@NathanOsman sweet!

12:37 AM

@NathanOsman Meh: I have something more nifty then that: When I walk into my kitchen, the lights just switch on all by themselves: It's called an InfraRed light switch.

Nathan Osman

But...

...mine will also be programmed to flash to music.

Fabby

@NathanOsman Ah! Mine doesn't do that little bit!!! ;-)

Nathan Osman

Mine also exposes a simple HTTP API so I can plug it into just about anything :P

IoT, here we come!

Fabby

@NathanOsman Will it allow you to switch on the lights with wet hands without being electrocuted???

:D ;-)

Nathan Osman

With my smartphone, sort of.

Sometimes wet hands work on a touchscreen.

Fabby

12:40 AM

@NathanOsman Ah! I would have been more impressed if you used the light sensor of your phone as a motion detector!

Nathan Osman

Didn't you see the screenshot?

1 hour ago, by Nathan Osman

That works just fine on a mobile device too.

Anything on the network can bring up that page.

Even my Kindle :P

@Fabby That would be easy enough to do though.

Fabby

@NathanOsman Yes I did see that! I was trying to make you smile!

Nathan Osman

:)

Fabby

Better! :-)

Nathan Osman

The whole thing is a work in progress.

It will do more things once I write some more code.

I still have some wiring to do.

Fabby

12:43 AM

@NathanOsman Actually, the pic I showed you is of the wiring process in the kitchen...

Now it looks more like this:

Nathan Osman

That looks good.

Seth

@Fabby nice! Although I guess I am spoiled with 2x that counter space :P

Fabby

@Seth That's the cooking half of the kitchen: there is also the washing-up half to allow me to keep the dirty stuff separated from the food! :P

>:-)

Seth

Nice!

Fabby

(thought that bit is much smaller, so I still come out smaller then you...)

Seth

12:54 AM

It did cross my mind that that was awful little counter space for a good cook like you ;p

Fabby

It's enough to cook for 12 people...

Seth

awesome. I especially like the dishwasher.

Fabby

yeah, though I had to compromise on having 2 sinks: now I have one large and one small sink...

Can't find any more pics of the kitchen like it is now: those were the pics I took for insurance purposes...

@KGIII I like to KISS (Keep it Simply Stupid)

(which means: Plain vanilla Ubuntu with Unity, though with my own Steam-punk Theme)

@KGIII Some day, @ParanoidPanda is going to be a great security researcher: he positively attracts trouble! :D

@Zacharee1 None of those... :P Though I use startpage.com (CC: @terdon)

:D Just read this one and that's what all my reputation North of 25K are for: to give away as bounty for very good answers (or Answers that took a lot of work)

Seth

1:12 AM

@Fabby Yup. Look at how many our own Jorge Castro has given away: askubuntu.com/users/235/…

Zacharee1

@Fabby Do you dig up old convos regularly? :p

Fabby

@Seth Yeah, I know: that's all bad juju though! :D :D :D

I'm newbie in Ubuntu. I would like to listen on the logs from the client connecting to my server(tomcat) from my SSH terminal, how do I do that?

user139252

I have one handling my VPN server, one handling shellinabox, and now I will have one as a Minecraft server :D

user139252

@mr5 Like, connection logs?

user139252

You can always run last to see log-in activity, including SSH sessions.

user139252

How long they were logged in, when they logged in, what IP they originated from, etc...

mr5

1:50 AM

Uhm the logs where I can see that certain clients are trying to connect to my server.

Okay. I'll try that out. Thanks :)

user139252

user139252

You can see the IPs there, that top one being my local IP from the Kali machine I'm on now

mr5

I really mean is, listen to a file? Like that file is being used by the tomcat server to log all the client that accessed the server via GET or POST method and update me for every time the file is modified

user139252

Do you know where this file is stored?

mr5

Yes

user139252

Alright... gimme like 5 minutes, gonna write and test a script

mr5

1:56 AM

Oh thank you sir :)

I'm sorry if I interrupt you to your work.

