Root Access

Some lesser Logitech mice (including the MX Anywhere 2) have the MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel but not the SmartShift feature (the ratchet is manually controlled).

It may not be obvious, but Logitech Options still lets you configure SmartShift to work differently for different applications.

> Logitech’s SmartShift technology detects the current active application window and automatically applies the scrolling mode that best fits the task at hand. For example, when a Microsoft Word® document is the user’s focus, the wheel defaults to free-spin mode, but sets itself to click-to-click mode when the user is navigating photos in the My Photos folder.

Though you'd need to manually configure it; it doesn't have a list of apps with predefined settings like the old MX Revolution software did.

@HornOKPlease, I did not see this one coming: amazon.com/gp/aw/review/B071YZJ1G1/R39779OIQTQIXE

I know it's late, but what's your experience with the MX Master 2S?

The name "allquixotic" just jumped out at me.

Michael Frank

Isn't that review enough??

bwDraco

It's a year old.

Journeyman Geek

hm, that went well.

I just realised my IP address keeps changing (yay?) so I set up dynamic DNS (turns out namecheap does it) . Also have some flavour of network monitoring through VNstat. and swapped out my wan benchmark for one that isn't giving me bogus result ;)

@rahuldottech So it's like... 12:30am and we're still watching The Good Place.

Journeyman Geek

11:41 AM

this is fun

anyone around here got ipv6 and can help me ping 2 IPs?

bertieb

12:03 PM

@JourneymanGeek Sure

Journeyman Geek

lemme know once you have em

bertieb

GCM strikes again

Journeyman Geek

GCM?

hmm

bertieb

Ghetto Chat Markdown

Journeyman Geek

Oh well

bertieb

12:06 PM

I could try from a v6-enabled VPS so it's at least n=2

Journeyman Geek

→ 5 messages moved to Recycle Bin

bertieb

Same result, response from first one but not second

Journeyman Geek

anyway nbd

I worked out what (part) of the problem was

bertieb

router fun?

Journeyman Geek

firewall rules on the router

bertieb

12:08 PM

Ah, well that's something

Journeyman Geek

ya

bertieb

Well, if you know what part of the problem is you're at least a third of the way towards fixing it ;-P

Journeyman Geek

gist.github.com/JourneymanGeek/9b7b778352d75f7240ace7088194e276

my clients can now contact ipv6 websites

bertieb

Progress!

Journeyman Geek

not being able to connect in is a .... good thing? ;p

bertieb

12:11 PM

Depends :P

If you want to connect in

I've used it on some rare occasions

Journeyman Geek

it might just be ping

IDK

I'll test it at work

bertieb

Fair dos

Journeyman Geek

thanks for the help

bertieb

Any time!

So with dnsmasq will local devices be able to query other devices' v4/6 names, out of interest?

Journeyman Geek

thanks for the help

and lol, I rubberducked the ex-SF folks on that

bertieb

12:12 PM

Something I've been meaning to sort out here and have only semi-working

Journeyman Geek

4 names yes

6... no idea

bertieb

Heh, fair enough

Journeyman Geek

6... no idea

never tested it

bertieb

I might pick your brain if and when you get that working :P

Journeyman Geek

and IPv6 is a "I'm annoyed I can't get it working" thing

I might de-activate it

bertieb

12:14 PM

Fair enough

Journeyman Geek

I need to throw my notes together something more readable

if all goes well, I might do it again in a few years ;)

bwDraco

1:11 PM

So... has anyone here used Logitech Flow?

It does work; however, the transition from Astaroth to Stolas (but not the other way around) is kinda slow.

Could just be how quickly the devices can connect via Bluetooth...

Journeyman Geek

1:23 PM

@bertieb mostly certain now it was the windows firewall

bertieb

Ah, an oft-overlooked culprit

Can re-test ?

