[00:00] hello 16.04. The bluetooth controls seems odd. I think I just figured it out but in the bluetooth settings there is a connection toggle that can't be changed [00:01] yet in the menu bar you can turn the connection to the device on and off [00:04] Ben64: ok, up and running, I have the [00:04] I have both of the additional drivers installed as well and all the updates. Nvidia additional driver has a green light, and the intel one is half in a box [00:04] Hi everyone. I have Ubuntu 16.04. I am using Nestopia version 1.46, which works perfectly, after having installed it from a .deb file. Ubuntu offers to update the software, but the new version breaks on my machine and I want to keep the previous version. How do I make it ignore the Nestopia package when offering updates? [00:05] !pinning | Richard_Cavell [00:05] Richard_Cavell: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [00:05] Richard_Cavell: I already told you about !pinning the day you installed the older version [00:06] Yes you did. [00:06] But I didn't realize it was going to be a problem. I think Ubuntu installed the update automatically without me having given consent to it. [00:07] Richard_Cavell: well, that depends on various settings. But without being told not to, yes, Ubuntu will update packages to the version in the archive (if it's later than the version installed by hand) [00:11] I have done sudo apt-mark hold nestopia [00:11] anyone else that wants to help me troubleshoot whatever's wrong is free to join in. I have screen blinking issues on an Asus x751L, Intel i5 5200U ( and a nvidia 940M with Intel HD 5500 integrated gfx. Clean reinstall with all the updates, several solutions from the net tried and died. [00:12] nacc: But Software Updater still offers me nestopia. Do I just have to learn to ignore it? [00:13] Richard_Cavell: I don't know how software updater plays with apt-mark [00:13] Okay. [00:14] nacc: Also, I'm getting a lot of software updates offered for my machine. Is that normal for 16.04 in July 2017? [00:14] Richard_Cavell: You need to use the method using /etc/apt/preferences from the link the bot provided [00:14] Richard_Cavell: when did you install? when was the last time you did updates? what iso/image did you use to install? [00:15] linux updates are good, better than *once* a month [00:17] ljetibo: Recommended driver for 940M seems to be nvidia-352, which version do you have installed? And nvidia-prime also installed [00:17] genii: I don't have a file /etc/apt/preferences. Should I create one? [00:18] Richard_Cavell: Yes [00:18] nacc: I installed a week ago from Matt Gadient's isos. I have run updates until there were no more, but every day it seems to find new ones. [00:19] genii: the suggested version used from the system settings -- additional drivers is the 375.66 from nvidia-375 which is currently used (hopefully). The earliest version that supports the 940M is the 346 or so. [00:19] Richard_Cavell: i don't know what Matt Gadient is. [00:19] Richard_Cavell: but it's normal to get bugfixes relatively often [00:20] genii: Hey, that worked! [00:21] I created an /etc/apt/preferences file and inserted something that looked sensible, and now it has stopped offering me updates to that package. [00:21] Richard_Cavell: Good :) [00:21] genii: nvidia-prime seems to be availible from the NVIDIA X Server Settings, so I assume it's up and running (not sure how else to check for it) [00:21] ljetibo: apt-cache policy nvidia-prime [00:22] genii: installed 0.8.2, candidate 0.8.2 [00:23] ljetibo: Can you pastebin entire output from apt-cache policy nvidia-375 [00:26] genii: https://pastebin.com/akNpwT5c [00:27] good luck ljetibo [00:27] I have seen several "W: firmware possibly not installed i915...." during updates, but as far as I read online it's not a big deal and usually it was suggested not to hassle with the 01.org solutions. [00:28] paracusia: hey, :) thanks, I wish I knew what to ask exactly. Like this I'm just stuck bothering people. I've not had issues so far with Ubuntu, even with previous Nvidia and integrated graphics (i3 and an older 420M) [00:30] Hm, the graphics-drivers PPA doesn't seem to have a newer version of that driver [00:30] u couldnt track that loop down to a specific error message, right? [00:31] not that I noticed, there were several, and I don't know if you were here earlier when I said to Ben64: I did get an error msg first time I tried installing from .run. It said "unable to determine the path to install the liblvnf EGL vendor library config files. Check hat you have pkg-config and the libglvnd development libraries installed, or specify path with --glvnd-egl-config-path". I did apt-cache search for the two and picked two that [00:31] matched the names and had dev in it. I