| 00:10 | cbxbiker61 | it really pisses me off that network adapter vendors get away with changing to other chip suppliers without even changing model numbers on their products |
| 00:11 | cbxbiker61 | i bought a usb network adapter that should have had atheros 9k in it, and now it has realtek |
| 04:21 | arch1mede | f3lbat0l |
| 05:38 | arch1mede | anyone know of a iptables rules check? To make sure I dont have my accepts in the wrong place...i thinbk i have them in the right place but when i DROP whole subnets I still see them in my logs |
| 05:47 | cbxbiker61 | arch1mede, is this 3.10.x kernel? or more recent, if more recent you may want to use nftables, since the rules can be configured in a much more understandable form |
| 05:48 | arch1mede | cbxbiker61: yeah, its yours actually :) 3.10.40 |
| 05:48 | cbxbiker61 | i'm currently transitioning to nftables on my newer kernels, but i have to use iptables for the older kernels |
| 05:48 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, it's kinda hard to test the rules with iptables |
| 05:49 | cbxbiker61 | maybe throw some -j LOG entries in |
| 05:49 | arch1mede | well i can see the count but i have psad installed as well and i can see the ip's that i have blocked still show up and i am not sure if that is normal or not |
| 05:50 | cbxbiker61 | it's a good idea to make log targets for your drop rules so you know absolutely whats being dropped |
| 05:50 | arch1mede | ahh ok |
| 05:51 | cbxbiker61 | some networking tools put the adapter in promiscuos mode and may see the dropped packets |
| 05:51 | arch1mede | so its the same command but with -j LOG instead? |
| 05:51 | cbxbiker61 | mispelled prom.. |
| 05:51 | cbxbiker61 | hang on |
| 05:52 | cbxbiker61 | ip6tables -t filter -N DROPSI |
| 05:52 | cbxbiker61 | ip6tables -t filter -A DROPSI -m limit --limit 2/min -j LOG --log-prefix "ip6tables input shit dropped: " --log-level 7 |
| 05:52 | cbxbiker61 | ip6tables -t filter -A DROPSI -j DROP |
| 05:52 | cbxbiker61 | that creates a DROPSI target that logs and then drops |
| 05:52 | arch1mede | ohh |
| 05:53 | arch1mede | i will add that |
| 05:53 | arch1mede | thanks :) |
| 05:53 | cbxbiker61 | nftables allows doing joining to two targets so it can log and drop without making a special target |
| 05:54 | arch1mede | is nftables a replacement or like a front end? backend? |
| 05:55 | cbxbiker61 | it's a replacement that is still relatively new, but it looks very good syntactically |
| 05:55 | cbxbiker61 | using ipset with iptables is also a very powerful option for handling multiple subnets/hosts |
| 05:57 | arch1mede | yeah i am using the dshield list for dropping whole ip subnets...specifically china |
| 05:58 | arch1mede | rather long list |
| 05:58 | cbxbiker61 | if it's using ipset it still efficient |
| 07:07 | dab_ | Any news on the FEC and UDP patches from anyone? |
| 07:16 | jnettlet | dab_, nothing yet. trying to sort out some of other bugs right now. |
| 07:20 | dab_ | is rmk still working on it, or is it you? |
| 07:22 | dab_ | and let me know if there is anything I can test for you |
| 07:32 | jnettlet | dab_, a little bit of both. FSL just released a new kernel as well. I still have to go through their patches and see if they have done anything different. |
| 09:59 | suihkulokki | dove cubox booted fine 3.15-rc5 and mvebu |
| 10:00 | suihkulokki | however this patch was still needed: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/19/560 |
| 10:29 | schribl | Has somebody tested the wifi of the CuBox-i regarding the required signal strength? Yesterday I tried something and got it working but depending on the environment it was either really slow or no connection could be made. However, other wifi devices achieve stable and fast connections. |
| 11:04 | jnettlet | schribl, I am working on the wifi performance right now. |
| 11:10 | schribl | jnettlet: What is your experience with the wifi performance? I know it is very dependent on the environment. And what are you doing to improve it? |
| 12:00 | cbxbiker61 | shribl, first think disable wifi power management, most often it does not work well |
| 12:02 | cbxbiker61 | i'm figuring out how to get a 300MBit rtl8192cu usb wifi working properly with 3.10 |
| 12:02 | cbxbiker61 | the standard driver hangs, and the driver from realtek is a pain in the ass to get compile on 3.10 |
| 12:03 | cbxbiker61 | i disabled the proc code and that compiled a working version that would hang periodically |
| 12:04 | cbxbiker61 | then i hard code disabled the wifi power management and it has worked ever since, knock on wood |
| 12:06 | cbxbiker61 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1NV1E61596&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-Branding-_-na-_-na&AID=10440554&PID=4897915 |
| 12:06 | cbxbiker61 | that's probably the easiest good speed without hassle on linux |
| 12:09 | dz0ny | cbxbiker61: https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu |
| 12:10 | cbxbiker61 | ok so that's patched up realtek code then, that's good |
