See your spellcheck comment on the starwall. I found it quite funny

@NathanOsman found it. I was just able to paste it first :p

@hbdgaf apparently, nothing

@Mateo Thanks, Mateo. What was happening was that it would only capture the transparency layer without the text, but I finally found a question in the site that said it will work if you do it from the command line, which it did.

user139252

@SQuirel Are you in Chile, by any chance?

hi

@TheBrownOne Chile?

user139252

The country, and I'll take that as a no :P

@TheBrownOne I'm bad at geography :P

@TheBrownOne Is there something going on in chile?

user139252

No, I got an abuse complaint from my ISP about traffic to Chile

user139252

1:52 AM

I'm just trying to figure out what happened

I'm in nevada

chaskes

yep, Nevada Chile: sialparis.com/Exhibitors-list-SIAL-2014/Exhibitors-list/…

user139252

I knew it! The squirel cannot be trusted!

There's a chile in nevada?

@TheBrownOne because I use nano :P ?

user139252

@SQuirel Exactly. We all know that only terrorists and aliens use nano.

chaskes

1:57 AM

Well, apparently it's the name of a company (in Santiago). I just got lucky with google.

user139252

I sent an email to the representative who filed the initial complaint with my ISP, though. Their email said that I can reply to it if more details were needed.

user139252

I let them know of the steps I've taken to prevent any further interactions and asked for more details as to the supposed attempted attack

@TheBrownOne Did you get the ip of the hacker?

user139252

@SQuirel They said my IP was attacking them

user139252

Which is what I'm trying to look into

user139252

2:01 AM

Here is the complaint provided by my ISP.

user139252

Not much information to go by

Your ISP sent you it?

user139252

Yeah, it was sent to them by the Chilean Gov't, apparently.

Any idea when the "attack" took place?

is chile in Australia?

Hey....I need a pi/linux/wordpress/ssh/all around computer expert...

Anyone qualify?

2:13 AM

Not me :)

I don't even know where/what chile is :)

user139252

@TheXed Actually... I'm good with all of the above.

@TheBrownOne okay cool

user139252

You have to make it quick, though, my break from class is almost up :P

@TheBrownOne here is my problem...

So I installed wordpress on my pi connect via ssh

user139252

Yes, I have done such before.

2:15 AM

trying to upload a theme, but it is giving me a premission error

so I guess I need to give wordpress ownership or or something?

So I sort-of got shairport-sync working.

user139252

sudo chown -R www-data: /path/to/wordpress & sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/wordpress

It won't run as a daemon but it runs fine under my user account.

@TheXed Depends how you installed.

@NathanOsman like a boss....

I use Docker for running WordPress :) That won't work on a Pi though - not without rebuilding the image for ARM anyway.

2:16 AM

oh wait that isn't what you mean....

user139252

At least, if you're using Apache webserver. I don't know if nginx uses the same user

user139252

gotta go, class :(

@TheBrownOne It does.

Yes to apache.

Are you running mod_php or using FastCGI like the cool people?

2:18 AM

I don't know what either of those are

How did you install WordPress?

What steps did you perform?

Then we can figure out what happened.

set up apache

set up php

set up mysql

downloaded and extracted wordpress

went through the install procedure

(that is is the short and simple version)

How did you set up PHP?

sudo apt-get install php blah blah blah

let me get the actual command

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 -y

Okay.

What happens if you run the command @TheBrownOne gave you:

7 mins ago, by The Brown One

sudo chown -R www-data: /path/to/wordpress & sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/wordpress

Any difference?

2:23 AM

tryiing right now

@TheBrownOne @NathanOsman yup that worked, thanks!

Ugh...

how do I change the maximum upload size?

change in php.ini

2:46 AM

@NathanOsman I can't get it to upload anything bigger then 8Mb

even though I have changed it to 32

Changed what?

upload_max_filesize in php.ini

Have you changed upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in php.ini?

And restarted Apache after making the changes?

Did you use the right php.ini?

2:52 AM

I used the one in /etc/php5

its went up from 2

Wrong one.

You want to change: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

that is what I meant

Oh.

Did you restart Apache after changing it?

oh wait

I thought I changed post max size but it didn't get saved

Did you use sudo to launch the editor?

You need root to write changes to that file.

2:55 AM

yeah

who knows what I goofed up

@NathanOsman fixed

Excellent.

any suggestions are appreciated. :)

@NathanOsman the results of your hard work

joshuapbell.com

3:30 AM

Those images are huge.

Can't you downscale them for the preview?

I was just going to say that :p

Also, there's a rather unfortunate configuration error on your end.

You have set up WordPress to use the host joshupbell.com (without the "a").

Therefore, none of the links work.

Oh - it's fixed now.

Does it work for you?

Trump was right. I'm already sick of all this winning.