also did a xorg-soemthig-dev install which fixed that particular problem. [00:32] genii, he used the nvidia.run file .. and now i read 01.0rg too ... [00:32] i would have checked for an bios update, with your vendor, as these symptomes might be explainable [00:33] Sounds like a mess. If you use the nvidia .run file, you have to do nvidia-uninstall before installing the regular Ubuntu drivers again [00:33] I also don't think it's the nvidia driver, I think it's the Intel 5500HD. I think this because if I observe the GPU usage in the NVIDIA X Server Settings and turn on the gif displayed in Image Viewer or Firefox (which when open stops blinking from happening) I can see the 940M usage drop to 0%. The blinking starts immediately. I turn on the gif and the usage of the 940M goes up to about 10-25% and the blinking immediately stops. [00:33] geii: I did a complete ubuntu reinstall [00:34] genii: with new updates and the lot, with additional proprietary updates as well. Just now. This is a fresh install. [00:35] Sounds like a switchover issue, it's supposed to autoswitch between nvidia and intel depending on how intensive or not gpu usage is [00:36] genii: I wouldn't know. Maybe. The issue is that the only solution to find online is the apt-get install intel-microde [00:36] but that shouldn't do anything the additional drivers in sys. settings don't [00:36] ljetibo: Have you tried setting it to use just the 940M in the NVidia X Server Settings? [00:37] genii: that's the currently selected option. I can try to select just the intel? [00:37] microcode, if it is not older than your cpu, can do good too [00:38] i thought the 01.org driver required microcode?? [00:39] it does (I think) are you saying I should do an install microcode anyhow? [00:39] Can't hurt to make sure your intel-microcode package is installed and up to date [00:40] 0 upgraded, 0 installed [00:41] !info intel-microcode [00:41] intel-microcode (source: intel-microcode): Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs. In component restricted, is extra. Version 3.20161104.1 (zesty), package size 808 kB, installed size 1086 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; x32) [00:41] And obviously you have "restricted" enabled if you installed the nvidia drivers [00:41] hola, sry, if someone wrote something I didn't just see it. I had to log out and in again [00:43] I've just tried only Intel in the NVIDIA X Server Settings and it's the same, maybe a bit less blinky but hard to say [00:44] meh :( [00:44] logging out and back in to apply the old PRIME settings [00:45] back [00:46] I've been recommended several times to just dump ubuntu and move to xubuntu or ubuntu mate [00:46] is that a potential fix? Any experiences with newer Nvidias and i5's? [00:47] ljetibo: Did you try disabling hardware accelleration? [00:47] genii: no, where's that? [00:47] ljetibo: Underneath they will all just use the same drivers anyhow, so it doesn't really matter which desktop [00:51] genii: ok so to check if I'm using the right drivers I did a glxinfo after installing mesa-utils and in this output https://pastebin.com/QPv4HvVk the version strings seem to be correct. [00:52] to me that is. Is there anything weird to see? Should I open a bug somewhere, maybe I can get more help in the repos? [00:52] That looks ok [00:53] The main problem is my brain is fuzzy since I've stayed 4 hours after I normally leave work :) [00:55] :) ah, that's fine, thx for the help. I'll be stalking the irc, askubuntu and ubuntu forums for a fix for a while now for sure. I don't really want to continue working with a perpetually opened gif somewhere. I'll catch you around for sure. [00:55] <|Night|> hey, I'm having an issue when i scan my self i find port 8080 open, however it is blocked not whitelisted in firewall (csf) lsof does not say any service that is using it [00:56] <|Night|> when i connect raw to it i get ssh, but that is set up on a differnet port SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.4p1 Ubuntu-10 [00:57] * genii wanders off [01:02] <|Night|> nvm found it, forgot i added a port redirect [01:03] How do I copy files from ecryptfs-recover-private mount to an SMB mount? The ecryptfs-recover-private mount is owned by root apparently, and the SMB mount is owned by the current user [01:03] And sudo cp won't let me copy to the SMB mount [01:03] I'm running Ubuntu off of a LiveCD, if that makes a difference [01:04] <|Night|> mount smb [01:04] <|Night|> users and permissions also matter [01:04] I've been doing that via Nautilus, maybe I should just do it via sudo at a command line? [01:10] |Night|, ty, mount seemed to work, will try this [01:10] <|Night|> i hope its not smb1.0 [01:12] I updated the relevant system recently, so I hope not too [01:16] |Night|, it's working, thank you [01:30] Apparently I have one file once as upper case once as lowercase. [01:30] Unsurprisingly, CIFS doesn't seem to like that so much [01:41] Hey everybody, I'm a total newbie at this and I've just built my first computer/installed Ubuntu. I'm looking for a "speccy" alternative if you have any suggestions... I've tried lshw but, as I'm a bit clueless, I'm looking for something with a gui. Any thoughts? (please don't flame me) [01:43] altefour: "speccy" alternative" .. for what ? What is the goal ? [01:44] altefour: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardInfo [01:44] Bashing-om: I'm looking for a way to have my hardware and system components clearly listed. [01:44] I found it by googling "linux speccy" [01:45] luxio: Thank you, I've seen that one among others. Just curious to know if there are any better than the rest from those who understand Ubuntu better. [01:47] luxio: Just installed it and it's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help. [01:47] altefour: As you get more comfortable with Linux, command-line tools (like the aforementioned lshw) will almost always be better [01:47] luxio: I'm hoping to get better at the command line. I guess I've just been spoiled by windows after all these years. [01:50] altefour: the install media has a tool to do so. [01:52] Hello all I am unable to ssh into my Ubuntu Server [01:53] Jakethepython: Are you running an ssh daemon [01:54] Jakethepython: if so, which ssh software [01:54] im just in terminal of one linux ssytem going to another linux system [01:54] usually i just SSH without needing anythign special [01:54] that half answers half of the questions [01:55] Jakethepython: run `sudo service openssh status` [01:55] (on the machine you're trying to connect to) [01:56] not found [01:56] what's the full output from that command [01:57] Loaded: Not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) [01:57] active: Inactive (dead) [01:58] Jakethepython: apt install openssh [01:58] Jakethepython: sudo systemctl status ssh [01:58] ^that one first [01:58] what Ben64 said [01:59] same responce as service status [02:00] then you need to install openssh-server [02:00] doesn't ubuntu ship with openssh by default [02:00] not the server [02:00] ah [02:00] thats what i assumed [02:00] ohh [02:03] hey, I've added a static ip alias to /etc/network/interfaces but every time I suspend the laptop it doesn't come back up without restarting /etc/init.d/networking. Aside from scripting that, anyone got any ideas how to make it work? [02:04] now it has a key error [02:06] fixed that [02:28] Now for the fun part i need to reset up my RAID on 2 additinoal hdds is this possible to do after the system is installed?

[03:17] how to disable bluetooth auto start on startup without removing its icon from the panel?? i am new here [03:19] doc|work: you might want to install pm-utils and place your suspend/resume script in /etc/pm [03:23] how to disable bluetooth auto start on startup without removing its icon from the panel?? i am new here [03:26] Has anyone been unfortunate enough to experience this "nvidia-378" binary driver debacle? [03:30] anyone used the Bash on Ubuntu on Windows before? [03:30] can't figure out how to copy/paste into terminal [03:34] shift + ins is the convention [04:05] My var/log/syslog.1 file is over 67Gb... is that normal? and is it safe to delete this file? [04:13] blackdalek: it's a bit excessive, they are normally smaller [04:14] blackdalek: you can safely delete it, but you might also want to investigate what caused all of those log messages in the first case [04:14] indeed [04:30] is there a good svn client for ubuntu [04:54] trying to get a controller working on ubuntu, xboxdrv didn't work... any ideas?

I was wondering what would be the best tool to detect and block this? I’m not sure if it’s something snort or psad would be good for, or if there’s a better solution to blocking them? Whenever I block an IP, they just spin up a new droplet on DO and go at it again [05:37] timdotrb: i am actually curious how you know someone is scraping you [05:38] edwinksl: I have a shell script that scans the apache access log and counts the number of times each IP appears [05:38] edwinksl: The IP is showing up ~350k times in about 6 hours [05:38] wow [05:38] They are very motivated lol [05:39] you must have some serious content [05:39] :P [05:39] The end of the line in the apache log also states that it’s ruby [05:39] This particular site has a pretty good user base ;) [05:41] hello [05:42] ?is it possible to install ubuntu server 16.04 without LVM and partitions encrypted created manually? === timdotrb_ is now known as timdotrb [05:51] timdotrb: Have you considered using mod_evasive yet?

