@NathanOsman Why did you reboot? Did it crash? That's pretty impressive! Working on 2 years !

Nathan Osman

@AndroidDev it needs a patch.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman So you took it offline until you can patch it?

Nathan Osman

I am going to patch it very soon, but not yet.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman - But you do release that it has to be patched at both ends.

Nathan Osman

Client and server, yes. But upgrading my desktop is as easy as "apt-get upgrade -y" and reboot. The server, on the other hand, is running a lot of important processes.

It can't simply be rebooted at the snap of a finger.

@NathanOsman My Amazon EC2 webserver was getting daily obfuscated PHP PUSH events from Chinese, Mexican, Russian, and Indian IPs, so I just restricted by IP location with the MaxMind database.

Now they all return 403! :)

Nathan Osman

Yeah, there are plenty of attacks going around.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman I also told Apache to return the bare minimum info on the server, hide the version number on 404 pages, disable directory listing and I have also restricted SSH to a single IP and it requires a .pem file to connect. I'm still not done hardening though :)

Q: Brightness up/down keys don't work

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on an ASUS Z450LA laptop, that has Intel HD5500 integrated graphics. The brightness up/down keys (Fn+F5/F6) don't work; however, if I use my desktop environment to control the brightness, it works, however is annoying to not have the easy way to control brightness. When...

Android Dev

@AaronHall hi

Aaron Hall

Hey, I forked and cloned angband, then I did sh autogen.sh, then I did ./configure, then I did make, then I did make install, which failed, then I did sudo make install, which seemed to work, but when I we back to my home dir, typing angband gives me the ubuntu angband... :(

Rinzwind

aha

well ... I got some good news

Android Dev

@Rinzwind Which is?

Android Dev

@Rinzwind Total n00b alert: askubuntu.com/questions/812032/…

@Rinzwind Installing from something other than apt on an unsupported version.... <sigh>

IanC

@AaronHall, I'm not sure if I understood what you're asking, and I might be wrong on my assumption.. But I guess when you compile a program from source, that is already on ubuntu, when you type angbang the binary called will be the one on "/bin" (ubuntu's default), since it's the first folder on PATH with a match (or maybe it's hierarchical?)

Rinzwind

@IanC 1st comes 1st serves ;-)

IanC

@AaronHall So you need to find where the make install installed the new version of angband, which is probably "/usr/local/bin", and run it like ./usr/local/bin/angband

@Rinzwind Thanks, I wasn't sure about that! I'm mostly guessing here haha

Aaron Hall

I'm pretty sure the . means current directory, but yeah, I didn't check for if it installed somewhere else on the path.

is there a path diagnostic?

IanC

3:12 AM

my bad, no "."

just /usr/local/bin/angband

usually the default folder used on make install scripts is /usr/local

Android Dev

@Rinzwind Actually, I take that back. THIS is the n00biest question I've seen so far: askubuntu.com/questions/759551/…

Rinzwind

@AndroidDev dont make me find one :=D

Android Dev

@Rinzwind Please do! I want to see the noobiest question ever asked here :P

IanC

by the way @AaronHall, use checkinstall when you want to build from source and avoid future headaches

but I think the issue there is just the ubuntu's binary being found before the installed one on PATH, you could find the installed one and run it directly

Chan-Ho Suh

@NathanOsman a lot of the Trump humor I see around seems like a pale imitation of doonesbury :D

I know one of the US men's beach volleyball teams got upset pretty heavily by Austria

And le Clos was "blown out of the water" by Phelps :P

And USA men's indoor volleyball team got upset by Canada.

And then I didn't get to watch any more.

Hope I can catch a bunch this week

Are you going to bed soon?

Seth

Yes. 10 o'clock here. I might stay up to watch the SpaceX launch in half an hour, but I'm pretty tired so that might not happen. Only reason I'm still up is because it is still pretty hot here.

user227867

I see. That's because you're hot, LOL.

Well it was nice of you to stop by @JasperLoy. I hope you are doing well otherwise :)