Hi

user139252

I don't get it, I was using my own name servers

user139252

Granted, they were vanity name servers registered by Namecheap, but still.

user139252

I don't see why my sites would be down if I wasn't using their physical servers as nameservers

It must be something else.

I have a domain registered there that uses different name servers too.

And it's up right now.

user139252

@NathanOsman Were they vanity nameservers registered through Namecheap, though?

user139252

I didn't sign up for a name service, I just said "Point ns1.browntech.space to this ip, and point ns2.browntech.space there too"

user139252

And I can reach that ip just fine through ssh, and I can get to the webpage by ip

georgethedev.xyz

Does that count as vanity?

user139252

What are your nameservers?

4:28 AM

ns1.digitalocean.com.
ns2.digitalocean.com.
ns3.digitalocean.com.

user139252

Okay, no, those are just external nameservers

Isn't that what you were talking about?

user139252

No, vanity nameservers are still managed by the registrar

user139252

I had to tell Namecheap that my nameservers resolve to a specific IP

user139252

DigitalOcean manages their own nameservers

Hi.

Please make more George the dev videos :)

I've seen each one of them at least 3 times each :)

@NathanOsman George Edison is awesome

@SQuirel :)

Thanks for the kind words.

I have lots more planned, don't worry.

I wanted to get one done last week but I got a cold.

And I don't think my voice would sound the same with a cold.

:(

Don't worry, I'm feeling better now.

6:02 AM

Ok

This place is always quiet around this time :(

This spring has been surprisingly abundant with colds

I got sick 4 times since December

I know :(

Yeah, a bit quiet , mostly because in the US it's night time and in Europe still early morning, like 9 am or so

Happy May 4th everyone.

11:05 here

6:05 AM

Happy May 4 to you too, @jokerdino.

Is that supposed to be a holiday?

We wish.

It's always a holiday in the AskUbuntu chat

We celebrate chatting . . .

And life

And Wednesdays, apparently.

And pineapples . . . .for no reason at all

And nano :D

And we love bacon.

BACON!!!!!!!!!!!!

What i really celebrate right now is my shellrc file. I'm trying to make it ksh and bash compatible so i can reuse it, and packaging it with all sorts of functions

Ksh?

Let's all BASH windows :D

I really don't like Node right now. It won't install yeti.

ksh is a nice shell. Bash took a lot of its ideas , like parameter expansion

Personally I use mksh , which is somewhat of improved ksh93 , with line editing. It is used on freebsd i believe and android

You use android?

Yup , Oxygen OS to be precise

I don't do any ROM flashing unfortunalty,..

My experience with the Nexus 6 was not pleasant.

Oneplus 3 isn't even released yet

Bluetooth bugs that go unfixed for 6 months, no 60fps option even though it is fully supported by the hardware and Google's attitude "adding this feature to a legacy device isn't worth it"...

@Serg I know.

@NathanOsman Then, the answer is: you're looking at the wrong place. Look at the CVE tracker and USN

Legacy device? It was released November 2014. You still support it!!!

And I'm not sure what your last comment is meant to say.

6:31 AM

@muru sorry, I'm not always very good at explaining things.

What I meant to say is that the question isn't really about what to do with the vulnerability but more to do with confusion over why the package doesn't seem to have the update.

Ok, I see. I think that's been discussed in the Heartbleed days, though.

NAA? askubuntu.com/a/767207/158442

If I only want a webserver linked, can I cut out all the excess in here

just writing that downgrade script based on my answer :)

Oh, I'm working on the same thing

based on my answer or buildign froom source ?

The building from source

I still want to finish that script

1:14 PM

lol so quick i never saw a question counting -1 votes

and gone it is :p

@Serg wanna see how far i got ? paste.ubuntu.com/16216476 your opinion would be cool

@Videonauth why && at the end ? cat > wget-list << "EOF" &&

to make sure it is done vefore the next step

dont wanna use sleep

Scripts are sequential in their nature anyway, it want proceed until the cat > wget-list << "EOF" . . . EOF thing is done

ah ok

removed the && at the cat then

what i have seen on my machine is only that even if yyou have a sequential script it can mess up

#!/bin/bash
sudo umount -v /sandbox/security/proc &&
sudo rm -rfv /sandbox/security/*

this one wont work without the &&

if i let it out it doesnt umount fast enough and beginns deleting even in /proc

Hmmm, that's odd

1:27 PM

&& only means do the next step only if the before one exited with success

the second comand wont run if the previous one failed

you can use || to make something happen on failure tho

1:39 PM

@serg want to test my script as far it concerns the basics instalation ?

paste.ubuntu.com/16216938 you need to sudo run it

ags ok sec i need to change something around

virtual box control key drives me nuts !!!

paste.ubuntu.com/16217152

if you want to test

@Videonauth I'm going to test it a bit later - I'll go through all the steps , from installation to uninstallation. Right now need to finish up mine a bit . By the way, do you know about shellcheck.net ? It's pretty neat tool for checking script syntax. Very useful
