00:01.51unixman_homeis slow sometimes :D
00:01.52rrqwicd-curses
00:03.09unixman_homeOr wicd-cli. I forget about those as I rarely use them.

12:48.37DocScrutinizer05fsmithred: (picking up on that partitioning topic) gparted is lobotomized - when I select "repair" (OWTTE) it warns about "this will need a full scan of whole drive and may take very long". Then when you accept, the GUI freezes completely, incl "abort button" and all, while it reads and analyzes those 5 TB on my drive
12:49.08fsmithredyikes.
12:49.30fsmithredI didn't know there was a repair option in gparted.
12:51.20DocScrutinizer05neither. Just found it and thought to just try it for curiosity's sake
12:51.46fsmithredremember the cat
12:52.03DocScrutinizer05now without *any* sign of progress, this is up to anybody's guess on how long it really will take
12:52.19fsmithredmaybe until root kills it
12:53.46fsmithredif I scan ports on my external ip address, will I see port 53 open even though it's not accessible from outside the local network?
12:54.02DocScrutinizer05http://wstaw.org/m/2017/09/02/plasma-desktopnd2395.png
12:54.36DocScrutinizer05(53) hmm, how so?
12:54.53DocScrutinizer05scan from where?
12:55.24fsmithredI'm scanning from inside the local network
12:55.32fsmithredI'm behind two routers
12:55.56fsmithredand I'm scanning the external address on the router that's connected to the modem
12:55.58DocScrutinizer05that's giving moot results, unless you want to know if netstat is correct ;-)
12:56.17fsmithredusing nmap
12:56.20DocScrutinizer05routers usually do "hairpinning"
12:56.43fsmithredso I'm not really reading from outside?
12:56.58DocScrutinizer05your route will not get filtered the way any external access to public IP would
12:57.03DocScrutinizer05no
12:57.12fsmithredok, I was afraid of that
12:57.24DocScrutinizer05you generally can't run nmap against $local
12:57.53DocScrutinizer05if you want, I can run from external
12:58.14DocScrutinizer05PM your IP (and level of check you want)
12:58.16fsmithredyes, please,
12:58.42DocScrutinizer05actually, please PM the nmap cmdline

17:40.17AlexLikeRockhi
17:40.37bozoniusthis appeared about a day ago, and I was thinking it was just an "artifact" and would eventually go away.  But so far, not.

17:43.03bozoniusright.  I know THAT will work.  I'm just wondering how it got there and why it remains
17:43.19bozoniusbesides xkill, is there a simlar tool to simply identify it?

17:43.33bozonius(but it doesn't work for me)
17:43.59bozoniusistm there IS a tool that can identify a window in X
17:44.09bozoniussimilar to the way xkill works

17:44.16fsmithredI think I got that on the first login to the desktop, and I think my fix might have been to delete ~/.config/xfce4
17:44.30AlexLikeRockmaybe

17:46.34fsmithredthis persisted over reboot?
17:47.17bozoniusnah.  I just want to know WHO did this to my desktop, and then hunt them down and murder the #@$% !
17:47.33bozoniusis very punchy right this moment, for some reason

17:49.43bozoniusok, xprop -id on that window tells me it is "thunderbird" "alert"
17:50.20fsmithredt-bird is closer to the chopping block than xfce
17:50.47fsmithredit only crashes when I retrieve mail
17:50.56bozoniusyeah.  So it is thunderbird -- it is still running, but it has no main window running
17:51.05bozoniusfsmithred:  every time?
17:51.10bozoniusI've never had that
17:51.14fsmithredno, not every time
17:51.18bozoniuswhew
17:51.23fsmithredbut only on the imap account
17:51.39bozonius"the" imap account?
17:51.45bozoniusor "any"

17:53.33bozoniusah, that's it.
17:53.41bozoniusthat's been my problem my whole life I think.
17:54.22bozoniusok, so t-bird is still running but has somehow tucked away its main window.   Nice.
17:54.39fsmithredkill that dinosaur
17:55.22fsmithredI've noticed that sometimes when it crashes, the window goes away, but it's still running, so I can't restart it until I kill it.
17:57.26bozoniuswmctrl -l does not list any windows open by thunderbird, including the one I identified.   But the man pages for these X11 utils do tell us that they are not very accurate

