12:44 AM

I can help with basic Android questions since I am also using the ADT.

1:34 AM

adt? it works for me. it just requires configuration...

appears

@NathanOsman The app works well

w00t blender.stack in private beta

but the logo looks so outaplace in the holo iconset

BBL

1:50 AM

Any thoughts? Feel free to disagree, I just thought it needed to be said. meta.askubuntu.com/a/6758/5768

On an iPad the comments against articles run into the side bar so you cannot see all of the comment. Also the bottom strip that allows you to jump to top of page uses up valuable real estate and we have had the ability to scroll to top of page for more than 20 years, we dont need a button to do that — Meer Borg 11 hours ago

Not relavent?

This is just an ad lol

I don't do the design choices at OMGU

with great power comes the ability to generally disregard rules of the pirate council. they're more like guidelines really.

2:17 AM

Blender.SE is in private beta.

Now begins the hard work, now begins the quest to become another mod :P

(jk on the last part - not a quest - I actually want to help)

:(

I missed it.

Useless fact of the night: extended support for Windows Vista runs out on April 11, 2017.

lol

@NathanOsman :(

I will miss you :(

I'll be there for the public beta.

:)

Did you get a chance to try the 2buntu app yet?

2:30 AM

Not yet, but keep reminding me

Oh btw...

I can invite you!#

Wut? Yes, please!

I still have lots of time in the evening this week.

:)

Screw the play registration fee

It ain't cheap.

I don't think I've even sold enough copies of my app to recover the fee yet :P

At least it's a "pay once and never again" fee.

@RolandiXor: Thanks for the invite. I appreciate it.

@NathanOsman no prob!

1 hour later…

3:53 AM

@RolandiXor Why not just invite Nathan to the private beta.. You should be able to do that.

Just sayin.

@Seth I did...

OK :)

1 hour ago, by RolandiXor

I can invite you!#

I raised some flags if you're bored.

lol

3:55 AM

@RolandiXor oh, LOL. Totally missed that part of the convo XD

Got some gems in these flags lol

Yeah really.

Nice shiny windows... loi

Can someone submit this to Gems from stack exchange?

I don't think it ever got there, but it's awful funny.

LOOOOL

4:00 AM

IKR XDXD

That is one for the history books :P

4:31 AM

@Seth I think you know where I am going to suggest you send that... :)

@RolandiXor: I snagged user ID #75. Not a very low number, but one I can remember.

Here is my first question:

Q: How do I completely remove an image from my .blend file?

I'm creating a model for a 3D game that will eventually be exported using a custom Python script. This model makes heavy use of UV textures. However, the project now references a bunch of images that are not used by any objects in the project. Example: I don't want the first two, or the red_b...

image uv-texture

@NathanOsman Actually, I was just asking someone to do it ;-)

Hi @Chan-HoSuh :)

hey @Seth

What's up?

today was an Ubuntu install/configure day

Oh, I bet that was fun.

4:42 AM

sure ;-/

Depending on what graphics card you have...

it's an old machine.. pretty well supported by now

That's good :)

I was worried about the booting

I always have a pain with drivers and Unity..

4:42 AM

since it is a Mac/Ubuntu dual boot

I've heard Mac + Ubuntu is rather hard to do.. is that true?

It can be. It was a lot easier this time around. I did it once before. There are guys on the net that have it figured out mostly... I just follow their recipes :)

osrc.dfm.io/nathan-osman

"I would conclude that Nathan works best in the mid-afternoon."

Probably only took a few hours to wrangle with the "hybrid MBR" setup... the rest was realizing that i didn't have anything on a minimal install, including man pages!

@NathanOsman What's that?

4:46 AM

A "GitHub" scorecard.

@Chan-HoSuh That's nice :D

It just guesses a bunch of things based on my activity on GitHub.

wow, a C expert huh? :) I'm in admiration.

Someday I want to have a Surface Pro dual booting Win 8 and Ubuntu...

@NathanOsman Ah.. interesting.

How is the Surface doing? Sales good?

4:47 AM

@Chan-HoSuh Heh... it called John Resig "an awesome Javascripter".

I think so.