Terrance

@mr5 splunk is another alternative for logging everything on your tomcat server.

user139252

@mr5 It's ma'am :P. And, no, you did not interrupt anything :D

mr5

@Terrance cool. I will check that out

@HeatherBrown sorry Madam :)

Terrance

@mr5 I know there is a free version that will allow like 500GB or something like that in logging.

user139252

@mr5 Try doing sudo apt-get install inotify-tools beep to install the pre-reqs of what I have in mind

Terrance

1:59 AM

splunk.com/en_us/homepage.html

mr5

@HeatherBrown okay will do...

Terrance

@mr5 I can't find what my friend was talking about, so maybe not a good alternative.

mr5

@Terrance that app is too much for me. I would like to only be updated for a single file =P

Terrance

@mr5 I found the freebie

mr5

And pure text is enough for me

Terrance

2:01 AM

@mr5 splunk.com/en_us/download.html and it does 500MB a day.

user139252

After you install those two fairly small apps, you'll need to do vi filecheck.sh (replacing vi with the editor of your choice, such as nano or gedit. If you're a newbie, try using nano)

Nathan Osman

I resent that nano comment!

:P

Cue the next round of editor wars...

Terrance

:D

@NathanOsman LOL

mr5

@HeatherBrown is vi and vim the same?

user139252

In that file, you'll want to do:

    #!/bin/bash
    while inotifywait -q -e modify /path/to/log/file >/dev/null; do
        echo "Log is changed"
        beep
    done

user139252

2:04 AM

Yes, they are the same

mr5

so I'll just replace the path right?

user139252

Then, you can chmod +x filecheck.sh and run in a terminal with ./filecheck.sh

user139252

As long as you have that terminal open, you will see the out put of "Log is changed" everytime the file is modified.

mr5

+x means? make the file executable?

user139252

You will also hear a "beep" if beep works correctly on your system.

user139252

2:06 AM

Yes, +x makes executable

mr5

Uhm what If I want to see the new modifications?

user139252

You can modify the body of that while loop however you want, such as adding in tail /path/to/log/file

mr5

Uhm. I used nano. I copy-pasted your scripts and how do I save the file?

user139252

By default, the tail command puts out the last 10 lines of a file

Terrance

user139252

2:08 AM

You can press CTRL+X to exit, it will prompt if you want to save.

mr5

Okay I'll just edit some of your scripts :)

user139252

It should work, I did minimal testing as I am currently fed up with the choppy input on Kali... Not sure why my keyboard is cutting out...

mr5

Is the path of the script relative?

user139252

But, it did beep when I did a touch on my test file

user139252

@mr5 What do you mean? Like, do you have to be in the same directory to run it?

mr5

2:12 AM

uhh I think I need to study first the language. I will be needing a script that can handle my goal

user139252

Only if you want to run it with ./filecheck.sh

user139252

Or do you mean the /path/to/log/file part?

user139252

If you see a leading /, that usually means you're supposed to use an absolute path.

mr5

I placed the filecheck.sh on the same directory where the logs are built so, is it enough to just specify the filename?

user139252

So, to run the script, do sh /path/to/filecheck.sh

mr5

2:17 AM

Can I hear the beep if I'm just on the remote?

@HeatherBrown Yay! It worked! :D

but it doesn't beep

user139252

Ah, beep will not work from remote

user139252

Don't really know how to make it beep your local machine remotely....

mr5

so I'll just start from this and refactor this to suit my needs. Many thanks madam @HeatherBrown :)

user139252

I'm glad I could help :D

user139252

Next time, though, post a question on the site so that I can get rep ;P

mr5

2:26 AM

I'm afraid to post questions. I might get negative responses.

Mateo

2:39 AM

so I got one of these on sale: mcmelectronics.com/product/58-17505

Seth

that's old.

Mateo

yeah...

hopefully I can see how the touch screen would work, and plan out what I need for something newer

so orange ;)

Nathan Osman

Now you're making me feel old :P

I remember the orange humanity theme.

Back in the days of Hardy Heron :P

Mateo

I do like the background for that one

Nathan Osman

If I remember correctly, the UI had a really "glossy" look to it.