| 12:12 | schribl | dz0ny: for another machine I tried this and several other rtl8192cu solutions but did not get it to work recently. Also I did not tried it to hard as near that machine a WLAN-LAN bridge is located |
| 12:12 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, the internal adaptor seems fine for light duty, but for 25G media files the higher bandwidth is necessary |
| 12:13 | cbxbiker61 | schribl if you still have the rtl8192cu adaptors, you could install my kernel and give it a go |
| 12:13 | dz0ny | +1 I have tl-wn722n and it performs great |
| 12:14 | dz0ny | i can even create AP for 4 clients(or) more |
| 12:14 | cbxbiker61 | dz0ny, that's what i have |
| 12:14 | dz0ny | and it still works flawlessly |
| 12:15 | cbxbiker61 | dz0dy, yeah i'll pull your code...even though i can't think of a reason why i really need the proc code |
| 12:16 | cbxbiker61 | schribl, make sure you blacklist the rtl8192cu driver so the 8192cu driver gets used |
| 12:17 | schribl | dz0ny: The machine has Kubuntu 14.04 with Kernel 3.13. When I am near that machine I will rerun a test with your git repo |
| 12:17 | schribl | cbxbiker61: yeah, it is blacklisted and I checked lsmod for the right modules |
| 12:17 | schribl | the device is an tl-wn8200dn |
| 12:19 | cbxbiker61 | i think i'll get 2-3 of those cheap ath9k usb adaptors, 150MBit would be fine for a lot of stuff |
| 14:29 | cbxbiker61 | schribl , just looked at you rtl8192 repo, pretty much the same as what i have, although i just commented out the missing proc code |
| 14:30 | cbxbiker61 | unfortunately after more testing...my connection is still dying with large transfers |
| 14:33 | cbxbiker61 | i'm testing that 8192cu driver with an edimax 150MBit adapter now, we'll see how that goes |
| 14:33 | cbxbiker61 | the edimax has been quite reliable with an r-pi using the standard driver |
| 14:35 | schribl | cbxbiker61: its the repo from dz0ny ;) |
| 14:36 | cbxbiker61 | that's right! |
| 16:07 | vankooch | hi |
| 16:52 | schribl | dz0ny, cbxbiker61: hi, i am home now and just installed the repo from dz0ny for my tl-wn8200nd. And when trying with the graphical KDE tool it works and always asks for the passphrase after a given time. Using iwlist the association fails |
| 16:54 | schribl | I mean using wpa_supplicant |
| 18:38 | Peio | anyone who uses openelec or geexbox ? |
| 18:44 | ToFi | i tried both... openelec was smoother than geexbox on i4pro |
| 18:47 | Peio | ok |
| 18:47 | Peio | I'm looking at smaller cuboxes |
| 18:48 | Peio | trying to find someone who has tried high bitrate 720p/1080p x264 videos on it |
| 19:10 | Coolgeek | Peio: which profile of x264 ? |
| 19:11 | Coolgeek | because there is some profile that don't work well with any ARM board... |
| 19:33 | Peio | not 10bit or anything Coolgeek |
| 19:34 | Peio | does mediainfo show the profile ? |
| 19:34 | Peio | i'm not sure tbh |
| 19:34 | Peio | [email protected] I think mostly |
| 19:39 | Peio | are there still issues with the power supplies that solidrun provides ? i've read a post about it |
| 19:53 | cbxbiker61 | schribl, i use NetworkManager which runs the wpa_supplicant automatically, wpa_supplicant will fail first trying to use nl80211, then it uses a different mode |
| 19:54 | cbxbiker61 | i think with NetworkManager, it is smart enough to try different modes until it works |
| 21:16 | rabeeh | Peio: what power supply issues? |
| 21:16 | rabeeh | there are few issues about usb hard drives |
| 21:38 | Peio | let me find the post |
| 21:39 | Peio | http://openelec.tv/forum/144-usage/70588-1080p-video-glitch |
| 21:41 | Peio | also rabeeh, do you know what kind of plug the european power supply has ? is it a uk plug ? |
| 21:41 | Peio | it says "eu" but there are lots of plugs in the eu |
| 21:45 | rabeeh | eu; not uk |
| 21:48 | Peio | so for france I wouldn't need an adapter ? |
| 21:48 | Peio | i'm not sure if other countries have different plugs |
| 21:55 | Peio | apparently yes it's compatible |
| 22:03 | dxtr | Peio: The europlug is compatible with all outlets in europe except for UK and Ireland |
| 22:03 | dxtr | If I'm not mistaken |
| 22:03 | dxtr | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug |
| 22:03 | Peio | yep looks like it |
| 22:03 | dxtr | "It was designed such that it can safely be used in the domestic power sockets of most European countries, except for the BS 1363 system found in Cyprus, Gibraltar, Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom" |
| 22:03 | dxtr | Yeah |
| 22:03 | dxtr | I was almost right |
| 22:04 | Peio | yeah I checked a few european country plugs on google image and they all look similar |
| 22:04 | Peio | I didn't know since i've mostly been to the uk :p |
| 22:06 | Peio | now if only I could find someone with a cubox and openelec to test some files for me :p |
| 22:06 | dxtr | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUu1anFXjUc <- this looks safe, though |
| 22:06 | dxtr | :p |
| 22:07 | dxtr | What could go wrong? |
| 22:08 | Peio | :D |