[05:53] glitsj16: looks like this could be what we are looking for, thanks :) [05:55] timdotrb: it works rather straightforward, blocking IP ranges from DO would work also, but that would stop legitamete users i guess [05:55] *legitimate [05:55] glitsj16: True. The only legitimate users from DO would be ones who’ve setup a droplet as a personal VPN, I believe.. [05:56] timdotrb: indeed, and that's becoming more and more popular..

[08:48] hey guys, Im trying to run a command on startup, I need to know the ubuntu alternative for /etc/rc.local or/etc/rc.d/boot.local Kubuntu 17.04 [08:52] abiQuinn: is it a command or a service [08:52] abiQuinn: what exactly are you trying to do ? [08:53] I got xboxdrv working but I have to enter it every time I start my pc so would like to automate that [08:53] what do you mean "got it working" [08:53] xboxdrv is a kernel module - there should be no command used for this [08:54] sooo I run like xboxdrv with some setup arguments in konsole [08:54] abiQuinn: what is the EXACT command you're running [08:54] sudo xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/event9 --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y --axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_WEST=x,BTN_NORTH=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_START=start,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr --mimic-xpad --silent & [08:55] just need to automate that on start up everytime [08:55] abiQuinn: so for me that would logically go into your desktop start up rather than your "system" start up as you're using it in userspace [08:55] and you should you really be using "sudo" dor this if you're doing this in userland [08:56] okay I don't really know what you mean cause im really new, could you help me make it work :) <3 [08:56] abiQuinn: so first of all -get it working without sudo [08:56] abiQuinn: you're running this as a "user" so you shoudn't need to be using sudo [08:57] okay, i'll run it without sudo and see what happens [08:57] abiQuinn: the second thing is the desktop normally has options for startup commands/session so as the desktop runs / start it launches commands [08:57] abiQuinn: that would be a more logical place for this as this is specific to your user, rather than a system wide thing [08:58] yeh okay without sudo it says, /dev/input/event9: Permission denied [09:00] ikonia: I get permission denied with sudo? [09:00] without* [09:06] abiQuinn: ok - so what is the permissions on the binary [09:07] is it the binary permissions [09:09] ikonia: erm im not sure what you mean... I think xboxdrv accesses the root directory thats why I need to sudo no? [09:13] abiQuinn: it shouldnt be in the root directory [09:14] abiQuinn: thats part of the problem, why is it in the root directory [09:14] ikonia: I mean it's accessing /dev/input/ thats in my root isn't it? [09:15] abiQuinn: no [09:15] abiQuinn: what is the permissions on the actual binary [09:15] how do I check? [09:16] abiQuinn: ls -la $binary_name [09:16] would binaryname be xboxdrv? [09:16] correct [09:16] what am I looking for in this list? [09:17] you should just have one line - paste it into the channel [09:18] I did not get one line I got a long list of things [09:18] abiQuinn: what was the exact command you typed [09:18] ls -la $xboxdrv [09:18] remove the $ [09:18] I get no such file now [09:19] abiQuinn: ok - so you're in the wrong directory [09:19] what directory should I be in? [09:19] abiQuinn: ikonia: So that xboxdrv is a driver for xbox input devices right? What if we just add a udev rule for the device?. Then wenever the device is plugged the command abiQuinn posted before will be executed. For that would be the way to go. [09:19] for example, if I do ls -la notes.txt (as I want to see the permissions on a file called notes.txt) I get this -rw-r--r-- 1 bob user 31 29 Nov 2016 notes.txt [09:20] minimec: thats a way yes [09:20] minimec: someone on my otherr chat was saying run it as a daemon in udev or something [09:20] minimec: I was just going to put it in the session launch so that the udev rules didn't have to be managed by someone who is learning, but a udev trigger is tidy [09:21] abiQuinn: where is the file "xboxdrv" where is that on the file system [09:21] I honestly have no idea [09:21] abiQuinn: how did you install it [09:22] apt install xboxdrv [09:22] abiQuinn: ok so lets look at that package [09:23] !info xboxdrv [09:23] xboxdrv (source: xboxdrv): Xbox360 gamepad driver for the userspace.