Mateo

3:17 AM

this is fun

Nathan Osman

Does "Add/Remove" at the bottom of the Applications menu just launch Synaptic?

Mateo

nah, they had a basic quite good software type center, was way better, I even was keeping it at an old version for a while, I think almost to 12.04 I tried to use the old one

ah here it was: askubuntu.com/questions/95497/…

I think that was one of my first answers

oh, my link is broken...

oh well, was just like the other desktop's software centers like muon

3:33 AM

So my $1000 laptop froze while playing a video thru HDMI, with that annoying distortion sound that I know all too well from the days of my Acer

I had to force shut down and boot into Ubuntu to finish the video

Mateo

so, win froze?

Zacharee1

@Mateo yep. Never had this problem before on this computer

And Ubuntu had graphics tearing because I have NVIDIA

Mateo

~~\o/~~ well, sorta ;P

Zacharee1

How do you do strikethrough?

Zacharee1

~~test~~

oh

fun

Someone told me on a forum that my battery issues on my and my mom's Notes were because I did something wrong

Mateo

3:37 AM

Zacharee1

Apparently what we did wrong was buy a Note from Verizon

-_-

My mom's phone was bought with 5.0.1 and had terrible battery life OOTB

Mateo

Chan-Ho Suh

it's surprising how many people misunderstand the xkcd comic 936

for example, Jeff Atwood's bogus answer to a stackexchange question asking about the comic: security.stackexchange.com/a/6103

Serg

7:05 AM

@A.B. your example is empty

Also, is there anything you want me to change in the script that i've posted ? How about deb-src ? Right now my script automatically adds deb and deb-src , if you want , i can add option $3 that will conditionally append deb-src entries

As for those questions, last couple of days i wasn't so active on the site, so i didn't consider them.

A.B.

@Serg Yes, it's empty. Means sources.listis empty and after running the command, still empty =)

Serg

O.O

I don't understand

A.B.

@Serg If you start with an empty sources.list, there is nothing to do for the command

@Serg I have edited the examples =)

@SmokeDetector askubuntu.com/q/702671/367165

Serg

That doesn't make sense, though. You're telling the command to enable security, i.e. write to the list. If you want to check if the file is empty, how about another flag, like "sourceScript.sh checkFile" ?

@A.B.

A.B.

The trigger for the command to add or remove something is an existing repository. If sources.list is empty, there is nothing to do for the command, because there is no repository. @Serg

Serg

7:24 AM

@A.B. archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu are always existing, because they are official ubuntu repositories. And that's how GUI behaves ,too. You check/uncheck something, it writes to file. It doesn't check source for existence.

A.B.

Not after a echo | sudo tee > /etc/apt/sources.list =)

Serg

Yes, that clears the list

A.B.

Yes and if that's so, sourceScript.sh has nothing to do.

I can't tell whether it would be possible to connect a USB device to it... it looks like it provides a micro-USB connector?

If so, I could probably connect a WiFi adapter.

Serg

@A.B. OK, I'll include that as another functionality . . . .What do you want with deb-src ? and default ? (example 6 )

Nathan Osman

7:36 AM

Aha.

> "...one for power and data, another for USB OTG..."

Journeyman Geek

@NathanOsman USB OTG

Nathan Osman

I see that now.

Journeyman Geek

What do they mean by 'data' here tho

does it do device mode, or do they break out ethernet there somewhere.

Nathan Osman

Good question - maybe it's one of those combined USB OTG and power connectors.

(I'm not sure what they are officially referred to as.)

A.B.

@Serg If there is no entry deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily … but an entry deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily-… … the command have to add deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily …, depending on the repos for deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily-… …

Nathan Osman

7:42 AM

This is what you need to get in addition to the unit: swag.raspberrypi.org/collections/pi-kits/products/…

Serg

I think I am more && more confused

Nathan Osman

@JourneymanGeek on swag.raspberrypi.org, the put it this way: "micro-B USB for data // micro-B USB for power"

A.B.

@Serg 1. Your script does nothing, if there is no repository.

