Then it's a bad 10% :D

@Serg Internet pooped again, Ubuntu tends to reset my icons to a jumbled mess in no order, however Windows they always stay in the same place. ^ Yes, Ubuntu does reset my icons every time I restart or even logout/and in

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman yeah well.

I'm gonna be paying for this phone sorta out-of-pocket thanks to eBay.

and listed. now we wait...

David Cole - Grammar Police

Hm

@KazWolfe I've run into a problem

Was hoping you could help

Kaz Wolfe

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice is it that you don't have an iPhone and you want one?

because i can definitely help there.

Serg

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice As far as remembering icon positions , there is already solutions for that. I remember Jacob wrote as script for similar question. It has to be used jointly with "Orgainze by name" option in right click, though. There's no automatic way, really.

Kaz Wolfe

6:08 AM

maybe with other things too tho.

Serg

I thought there was more to it, David

David Cole - Grammar Police

#1: Uhm wait srsly @KazWolfe

Serg

so your only complain about unity automatically moving around desktop icons ?

David Cole - Grammar Police

I'm OCD.

So yes.

Also the grid isn't locked

even in "keep in columns"

edwinksl

@NathanOsman please update the cmake on your PPA :p askubuntu.com/questions/829310/how-to-upgrade-cmake-in-ubuntu

Kaz Wolfe

6:10 AM

gah!

David Cole - Grammar Police

Que?

Kaz Wolfe

> Estimated availability: Ships within 4 weeks

@NathanOsman wat is dis.

David Cole - Grammar Police

XD

Kaz Wolfe

i can't go 4 weeks without a phone!

edwinksl

it might take 4 weeks to sell your iphone anyway

use it in the meantime

Kaz Wolfe

6:11 AM

can't order new phone until old one sells

David Cole - Grammar Police

KAz

Kaz Wolfe

because screw you ebay, and all my money is tied up in bitcoin atm

edwinksl

gah

Kaz Wolfe

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice YES?

David Cole - Grammar Police

I need to get into my router VIA anyway possible. Default gate is 192.168.2.1, and like I said I can't hard-wire my way in, but I don't know the MAC address I'd need to get in.

Kaz Wolfe

6:12 AM

oh god.

what brand router?

David Cole - Grammar Police

lemme go check lmao I forgot

Kaz Wolfe

also what do you need to get in so badly

and why is a TTL cable not an option

David Cole - Grammar Police

Idk what that is first off, 2 idk where I'd get one

especially before my dad gets back

Kaz Wolfe

you can make your own TTL cable

I'm 99% sure your school electronics teacher has one you can borrow

David Cole - Grammar Police

We don't have an electronics teacher

Kaz Wolfe

6:16 AM

any sort of person who dabbles in robotics?

either way, again, why do you need access?

David Cole - Grammar Police

Not gonna say any specific reasons, but I swear on my 1400 rep it's nothing malicious

Kaz Wolfe

you want to disable your MAC firewall, huh?

well i have good news for you.

David Cole - Grammar Police

BTW it's a Rosewill 150M Wireless Lite-N Router

Kaz Wolfe

reset your router to factory settings.

David Cole - Grammar Police

No.

My dad would notice

Kaz Wolfe

6:18 AM

boom, magic access.

Then, you could try to Ethernet directly in and try to connect.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Nope

Serg

Let me guess, the router is in your dad's room ?

Yeah . . .been there

Kaz Wolfe

wifi-based MAC filtering (the kind used to block devices from connecting at all) is defeated by a plug.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Wait hold up

Kaz Wolfe

not sure about firmware access, but it's a possibility.

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:19 AM

I might have a cable...

Kaz Wolfe

if you can't connect to the wifi at all, it might help. If you can connect but can't go anywhere, it won't.

David Cole - Grammar Police

I'm connected

Kaz Wolfe

back when i had to deal with the parent scourge, i was the net admin so... yeah. total control

but they occasionally got in using credentials and accessed parental controls.

trusty FTDI cable fixed all of that right up.

David Cole - Grammar Police

7 mins ago, by Kaz Wolfe

you can make your own TTL cable

Hold on waht

Kaz Wolfe

i think you can actually

it's just data pins IIRC

or just buy one on amazon.

they're like $10 and super useful.

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:24 AM

Again, dad gets home in 4 days .-.

Kaz Wolfe

prime shipping.

David Cole - Grammar Police

2 days then

Kaz Wolfe

and a promise that this will never again work in the future lol

letsmakerobots.com/node/23728

David Cole - Grammar Police

And okay, I need a TTL on one end what's on the other?

Kaz Wolfe

USB --> TTL/FDTI

amazon.com/Armorview-PL2303HX-RS232-Module-Converter/dp/…

something like that --^

(though i think you should get a 3.3V version unless you want to fry things)

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:26 AM

oh wait

Kaz Wolfe

or, actually, that works, as you only need the data pins.