17:58.13bozoniusI should.  And I did.
17:58.24bozoniusBut why...
17:58.36fsmithredwhy what?
17:58.40fsmithredwhy kill it?
17:58.55bozoniusnow, I did spend a good part of the day yesterday hunting down what seemed to be a mem leak in mozilla
17:59.16bozoniusI'm wondering if all that activity, and the leaks, might have left that artifact somehow.
17:59.22fsmithredmaybe
17:59.27fsmithredyou're using 45?
17:59.45bozoniusah, I was running old ff with new tbird
17:59.58fsmithredoh, I'm using newer ff with old tbird
18:00.07bozoniusfor some reason, as it turns out, a prior update only upgraded t-bird but not ff
18:00.57fsmithredI stopped doing upgrades a couple months ago, but I can't remember why
18:01.24bozoniusI updated again yesterday, and this time, apt did update ff.
18:01.51bozoniusI think it had something to do with having had the experimental and backports repos enabled. Not sure tho
18:02.44bozoniusto answer your question, as of yesterday's update, I am now running 52 of both
18:03.04bozonius(the exact levels vary by ff or tbird)
18:03.26bozoniuswell, at least the time drift is gone
18:04.31bozoniusthat trick did it (tinker panic 0 in ntp.conf)
18:04.49bozoniusand this morning, all my VMs are humming along nicely.
18:05.12bozoniusI prob should reboot my devuan VM tho, after all that testing and tinkering re the mem leak
18:05.37bozoniusnot that linux should be impacted by userland programs over the long run
18:05.51bozoniusrebooting...
18:06.51bozoniuscold boot (shutting VM down then restarting)
18:07.29bozoniusdevuan shuts down and boots VERY fast.
18:07.36bozoniuseven in a VM!
18:07.38bozonius:)
18:09.33fsmithredenigmail
18:09.39bozoniusnew problem (and I've been seeing this after reboots):   The VM (in full screen mode) comes up as a small window, less than the screen size, even though before shutdown, it was a screen-sized window
18:09.48fsmithrednow that I see it in the upgrades, I remember why I didn't
18:09.50bozonius(good one, i like it)
18:10.25bozoniuswhen I go into the display program, the resolution is not set
18:10.48bozoniusI can force it back to the size of the full screen, but why doesn't it preserve it across boots?
18:10.57fsmithredmine always come up small. I just grab the corner and make it bigger.
18:11.09fsmithredbut that only works with guest additions
18:11.50bozoniusbut I'm in full-screen mode, there's no "window" per se
18:11.57bozoniusit's the whole screen
18:12.05fsmithredoh, I never do that
18:12.16bozoniusI prefer it because I get to use the entire screen this way
18:12.28fsmithredyeah, I've had occasion to need that
18:12.28bozonius(which is why I paid $91 for my new monitor)
18:12.46fsmithredhow big?
18:12.48bozoniusOverstock, 1920x1080
18:13.08bozonius$91 (and I guess some extra, the usual), but got away with it all for under $100
18:13.10bozoniusAnd
18:13.12bozoniusget this:
18:13.13fsmithredanyway, I need to reboot for real now
18:13.17bozoniusoh
18:13.18bozoniusok
18:13.24fsmithredfinish whqat you're saying
18:13.28bozoniusthanks
18:13.50bozoniuswe have had occasional ant attacks here, well, one crawled under the screen of my new monitor!
18:14.10bozoniusI complained to Overstock about this, and said they'd look into it.
18:14.50bozoniuswhile I was waiting to hear from them, I got an ok for the return by email.  But a few days later, I found a new monitor by the front door
18:14.52fsmithredthey're gonna clean ants out of your monitor?
18:14.55bozonius!!!
18:14.55infobotin #devuan the exclamation mark ("!"), when put as first char in a line, is the infobot attention char (a shorthand for "infobot: ..." highlight). This is on special reqzest, in most other channels the bot uses tilde ("~") as attention char, and you'll find factoids referring to that like "also see ~<factoid>"
18:15.28bozoniusI mean, I had figured I'd have to box mine up and send it back before they would issue a new one
18:15.42bozoniusSo I installed the new monitor, sent back the original in the new carton
18:15.47fsmithredthat's nice
18:15.50fsmithredok brb
18:15.51bozoniusnow THAT's customer service!
18:15.54bozoniusok
18:16.51bozoniusgnarface:  Alls well this morning.  No more complaints on host or VMs about time sync crap.  And the upgrade of ff to 52 seems to have quit the mem leaks, mostly
18:17.25bozoniushowever, some leakage is still occuring, and I'll continue to monitor that.   The problem is almost definitely mozilla-only.  Not an issue for vbox at all as I see it.

18:49.25bozoniusAgain, unless there is a strict reason for using the repo Guest Additions ("GA"), I don't see any reason not to build these from the CD that comes with vbox
18:49.25fsmithredalthough that's more about second monitor than about display size
18:49.48bozoniusIch lerne Deutsch nun.
18:49.49fsmithredusb support?

18:53.34guru1/2 isnt bad
18:53.54fsmithredbozonius, I've only ever used the repo guest additions when I installed vbox from the repo. For virtualbox.org packages, I use their guest additions (or whatever it's called)
18:58.02bozoniusbut 1920x1080 is not supported apparently.  When I was using the CD and building GA myself, I had no issue.
18:58.38bozoniusI'd think Debian Jessie would support this mode -- it must be common.   I'm pretty sure my monitor is fairly "normal"

21:46.17fsmithredin my experience, if you're not seeing the optimal resolution for your monitor as a choice, either you need to specify the driver or the frequencies in xorg.conf
21:46.26fsmithredor in xorg.conf.d/
21:47.01fsmithredand finding the frequencies can be difficult sometimes
21:47.04bozonius2well, I fixed it by writing a script that is run when I login.   But this is a mode that is very common, I think.