2. Respect each enabled repository, 3. Respect the servers for the repositories, it's possible, that there are different servers for different repositories 4. Respect different Ubuntu releases (trusty, wily). @serg

Journeyman Geek

hmm

so its a downsized, reduced usb port model A?

Serg

7:59 AM

@A.B. My script already does 4 since it checks lsb_release. 3 could be a problem , since it checks for existing entries in /etc/sources.list . 2 I kind of don't get this one; the script only deals with what you want to enable, if you ask for security, it enables security, nothing else is touched. 1 is confusing because the repositories archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com are canonical servers. If these don't exist , it means ubuntu doesn't exist, it's stopped being developed

Well, I guess i'm not getting something bigger here. . . . As far as GUI thing goes, it rewrites the file each time, the file itself is never empty . . . . And if it's empty, GUi thing writes whatever sources you chose to the file

A.B.

@Serg slightly remove the GUI from your mind =) Point 4, it's possible, that you have
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily main
at the same time in your sources.list. See example 9 in the question.

With this entries in your sources.list, the file is still valid. Makes no sense, but it's valid @Serg

Serg

8:14 AM

So . . . you want the script to check what releases are enabled . . . That means traversing the sources.list and checking each line that matches pattern /^deb.*/ for the type of release in field $3.

A.B.

First check the enabled repositories. After that, check the server and the release for enabled repositories. If there are two different servers for one repository, eg: deb archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily main and deb us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily main, create an entry for both servers. @Serg

@A.B. is it OK, if the script rewrites sources.list file from scratch ?

In other words, it regenerates the sources.list but also appends what you want enabled

oh, no ! It's 2:30 0AM again

cl-netbox

@Serg why not write a script that rebuilds the whole ubuntu from scratch ? This would automatically solve this as well ! :D

A.B.

@Serg sure, why not. But don't delete existing PPAs =)

Serg

@cl-netbox ^_^ my scripting skills are limited, even for that

xiaodongjie

@A.B. @Serg I think that can use software center's api.

cl-netbox

@Serg really can't believe this ! =)

Serg

9:32 AM

@xiaodongjie Yes . . . .and I think it's all python . . . .and I don't speak snake . . .

I mean python

A.B.

@xiaodongjie =) Perhaps

xiaodongjie

@Serg yes, it's python3.

@A.B. So i'm trying to do it now.

cl-netbox

@xiaodongjie you have to know one thing : if @Serg doesn't have a minimum of 10 mugs of coffee, he does not understand what you mean ! =)

Serg

A.B.

What are 64-bit mark targets in iptables?

Serg

Which is a really cool list of all ubuntu mirrors for countries and stuff

xiaodongjie

A.B.

cl-netbox

A.B.

kos

Morning all o/

Yeah back at it... @cl-netbox @A.B.

cl-netbox

@kos Good morning my friend - something has changed : It is not the excitement badge anymore ... now it is the MADMAN badge you can earn ! =)

Serg

AHA ! awk '/^deb.*/ {print $3}' /etc/apt/sources.list | sort -u

@kos when will you post already ? I ain't got no competition for me yet ! Also . . . I'm rewriting my script . . .from scratch i guess. . . .

xiaodongjie

A.B.

@xiaodongjie I'm confused =)

xiaodongjie

9:50 AM

:)

@A.B. I'm writing the script now.

Serg

OK . . . .new version of script will be comming tomorrow . . . .Smoke break !

kos

@Serg I'm rewriting it from scratches as well to cope with the requirement in the question, the script I had did something else. !

A.B.

YEAH

Serg

@kos I also wanna adhere to the requirements as much as possible, and I think there is a better way to keep everything organized. My previous script kind of works, but after pondering the requirements over and over, i think i may have a better and easier script . . . The other one is like 200 lines or something

kos

@A.B. We're making progresses, now it's smarter:

A.B.

9:56 AM

@kos :D

kos

@A.B. :D I should be able to post it today

Ah one thing, what if there are different mirrors?

Serg

@A.B. question about requirement #8 : basically "for each URI generate line deb $URI $suite $component1 $component2 " . Correct ?

A.B.

@kos Respect each of them =)

@Serg yes