David Cole - Grammar Police

I can jailbreak my phone

duh

nvm ^v^

Kaz Wolfe

you... didn't think of a hotspot?

I think we told you about that one already... like, a lot.

David Cole - Grammar Police

=.=

It's not that

Kaz Wolfe

also you have a phone running iOS 9.3.3 or less?

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:27 AM

My dad thought of that

He turned off my data LMFAO

Kaz Wolfe

jailbreak wont help then bro

David Cole - Grammar Police

Yepp

Kaz Wolfe

data is turned off at carrier level unless he does parental control on the phone itself, which i doubt

David Cole - Grammar Police

I can spoof the MAC to a whitelisted address >:D

I just need wifi on my phone lmao

Kaz Wolfe

DON'T

iPhones have been known to break with spoofed MAC addresses

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:29 AM

Hm

Kaz Wolfe

reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/3qgol9/…

David Cole - Grammar Police

I wonder if I can share a connection from my computer to my phone?

Kaz Wolfe

er... sorta?

you need to be JB'd, but yeah, you can reverse-tether

David Cole - Grammar Police

YUS

Kaz Wolfe

i still really want to see David vs a Circle.

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:30 AM

XD

Kaz Wolfe

hell, i'd fly out to wherever to watch that irl.

David Cole - Grammar Police

iTunes wants me to restart before jailbreak.. brb

Kaz Wolfe

what iOS version you on?

Serg

31k !

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl For which release?

Kaz Wolfe

6:35 AM

naaaaathaaaaaaannnnnnn

Nathan Osman

Wuuuuuuuuut.

Kaz Wolfe

why does oneplus take four weeks

edwinksl

@NathanOsman latest stable version is 3.6.2

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl Sorry, I meant which Ubuntu release :D

Serg

so many scripts to write, so little time

but probably enough for one day

Nathan Osman

6:35 AM

@KazWolfe Mine took a couple weeks.

They are probably low on stock.

Kaz Wolfe

gah

edwinksl

@NathanOsman i think OP is using 16.04

Serg

nah, i think it's the US customs

mine took quite a while too

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl Ah, okay.

I can try tomorrow to update it.

@KazWolfe Yup, checked my records. Exactly two weeks for mine.

edwinksl

somehow cmake for 14.04 is more updated than the one for 16.04 in your ppa. that is discrimination

Nathan Osman

6:37 AM

Although it took 15 days thanks to UPS messing up delivery.

David Cole - Grammar Police

What else would UPS do?

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl Are you sure? I thought the 14.04 version was way out-of-date.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Get a delivery date correct?

Kaz Wolfe

is the warranty a good idea @NathanOsman?

Nathan Osman

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice Well, statistically speaking, they must get it right at least once in a while.

edwinksl

6:38 AM

cmake 3.4.1-2~ubuntu16.04.1~ppa1 (Newer version available) Nathan Osman (2016-02-10)
cmake 3.5.2-1ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 Nathan Osman (2016-06-04)

Nathan Osman

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

David Cole - Grammar Police

true

Kaz Wolfe

so @DavidCole-GrammarPolice, what iOS you running?

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl 3.5.2! I don't remember uploading that!

David Cole - Grammar Police

About to be running 8.0

edwinksl

6:39 AM

@NathanOsman uh oh you got hacked?!??!?!

Nathan Osman

Oh wait.

That's the failed build.

I think that might have been the one that didn't work.

edwinksl

yeah this part about LP confuses me to no end

Nathan Osman

Okay, sorry - yeah, that's the one that failed.

edwinksl

not the first time i got tricked :p

anyway, once you do update your PPA, ez rep

6:41 AM

Alright, it should show the old version now.

WUT. Now it doesn't show anything for Trusty.

LAUNCHPAD!

edwinksl

it disappeared altogether

lol

Kaz Wolfe

now you see why i dont use launchpad lol

Nathan Osman

Stupid Launchpad.

edwinksl

you can probably ditch 15.10 though :p

Nathan Osman

Imma hafta re-upload that one now. And with a new revision now. ಠ_ಠ

edwinksl

6:44 AM

and free up some space

Nathan Osman

I'm not really short of space.

answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/402254

We'll see where that goes.

In the meantime, I've dispatched a build for 3.5.2 on Xenial.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Nathan Osman

And with that, goodnight all.

David Cole - Grammar Police

hehehe

"Upgrading" to ios 8 as we speak

Kaz Wolfe

reddit.com/r/reallifedoodles

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice how are you downgrading?!

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:48 AM

Easily.

Kaz Wolfe

ios 8 isn't signed...

David Cole - Grammar Police

Ctrl + Shift + Check For Update/Update lets you choose a file, and I have a backup :P

Kaz Wolfe

er...

that doesn't restore IOS 8

David Cole - Grammar Police

Yes it will

Kaz Wolfe

pretty sure at least.

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:49 AM

It's not what you think

Kaz Wolfe

If it's a backup, the actual OS isn't stored in the backup data.