Version 0.8.8-1 (zesty), package size 524 kB, installed size 1836 kB (Only available for linux-any) [09:23] perfect, so official ubuntu repo [09:23] abiQuinn: so if you do "which xboxdrv" you should see where it is [09:23] /usr/bin/xboxdrv === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [09:24] abiQuinn: ls -la /usr/bin/xboxdrv [09:24] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1679184 Apr 27 2016 /usr/bin/xboxdrv [09:29] abiQuinn: ok, so a non-root user should be able to run that binary [09:29] abiQuinn: so thats the first hurdle [09:29] so the /dev device - who owns that [09:29] how do I check that? [09:30] same way, ls -la agains the device file [09:30] so like ls -la /dev ? [09:30] abiQuinn: /dev/whateverdevice [09:31] oh, what device are we looking for? the one xboxdrv is taking as an input? [09:32] the one in your command [09:32] ikonia: crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 73 Jul 6 09:16 /dev/input/event9 [09:32] pedrovian: ok, so there is your permissions problem [09:33] pedrovian: so the advice of launching it from udev trigger would be better then [09:33] as you as a user will never have permissions to that device directly [09:33] okay [09:33] abiQuinn: I believe minimec had a suggestion for managing it as a udev event [09:34] ikonia: abiQuinn: Yeah... ;) [09:34] minimec: be my white knight please <3 [09:35] abiQuinn: Can you do 'lsusb' once in a terminal and give me the device ID of the device. Should look something like "1e7d:2e22" [09:36] I believe it's this one ID 054c:05c4 [09:36] abiQuinn: Hinweise zum Datenschutz bei Google [09:36] Suchergebnisse [09:36] Sony DualShock ;) Right... [09:37] erm german? and yes its a DS4 [09:38] abiQuinn: Swiss, but eventhough my environment language is english and I am living in the french part of switzerland, my firefox browser is somehow still set on german as default language... [09:44] whats next minimec? [09:44] abiQuinn: Hang on... ;) [09:46] ok no worries :D === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [09:47] abiQuinn: ikonia: So my idea would go in this direction: 1. create a file '/etc/udev/rules.d/xboxdrv.rules' with this content... http://paste.ubuntu.com/25031073/ 2. Do 'sudo udevadm control --reload-rules' to reload the udev rules. 3. Unplug/replug the device. [09:47] abiQuinn: Let's see what happens. [09:48] you're gonna guide me through that right minimec ? :S [09:49] Hi all [09:50] abiQuinn: 'sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/xboxdrv.rules' and paste the content of http://paste.ubuntu.com/25031073/ [09:51] erm gedit command not found? [09:52] minimec good morning [09:52] more specifically 'sudo: gedit: command not found' === steven_ is now known as steven [09:53] abiQuinn: Oh.. you're on kubuntu. Use the terminal editor then 'sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/xboxdrv.rules' [09:53] abiQuinn: v to paste; x to save [09:54] done [09:54] abiQuinn Don't copy ' [09:54] abiQuinn: 'sudo udevadm control --reload-rules' [09:55] xD Halleluia im a newb but that much I know [09:55] abiQuinn LOL... Great [09:55] done minimec [09:56] Halleluia bows to minimec [09:56] abiQuinn: unplug/plug the device and look in 'dmesg' (the last 5-10 lines) how the deivce is recognized. [09:56] how do I look in 'dmesg' sorry if thats a dumb question [09:57] abiQuinn: Also have a look in '/dev/input'. Hopefully you have a 'dualshock' device in there now. [09:59] erm minimec sorry im really a noob... devices show the dualshock 4 controller though... I don't know how to look in dmesg, where is that? [10:00] abiQuinn: Just type 'dmesg' in terminal [10:01] erm is okay to paste like 10 lines here? I know some people dislike it [10:02] abiQuinn: Don't paste here... You can 'sudo apt install pastebinit' and then 'dmesg | pasteinit' and share the link. [10:03] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25031158/ [10:03] just did the last section for you [10:05] abiQuinn: That looks normal. So you have a '/dev/input/dualshock' device now right? Try to use the device now in a game. If we are lucky... ;) But... we might have to tune that udev rule... [10:06] erm, I have dev/input/js0 which I think is the device [10:07] I seem to have no input in steam [10:08] which I gathered would be the case, if xboxdrv runs correctly I should have js0 (ds4) and js1 (xboxdrv created xbox360 gamepad) [10:10] oh I see you've done some renaming so I should actually see "dualshock" minimec, thats not there [10:13] abiQuinn: Can you replace the