...so I wouldn't take its results too seriously.

@Chan-HoSuh 100 million licenses supposedly.

@NathanOsman Certainly not. It calls me a "top notch javascripter" Yeah right..

I'm... getting there.

You're doing fine.

I now need to get started :P

4:52 AM

@NathanOsman Well thanks anyway. I try.

@RolandiXor With..?

@RolandiXor ...on?

@Seth Javascript.

I am an on again, off again programmer.

javascript.start("learning");

lol

I know some bits here and there, but I rarely need to use it so I haven't ever put in too much effort.

But I know I need it.

@RolandiXor Yeah. For me it's all about finding somewhere to actually use the information. That helps me retain it ;)

4:55 AM

With C++, I got really good... but had no use case for it... so it's gotten really rusty for me.

Which is why I'm trying Windows 8 development.

Bootstrap has spoiled me ;)

2buntu needs a Windows 8 app... just sayin'...

I need a REAL reason to use Javascript.

@NathanOsman :O

sacrilege!

:D

Oh wait... I should have thought about that a bit more...

4:57 AM

I could write an Ubuntu Touch app :)

@NathanOsman Do you have an API?

That's like saying we need an Android app for Apple.SE :P

I started playing with QML a while back and liked it, so I could pick it back up.

@Seth On my website or 2buntu?

@NathanOsman LOL

4:58 AM

The answer to both is yes.

Or an easy way to access your data...

@NathanOsman 2buntu.

2buntu.com/api

Sweet.

Well I'm off to bed now.

I have one on my website too.

quickmediasolutions.com/api

It's a little bit more advanced - you'll need to register for an API key.

5:12 AM

Gnight all :)

Goodnight.

Q: What about EasyBCD?

I just edited the tag easybcd and after I found some questions like How to install EasyBCD? or Can't get bootloader to work using easyBCD. These questions have the answer in Windows. We know that EasyBCD is a software utility for Windows. Would it be appropriate to ask EasyBCD related questions ...

""The open-source Intel Linux graphics driver has hit a milestone of now being faster than Apple's own OpenGL stack on OS X. The Intel Linux driver on Ubuntu 13.04 is now clearly faster than Apple's internally-developed Intel OpenGL driver on OS X 10.8.3. when benchmarked from a 'Sandy Bridge' class Mac Mini. Only some months ago, Apple's GL driver was still trouncing the Intel Linux Mesa driver."

Q: Add territory to list of countries for paid ubuntu

the title is self explanatory. Please add Macau SAR of the PRC to your contributor´s version of ubuntu for pc. I know this is not the correct section to post, but because you make it nearly impossible to contact you otherwise, I hope someone there can help me help you... Best regards, RG

@StefanoPalazzo

Stefano Palazzo

9:38 AM

have we become stale and old already?

still very familiar ;)

Takkat has. We are fresh but not minty

Htorque is minty but not fresh

my age allows to be like that ;)

People chewing mint drops have a reason to do so.

9:56 AM

10:50 AM

@StefanoPalazzo Hey!

sure!

3:34 PM

is this question (askubuntu.com/questions/67312/…) the same as this (askubuntu.com/questions/278099/…) ?

the end result being requested is the same.

12.10 and older had a sys whitelist. 13.04 doesn't

we dont do version specific stuff unless its hardware related

maybe we should reconsider it.

it's getting messy.

haha

@Gui Not much..

Nice to see you :)

4:32 PM

@Seth cool, did you need something?

Nah, I didn't need anything. Ever got your graphics working?

@Seth I think I had to reinstall if I remember right

I have to go... off to the next project

Okay, see you later!

Q: Fedora 18 guest in VirtualBox 4.2: How to assign static IPv4 address to guest regardless of active ethernet interface on host

I have a Ubuntu 13.04 host running VirtualBox 4.2.12. This host has both a wired and a wireless network interface, but only one of which would usually be active at any given time.

@Seth I created a comment there

Yeah I saw that ;)

I don't know what is worse: if the question or the answer (? yeah, answer) linking the dupes

I know.. Technically it should have been a long comment.

Since it doesn't answer the question, just give links.