David Cole - Grammar Police

it's an ipsw file

Kaz Wolfe

You need an IPSW with iOS 8, and even so, it's not signed, so you can't actually execute a downgrade unless you have an APTicket and SHSH blobs.

David Cole - Grammar Police

That's what you'd think, right?

Kaz Wolfe

yeah, that's what 4+ years in jailbreaking have told me.

there should be no conceivable way to downgrade without those things.

David Cole - Grammar Police

6:50 AM

kk we'll see

Kaz Wolfe

unless you're using Odysseus? You'd still need APTickets...

actually nevermind, keys were apparently leaked for iOS 8.4.1. What version are you restoring to @DavidCole-GrammarPolice?

David Cole - Grammar Police

One sec

researching

edwinksl

@Zanna one hell of a /etc/default/grub

Zanna

@edwinksl wtf happened there?

edwinksl

OP probably went to town with sudo and did cp or mv on random things

Zanna

6:55 AM

heh yeah...

I don't think the dupe suggestion makes sense though

edwinksl

i think techraf is saying the solution does

grey area... i don't think it is a dupe either

Zanna

"lazy dupe" right?

woah quiet day, not many new Qs... did i miss anything good?

edwinksl

heh, not sure what that "lazy dupe" means, but i think dupe should be defined by question, not answer

Kaz Wolfe

keep me posted on this @DavidCole-GrammarPolice. I'll be amazed if you can pull off a restore

David Cole - Grammar Police

Working on tricking iTunes into thinking a signed key for 10 is for 8

Zanna

6:59 AM

@edwinksl oh Zacharee mentioned it, he said it was when the answer works so you dupe it even though it's a completely different question

edwinksl

ah ok

i mean, reinstalling ubuntu is almost certainly a solution to these problems

if i write that as an answer to some question, does it make that question the mother of dupe targets

Zanna

haha yeah I guess

Kaz Wolfe

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice er... good luck m8

i don't think that's gonna be possible. a lot of really smart people have tried and failed.

it's hard to forge an RSA signature

edwinksl

@Zanna you missed out on this askubuntu.com/questions/829297/…

Zanna

I just spam flagged this askubuntu.com/review/late-answers/621672

Kaz Wolfe

7:02 AM

actually i can give some more detail on this if you want, @DavidCole-GrammarPolice. I've actually studied this :D

Zanna

@edwinksl oh yeah, could have done that one :)

edwinksl

i got to make a meaningful suggestion to god heemayl

i call that a win

Zanna

@edwinksl applauds :)

have some meaningless comment upvotes

Kaz Wolfe

@Zanna they're not meaningless

askubuntu.com/help/badges/54/pundit

edwinksl

i guess they help with getting the incredibly awesome pundit badge

Zanna

7:08 AM

@KazWolfe yeah but @edwinksl got all the comment badges :)

@edwinksl I can see some of my +5 comments are ridiculous - there was one that just says "it seems to be telling you the answer" where the error message said what to do and OP hadn't tried to do it

edwinksl

@Zanna that is a good comment imo... too many people don't read things right in front of them

Zanna

I believe the one about the space bar went down well too

Better see my latest answer for very easy edit :) — Tummala Dhanvi May 18 '15 at 6:28

Hope my answer (in the last) is the easiest one you can use :) — Tummala Dhanvi May 18 '15 at 6:32

@Oli I think this is the easiest answer hope you agree :) — Tummala Dhanvi Apr 8 '15 at 11:44

Kaz Wolfe

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice You've suffered enough. What you're doing isn't possible.

David Cole - Grammar Police

GAHHHH

I WILL GET THIS

>:CCCCCCCC

Kaz Wolfe

No you won't.

Trust me on this one.

iOS signature enforcement is very strict

It's not even done in iTunes, it's on the device.

David Cole - Grammar Police

7:14 AM

I'm braindead from all the troubleshooting I've been doing

Kaz Wolfe

Essentially you have the image hash + device id + other data all hashed up and then signed with apple's private key

they stop signing these things when an iOS signing window dies.

There's no way to bypass this signature enforcement without stealing Apple's private RSA key.

and they fixed the SHSH replay attacks by having a single-use nonce bundled into the new thing, called an APTicket.

David Cole - Grammar Police

stop

words hurt

If I see one more damn acronym I'll kms

;)

Kaz Wolfe

I think this check and enforcement happens in the LLB, which is burned into the chip itself so we can't fix it.

David Cole - Grammar Police

do you think I could move the display from one iphone to another?

Kaz Wolfe

(Actually, there may be a way to update the key, but it would require that iBoot provide a mechanism for this, and it would also require driver signing)

what do you mean?

David Cole - Grammar Police

7:18 AM

I have an old Sprint phone, which is not able to be used with my SIM because of Sprint being dumb, but the screen is less cracked than my real phone

could I move the LCD?

Kaz Wolfe

you could, i guess

David Cole - Grammar Police

:o

Kaz Wolfe

well, are they the same model?

David Cole - Grammar Police