content of our xboxdrv.rules file with this once... http://paste.ubuntu.com/25031341/ [10:14] abiQuinn: Don't forget to 'sudo udevadm control --reload-rules' after the change. [10:15] Hello, as I understand ubuntu has multiple clipboards, how do i make it has only one? [10:16] minimec: done, uplugged and replugged, still no /dev/input/dualshock [10:19] abiQuinn: Try 'ls /dev | grep dualshock' once. Just to be sure... [10:20] it responded with a salmon coloured 'dualshock' [10:20] abiQuinn: Good. So it is there somewhere... [10:21] ooh I found a file in dev called dualshock [10:22] abiQuinn: Ok. So we change our rule file and replace '/dev/input/dualshock' with '/dev/dualshock' in the 'RUN+' section. [10:23] abiQuinn: and... reload the rules ... 'sudo udevadm control --reload-rules' [10:24] kay done [10:25] abiQuinn: unplug/plug... and test... ;) [10:25] still doesn't seem to be creating the xboxdrv xbox360 gamepad [10:26] is dualshock like symlinked to the event that belongs to the controller or something? is that what we're rtying to achieve? [10:27] abiQuinn: exactly. [10:27] ok, at least my understanding is somewhat correct :D [10:29] so because the command is running from udev, we don't need sudo before the xboxdrv? [10:29] abiQuinn: We should not need to, because the system is running the command and not the user. [10:29] ok [10:30] abiQuinn: You can once try to 'sudo xboxdrv --evdev /dev/dualshock --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y --axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_WEST=x,BTN_NORTH=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_START=start,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr --mimic-xpad --silent &' in the terminal. See what happens. [10:31] I was just about to [10:33] Error Operation not permitted minimec [10:35] I would guess that means the /dev/dualshock part isn't working as intended minimec? [10:37] abiQuinn: No. I don't think so. [10:37] ok [10:38] abiQuinn: Can you once unplug the device and then 'sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver'; then plug the device? [10:39] done [10:40] /dev/dualshock exists /dev/input/js0 doesn't exist anymore even though the device is plugged in [10:40] abiQuinn: and? [10:41] abuQuinn: Issue resolved? [10:41] so now I have no registered joysticks [10:41] abiQuinn: Issue resolved? [10:41] I don't believe so Halleluia [10:41] OMG! [10:42] is it that surprising? Halleluia eveything I've tried to get working has tkaen about this long or more xD [10:43] yeh minimec I have no registered joystick now :) [10:43] minimec is good I know that for sure... you know abiQuinn: minimec told me yesterday best option was to reinstall ubuntu, I thought he was just .... you know, so i checked out google and everywhere for answer yet none like he said. hence I believe him. If he can;t solve yours no one can. Just my thought though [10:44] ok thanks for the info Halleluia I got full faith in minimec :D [10:44] Great! [10:45] Halleluia: No... I did not tell you that. I would have tried other things... Were the guy that installed some tools with a script right? I normally debug first, before I reinstall... ;) [10:46] Hi folks [10:46] BluesKaj: Greetings. [10:46] hi minimec [10:46] i installed word press on amazon servers and i have the wordpress.com desktop app. can this be used to access amazon's installation of wordpres? [10:48] abiQuinn: So if we roll back once for a try. 'sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/xboxdrv.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/.xboxdrv.rules', then 'sudo udevadm control --reload-rules' [10:49] minimec: yes but I finally took to the hills and reinstalled and I'm good to go. By the way, the term backup has always been my first step before anything 3rd party software. LOL... Just being safe [10:49] BluesKaj: greetings [10:50] abiQuinn: You should now have the state of the system as before without the rule. Try to initialize the device as you were used before. [10:50] hi Halleluia [10:50] ok minimec [10:50] BluesKaj: Any plans for today? [10:51] yeah, a little yardwork..how about you Halleluia? [10:52] okay minimec I has /js0 back now, so I could run xboxdrv and set it all up like I did before now and it would work [10:54] abiQuinn: Just for a try. I want to see how that xboxdrv module works. Can you initialize the device as you did before? [10:54] I can [10:54] BluesKaj: I see a pattern... Trying to run with Kali-linux tools. Gotta learn some stuffs [10:55] do you want the