Still nada :-\

Journeyman Geek

strange

ipv6 capable host?

bertieb

Yup

Ditto from v6-enabled VPS

Journeyman Geek

hm

there's another possibility

its my dryer causing packet loss, but that shouldn't be complete

bertieb

Oo

mtr reports it fails at the fifth hop

The first one you gave earlier on succeeds at the fifth hop, for comparison

Journeyman Geek

1:30 PM

or I need to open icmp at the router?

bertieb

Not sure, could try? I'm unclear on whether that refers to ICMP on the router itself or things behind it

djsmiley2k

icmp is needed for traceroute, yes

/me nods

Journeyman Geek

@bertieb I'm guessing the router isn't really forwarding all the packets by default

bertieb

Would make sense I guess

djsmiley2k

ipv6.forwardingis on?

Journeyman Geek

1:34 PM

ugh. I need to move the homeplug stuff

yes

but I had to explicitly allow established connections for ipv6 to work

djsmiley2k

/me is unaware of the whole problem

Journeyman Geek

I need to think about this lol

djsmiley2k

What, at all?

Journeyman Geek

I got ipv6 pd working

gist.github.com/JourneymanGeek/9b7b778352d75f7240ace7088194e276 <---- what I did.

djsmiley2k

# Disables packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

you should have this, for ipv6 too

set to 1.

Also in sysctl.conf

and you need to echo it somewhere to load it 'live, or reboot.

somewhere in /proc/ land

Journeyman Geek

1:38 PM

and the ipv6 firewall rules are sessentially the same outside masqurading as the ipv4 rules I used

djsmiley2k

That's pasted from a machine currently built without ipv6 support tho

@JourneymanGeek but nothing seems to get past the router?

Journeyman Geek

nope

djsmiley2k

> For IPv6, we will do the same with this line:

| net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
The configuration can then be reloaded so that the changes take effect immediately:

| sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

Journeyman Geek

but I can connect to ipv6.google.com

djsmiley2k

yup sounds like router isn't forwarding IPv6....

try above, your firewall rules will still be in effect

so hopefully you can see them getting hit.

Right now i suspect they don't, but it depends how they're implemented.

Journeyman Geek

1:42 PM

ok done

@bertieb try again?

bertieb

Same IP?

If so, no reply

Journeyman Geek

I'll figure it out later

oh well

It might be that its a windows box

At this point its something that is narrow enough to be a SU question ;)

I actually think at this point its the firewall

bertieb

Hehe :-P

Journeyman Geek

hmmmmm

Q: Firewalld blocks IPv6, ignores config

I'm trying to setup an IPv6 web-server on CentOS 7.2 with NGINX. I have tested my IPv6 connectivity outgoing and incoming - everything works. My IP, AAAA records, etc as fine as well. Essentially everything is OK until I enable FirewallD. I have it set up to default to the drop zone with eth0 in...

I'll throw together a linux box later, and put a webpage on it, it'll be easier to test

(yes, I'm running firewalld. I'm rather fond of it)

bwDraco

1:58 PM

Despite the slow transfer from one system to another, Logitech Flow does work and not only did the mouse go from one machine to another, I was able to transfer files as designed, passing through the local network.

I'll keep it off most of the time but will turn it on as needed.

Well done, Logitech.

djsmiley2k

2:15 PM

@JourneymanGeek will need logs for any further debugging

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k I think I roughly know what's happening at this point

the ipv6 forwarding sysctl rule dosen't seem to make a difference from what I can tell

djsmiley2k

So far, it looks like firewalld is a really bad implementation of a frontend for iptables XD

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k its mostly nice.

and I prefer it to UFW

djsmiley2k

I just use raw iptables, it really isn't hard,.

:D

Journeyman Geek

(of course I'm running ubuntu, and dumping a lot of the stuff unique to it)

bwDraco

2:18 PM

I'm trying to get firewalld to work on one of my servers and it's a pain in the butt.

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k other than needing to save and reload rules every boot? ;p

gist.github.com/JourneymanGeek/8e51bbc7bd2e2b17097d3fa10e87a237

that's my firewalld notes

djsmiley2k

@JourneymanGeek my init scripts do that too

and i only save when i change them and they work

otherwise you risk saving rules which lock you out.

djsmiley2k

2:23 PM

@JourneymanGeek exactly

bwDraco

Nothing relevant in dmesg.

