[00:22] <mate|74317> hello tes
[00:22] <mate|74317> mates*
[01:35] <chatter29> hey guys
[01:35] <chatter29> allah is doing
[01:36] <chatter29> sun is not doing allah is doing
[01:36] <chatter29> to accept Islam say that i bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad peace be upon him is his slave and messenger
[12:34] <chr1ss> hi pplz
[15:08] <swift110> hey all
[15:10] <Menzador> yo
[15:38] <ITwrx> does ubuntu mate automatically handle the issue with ubuntu where the kernels fill up the boot partition? or would i have to setup a cron job to run apt-get autoremove on every machine?
[15:50] <Menzador> ITwrx: You have to remove old kernels yourse.f
[15:50] <Menzador> *yourself.
[15:50] <Menzador> ITwrx: See http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/05/remove-old-kernels-ubuntu-16-04/
[16:16] <ITwrx> ok thanks, menzador
[16:19] <ITwrx> it would be nice if ubuntu mate came with a cron job for autoremove since ubuntu is supposed to be Linux for Human Beings but they won't do it, even though it's caused a lot of young or new users a lot of problems.
[16:22] <alkisg> ITwrx: update autoremoves the previous kernels except for the last 2
[16:23] <alkisg> Eh, or is apt-get purge --auto-remove still needed?
[16:24] <ITwrx> alkisg: when did that start happening?
[16:24] <alkisg> I think somewhere around 14.04
[16:25] <alkisg> But I'm not sure if it's completely automatic, or if --auto-remove is still needed
[16:27] <ITwrx> alkisg: yeah, i'm wondering if it happens when a user uses the gui updater. i don't use ubuntu myself. i'm wanting to use ubuntu mate for PCs for kids so i don't want them having to deal with this.
[16:27] <ITwrx> alkisg: i also don't feel like manually setting up a cron job for every computer.
[16:27] <alkisg> Yeah it would be a mess that way :)
[16:28] <alkisg> Also, it would be an apt hook, not a cron job
[16:28] <ITwrx> hadn't thought of that.
[16:47] <walterpump> where to get instructions to install
[16:54] <Astro7467> @walterpump: you referring to installing Ubuntu MATE? If you need info on making a Bootable USB etc, they are on the bottom of the download page on ubuntu-mate.org
[16:55] <Astro7467> AFAIK you need to pick the architecture to get the relevant info (eg RPi SD card creation etc)
[16:57] <walterpump> Tnx Astro 7467:  I have downloaded the dvd image now need to install on my computer.  Since I have never done this before I want to read how.
[17:02] <ITwrx> walterpump: you need to write the iso to a cd or usb, then boot to/with it.
[17:03] <ITwrx> walterpump: first make sure your download was good by checking the sha sums.
[17:05] <Astro7467> @walterpump from the installer / live environment you can access this IRC, so any questions can be asked (but be patient cos most ppl here check in to help as & when free)
[17:11] <walterpump> Tnx all.  I will try it live first to see that all is well, then try the install.
[18:28] <ozmage> which are compositors around ? similar to compton that can use glx ?
[18:32] <thomas> hi
[21:15] <dooley>  should I be showing some kind of network traffic at all times in ubuntu-mate?
[21:17] <nicolas_> salut
[21:18] <nicolas_> je viens d'installer ubuntu mate sur mon PI3 merci super travail
[21:20] <dooley> it appears I am having a lot of blocked traffic in my UFW  log
[21:20] <dooley> how do I fix or stop this
[21:25] <sixwheeledbeast> what traffic?
[21:26] <sixwheeledbeast> I assume outbound?
[21:30] <dooley> looks like it stuff coming in
[21:30] <dooley> I can paste a line of the log
[21:31] <dooley> it can be out I may not have looked at it correctly
[21:34] <dooley> 2017-04-04 14:21:19.00 PRIV TCP packet:  SOURCE IP=180.107.209.139 DESTINATION IP=50.90.161.47 PROTOCOL=TCP
[21:38] <sixwheeledbeast> Would there be a reason a Chinese IP is trying to ping your firewall?
[21:41] <sixwheeledbeast> Seems inbound, I assume trying to port scan telnet or the like?
[21:42] <dooley> not that I know of? anything from xbox live?
[21:42] <dooley> I had one from london, one from Kiev
[21:45] <sixwheeledbeast> I would say it's not related to Ubuntu-MATE and people are trying to connect to your machine. Is UFW your only firewall?
[21:52] <dooley> I have my router firewall
[21:52] <dooley> what are you recommending?
[22:10] <sixwheeledbeast> Well you need to find out for for certain where the traffic is from and why. UFW maybe doing it's job. Can you check router firewall is it working? Are there logs?
[22:10] <sixwheeledbeast> Really i would expect the router firewall to block traffic first unless forwarded to your LAN.
[22:12] <dooley> let me go look
[22:14] <dooley> 2017-04-04 18:12:53.00 PRIV TCP packet:  SOURCE IP=95.6.37.29 DESTINATION IP=50.90.161.47 PROTOCOL=TCP
[22:14] <dooley> that is what the line was out of, sorry, I got the two log files mixed up
[22:16] <TechWombat> I was wondering if anyone can help me find a tool that would be able to monitor loads of IP address and tell me if they are currently up or down, I am looking something with a GUI
[22:22] <sixwheeledbeast> ping or Gping?
[22:24] <TechWombat> I want something more than ping
[22:25] <TechWombat> I want a tool like https://emcosoftware.com/ping-monitor but open sources
[22:31] <ouroumov__> dooley, you're not behind a router? o_o
[22:32] <dooley>   yes
[22:33] <dooley> I am behing a router
[22:33] <dooley> behind
[22:33] <ouroumov__> Then you shouldn't see external port scans, I don't get it
[22:36] <dooley> this is from the router logs
[22:37] <sixwheeledbeast> Ah, so these are not ufw then, this is the router logs?
[22:37] <dooley> I have never done a lot with networking. but I figured this has to impact my bandwidth somewhat
[22:38] <dooley> I could have sworn I had some ufw logs that showed external ips such as these being blocked, leet me look
[22:42] <sixwheeledbeast> If you are behind a router with firewall and it is working then you would only get forwarded traffic inbound to ufw. You may see outbound traffic like DNS requests and other normal stuff in ufw if your logging or blocking them.
[22:44] <dooley> what would have me getting pinged from all over Europe and Asia and how much impact would it be
[22:50] <sixwheeledbeast> There's not a lot you can do about it, if it's occasional then probably minimal impact. Is there a reason for targeting your IP? Open Ports? Do you have DoS protection on your router? Is it enabled?
[22:54] <dooley> yes I do, I just hope I do not impact my sons xbox live traffic, he is the only machine on the network and for about a month no he has had a mod connection, suddenly out of no where,. wonder if this could be why?
[22:55] <dooley> could be someone trying to get into his system?
[23:01] <dooley> Thanks for the assist sixwheeledbeast and ouroumov__  I will see if it goes away or stays going
[23:27] <TechWombat> Anyone got a server they want to give away, to a starting enterprises in Latin America?
[23:31] <eletious> Hello all
[23:31] <Astro7467> TechWombat: physical or VPS?
[23:41] <TechWombat> Physical, we need to because with a VPS the taxing can get a little complex
[23:45] <Astro7467> Okay. not in a position to help then
[23:51] <TechWombat> haha thanks anyway yeah you would have to give us XML that have been signed by the Mexican government and your costs...
[23:52] <TechWombat> Its a nightmare to start a business here, the cost of computer parts the taxing.. Gah it makes you want to pull your hair out