resource I used to learn to set it up? [10:55] abiQuinn: And you always use '/dev/input/event9' in your command? [10:55] minimec: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/558748653738497361/?ctp=3 [10:55] minimec: erm, I've only done it once and the guide suggests to find the event [10:56] minimec: yeh and it's not event9 this time so that would change [10:57] abiQuinn: So you always have to change your command. That's why we try to work with the SYMLINK, so that the command always stays the same. [10:57] dunno much about kali-linux, never used it, Halleluia ...it's not supported here [10:58] I get that minimec, I realised thats what you were trying to do earlier [11:00] minimec: could it be worth trying again with the KERNEL version of the pastebin rather than the USB subsystem version incase I just missed where the dualshock file was saved? [11:00] BluesKaj: I know... just looking and playing around it... It gives me the heebeegeebees [11:02] abiQuinn: Good idea, but you would have to modify the RUN+ section to match the location '/dev/dualshock'. Dont' forget to reload the rules afterwards... [11:03] abiQuinn: and 'sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/.xboxdrv.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/xboxdrv.rules' first [11:03] yep done all that [11:04] okay minimec with the kernel version, dualshock doesn't appear in /dev/ or /dev/input/ [11:05] and /dev/input/js0 still exists [11:07] Halleluia, it became popular after it was shown on Mr Robot with the i3wm [11:08] abiQuinn: Yeah... It's because 'uinput' is not in the default ubuntu kernel anymore. That's why I removed it from our rule. [11:08] minimec: ok, I'll revert it back to the usb subsystem verion then [11:10] BluesKaj: xD ... please I'll prefer not to laugh [11:11] Halleluia, it's true ...fanboys are everywhere :-) [11:15] abiQuinn: Ok. We try to add something to our rule... Change the rule to look like this. Just leave the RUN+ part untouched... [11:16] abiQuinn: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05c4", OWNER="xboxdrv", GROUP="xboxdrv", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="dualshock",\ === thib_ is now known as thib [11:17] abiQuinn: Did you have to add your user to a xboxdrv group once? [11:17] I don't believe so minimec [11:19] that doesn't seem to have worked either minimec, someone I was talking to a while ago said something about running xboxdrv as a daemon? [11:19] abiQuinn: Ok. So use GROUP="plugdev" instead of "xboxdrv" [11:20] still no /dev/input/js1 created by xboxdrv minimec (thats what i'm using to check, is that right?) [11:24] hang-on minimec I made a mistake [11:24] seriously? [11:24] abiQuinn: Looks like xboxdrv is creating som js* device [11:25] when I swapped from kernel back to subsystem I forgot to change /dev/dualshock [11:25] let me try these again with that change [11:25] abiQuinn: Oh... ;) and always reload the rules... [11:26] abiQuinn: Still I am pessimistic, as I don't even know if a user is in the 'plugdev' group per default... [11:27] yeh still nothing minimec :( [11:32] abiQuinn: Ok. We change "usb" in SUBSYSTEM to "input". That should give you '/dev/input/dualshock', instead of '/dev/dualshock'. We remove 'OWNER' and 'GROUP'... [11:32] minimec ok :) [11:32] abiQuinn: You will again have to change the RUN+ part to match /dev/input/dualshock [11:33] minimec: I'm going to reboot quick [11:33] abiQuinn: Ok. [11:35] minimec: hey okay what are we doing? [11:37] ah damn it, still nothing as far as I can tell minimec [11:37] abiQuinn: Is 'dualshock in '/dev/input' now. That alone looks nicer to me, even though it's cosmetic [11:38] it's still in dev by the look of it [11:38] abiQuinn: Can you give me the current content of the rules file? [11:39] how would I do that? [11:40] abiQuinn: 'cat /etc/udev/rules.d/xboxdrv.rules | pastebinit' Share the link [11:41] ok have to install pastebin first [11:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25031685/ [11:47] abiQuinn: Looks ok, besides the fact that we link to '/dev/input/dualshock' again. Try SYMLINK+="input/dualshock". Once I want that link in the /dev/input folder. [11:48] well small success we got it to be /dev/input/dualshock [11:49] abiQuinn: Indeed... Even with that udev rule you should be able to initialize the device as you did it before. Try that once. [11:50] using the dualshock symlink or by searching through the events? [11:52] abiQuinn: TRy with 'events' first. [11:53] minimec: what IRC client you use? [11:55]
