more routing, i'll be quiet :>
[14:27] <popey> i switched to company vpn and it works
[14:27] <popey> I'm not using VM DNS
[14:27] <daftykins> ah ok, mtr o'clock!
[14:27] <popey> well, it works now I'm on the vpn, will stay on it while I work
[14:28] <popey> wondered if any other VM users could confirm
[15:18] <foobarry> can i get systemd to delay a particular service by 30s?
[15:18] <foobarry> i configured it to wait until my filesystem was available, but still need a delay
[15:26] <diplo> Think there is a [timer] option, still new to systemd myself
[15:27] <diplo> [Timer]
[15:27] <diplo> OnBootSec=5min or something
[15:27] <diplo> Start 5mins after boot
[15:30] <foobarry> hmm i want to start after a service is up
[15:30] <foobarry> like 2 mins after GPFS is running
[15:46] <diplo> I think you can do that to, give me abit and I'll take a look
[15:47] <foobarry> great thx
[15:59] <diplo> I think you may be able to do it by timer, but could you not use After
[15:59] <diplo> So something like After=network.target gvfs.target ?
[15:59] <diplo> Or is that still to soon ?
[19:29] <Torelila> Anyone have a Ubuntu forum log in?
[19:29] <Torelila> account
[19:40] <Torelila> I met this problem in 1610 https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2286043 and the solution is the same. Kill Nautilus. "issue can also be fixed by removing Nautilus since Cinnamon uses Nemo instead."
[23:34] <daftykins> i need remote hands, i just tried firmware updating a printer but i'm not there to read the display and/or power cycle it XD
[23:43] <zmoylan-pi> a drone with a camera and a pokey stick...
[23:44] <daftykins> :>
[23:45] <daftykins> i think the keys will be the toughest part
[23:45] <daftykins> i just watched 'Arrival', that was well worth a go in my opinion!
[23:45] <daftykins> missed it in the cinema
[23:45] <zmoylan-pi> think of the fun you could have playing knick knock at peoples doors and flying away before they answer...
[23:45] <daftykins> they'd hear the *VRRRRT* :>
[23:46] <zmoylan-pi> you'd time it for when there's vespa scooters going past...
[23:46] <daftykins> ah har
[23:47] <zmoylan-pi> or add a laser and shine beam on door bell from stand off position and make a cat ring the door bell.... :-P
[23:47] <zmoylan-pi> remote remote
[23:47] <zmoylan-pi> purrfect crime...
[23:49] <daftykins> i had to paws to think that one through
[23:49]  * zmoylan-pi wonders if it would be a feliney
[23:49] <daftykins> i don't think there's any claws for concern
[23:52] <zmoylan-pi>  /me whiskers off for a shower