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k I actually do it in a lot of speculative commands

bwDraco

Until this is fixed, iptables is blocking everything and I need to use the OoB shell.

djsmiley2k

I'm confused

if firewalld is ip agnostic

why does every command specify it's ipv4? :@D

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k hmmmm

djsmiley2k

2:26 PM

@bwDraco no conntrack support in kernel, is your problem

Why? because idiots don't know how to build kernels properly.

Journeyman Geek

cause ipv4 and 6 have different ports/firewalls?

bwDraco

Odd... my main server has no such problem.

djsmiley2k

or whoever packaged that script didn't have the 'standard' kernel

modprobe nf_conntrack mmmmmmmaybe

bwDraco

Firewalld is running as it should on the main server.

djsmiley2k

│ Symbol: NF_CONNTRACK [=n] │

wow I got the module name right

bwDraco

2:27 PM

Going to reboot both servers after updating as a diagnostic step.

djsmiley2k

Rebooting linux servers is generally pointless

bwDraco

Then again, the failing server is running openSUSE Tumbleweed and not Leap.

djsmiley2k

unless you've specifically done a kernel upgrade. This isn't windows.

Journeyman Geek

hmmmm

forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/…

@bwDraco smells similar

"Tumbleweed"....

bwDraco

The Tumbleweed machine frequently gets big updates. It's my experimental "cloud desktop" server and it doesn't run public services.

Journeyman Geek

2:29 PM

that may be part of the problem

bwDraco

The server that runs my main website isn't rebooted anywhere near as often.

djsmiley2k

meh

| firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 nat POSTROUTING 0 -o enp1s0 -j MASQUERADE

errr

My home server. It prob gets rebooted less than most production servers.

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k oh

two reasons for that

1) I set it up ipv4 only inside my network

djsmiley2k

@JourneymanGeek oooooooooooooooooo

Journeyman Geek

2) I couldn't set up ipv6 at the time (and there's no masqurading for ipv6)

djsmiley2k

2:31 PM

you doing IPv6 to IPv4 on teh router?

Journeyman Geek

nooo

Its native ipv6

with ipv6 pd

djsmiley2k

What's pd?

bwDraco

The main server gets a reboot every few weeks or so.

djsmiley2k

@bwDraco why?

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k prefix delegation

10

A: How do I deploy IPv6 within a LAN using a Debian based router and prefix delegation?

You didn't say who your ISP was, but the following works on Comcast in areas where they have rolled out IPv6. I had to use wide-dhcpv6-client since none of the other DHCPv6 clients could handle all of getting an address for the ISP-facing interface, prefix delegation, and Comcast's maximum /60 n...

bwDraco

2:32 PM

It's just easier and faster to manage for me.

Journeyman Geek

That's really similar to what I did

Basically my ISP hands me a set of IPs

which dnsmasq hands out inside my network

djsmiley2k

right, fair enough

Journeyman Geek

you were asking about that the other day lol

djsmiley2k

yah i just forgot the acronom

ffs

i need her to take the guineas away so i can cllean em out

The firewall issues can be set aside for the time being. I need to work on projects, like how @HornOKPlease gets things down.

A full-time job is not an excuse.

Journeyman Geek

lol

I'm running out of things to do on this ;p

bwDraco

The firewall is ultimately fail-secure.

(because SuSEfirewall2 is still running, with all ports closed, though this is deprecated)

@JourneymanGeek superuser.com/questions/1329155/templeos-sound-with-virtualbox --> the dude who made this died shortly after this question was asked/answered

So, here's the odd thing. What Evan's doing is entirely within the rules. Wasting your own time is literally fine, even if its an OS written by someone who... quite literally seems to be a little crazy . And here's the thing. Assuming good intent, and not arguing with Evan about whether this is a waste of his time, free or otherwise... is probably the most productive thing to do. I'm sure that if we engage constructively (or not at all), any issues we have will sort themselves out. — Journeyman Geek ♦ Jun 7 at 3:08