21:48.40bozonius21920x1080 is a common maybe popular screen size (I think it is 4:3)
21:49.07fsmithredyeah, I've seen dell laptops with that resolution. And they weren't brand new.
21:49.11bozonius2googling this generates a number of hits for this resolution in vbox
21:49.14bozonius2right
21:49.23bozonius2this is a known issue
21:49.32bozonius2it has been fixed in other distros apparently
21:50.53*** join/#devuan AlexLikeRock (~AlexLikeR@unaffiliated/alexlikerock)
21:51.00bozonius2or I should say, in distros that require you to use THEIR repo package for guest GAs
21:52.07bozonius2if I use the CD-compiled version (as per Oracle's instructions) it works, because it can detect the local modes required.  The devuan packager has no idea what equipment a user might have.
21:52.09fsmithredwho does that?
21:52.18bozonius2well, devuan.
21:52.40bozonius2and mageia insists on it (I forget why, but they had some explanation)
21:53.08bozonius2and alpine provides it, probably because it is very hard to build the GAs from CD due to musl c
21:53.54fsmithredI always took the advice to use the guest additions that came from the same place I got vbox
21:53.59fsmithredmade sense
21:54.08bozonius2me too
21:54.26fsmithrednever tried to do otherwise, and in fact, presence of one can conflict with the other
21:54.33bozonius2but when I started running into various issues with my Devuan VM, we re-installed them from the repo.
21:54.44bozonius2oh
21:54.59bozonius2I get vbox host from a different place -- namely, oracle itself
21:55.19bozonius2I'm not hosting with devuan, but rather CentOS
21:55.20fsmithredyeah, if you switch from one to the other, make sure you get rid of it first
21:55.36buZzwhere should i open a issue to make a reminder to add brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin to the raspi1 image so it works on raspi zero-w aswell? :D
21:56.47bozonius2fsmithred:  That is not always possible.
21:57.00fsmithredto switch?
21:57.44bozonius2I get my host vbox software for CentOS from Oracle (I have a yum repo file set up for this), but it varies when it comes to guests
21:58.28bozonius2there is no requirement that host and guest software must come from the same place -- for one thing, Oracle does not host binaries for every one of the 1000 different distros
21:58.54fsmithredthey don't have to

22:00.19bozonius2when you say "virtualbox" do you mean the host package or do you mean the guest additions and/or guest drivers?
22:00.23fsmithredthe program that allows you to make and run a vm
22:00.28bozonius2ok, that's host
22:00.46bozonius2GA only run in the guest
22:00.53fsmithredyeah
22:01.57bozonius2if you don't do virtualization with products like vbox, it prob all sounds like Greek
22:02.15bozonius2and I sometimes forget not everyone is doing this, sorry

22:03.16bozonius2btw, I just created a new desktop icon for xfce terminal.  Copied the parameters from the ones in alacarte and it works correctly
22:03.35fsmithredcool
22:04.10DocScrutinizer051920x1080 is obviously 19:10
22:04.22bozonius2so... any ideas why devuan wants us to use THEIR guest packages?
22:04.42fsmithredbecause devuan doesn't have the manpower to change everything that debian does
22:04.54fsmithredI don't think we mess with vbox packages at all
22:04.59DocScrutinizer05and ofen seen used on 16:9 monitors
22:05.55bozonius2ok, let me restate the question
22:06.12fsmithredand I don't know any details about what the difference is between the debian packages and the oracle packages other than better usb support in oracle.
22:06.21bozonius2why debian wants us to use their GAs rather than building them on-the-fly with the source from the Virtual CD?
22:06.41fsmithreddoes that even work?
22:06.57bozonius2but if oRacle provides better usb support then why would we continue using debians?
22:07.09bozonius2work?  heck yeah.  I use it all over the place around here.
22:07.10fsmithredbecause it's completely open-source
22:07.57bozonius2how can debian or devuan's be completely open source if they are building the packages from oracle's source, unless oracle's is open source also?
22:08.30fsmithredI don't know the details on that, but there may be some licensing issues on some parts of it
22:08.31bozonius2I mean, I honestly don't know all the details about open sourcing
22:09.05bozonius2the only part of it that I know of that has licensing issues is the extensions, but that's on the host side anyway.  Not germane to the GAs

22:12.03bozonius2DocScrutinizer05: but 1920x1080 is a common resolution, isn't it?
22:12.18DocScrutinizer05it is
22:12.23rrqalso called HD
22:12.28DocScrutinizer05very common I'd say
22:13.07bozonius2well, whether it is 4:3 or not, maybe immaterial.  But it is popular and common and (per rrq) HD.  For me, that's enough reason it should be included

22:14.08bozonius2I don't really mind using distro-supplied packages for VM guests, but there are a couple of issues.  One is this situation, where something common is not included, and the other is when VBox comes out with an upgrade and the distro trails months behind in getting updated packages out the door.
22:14.30bozonius2that has created soem problems in the past due to incompatibilities, some very subtle but potent
