@JourneymanGeek Re: Discussion last night. Had an overkill psu, because I have underdone it and wrecked things (but I haven't built a "real computer" in a while), so I will tone it down.. that will help reduce price too. I chose a PCIe wireless, because I didn't want a USB one. Will do again with the RAM doubled as well

Journeyman Geek

1:53 AM

@NoTime The built in one is pci-e, assuming it has one.

and I seem to have seen it as a pci ethernet card

(too lazy to check back)

@JourneymanGeek I wasn't assuming it had a wireless built in :) I thought wireless. but I thought I grabbed a PCI-enhanced, as I tried getting both a wireless, and a regular nic and it gave me an error (only one PCIe slot)

since it's a small mobo

Journeyman Geek

You'd be surprised.

Could you link that again please?

yeah pcpartpicker.com/p/9jry8d

Xubuntu : Desktop (icons) clipping under xfce4-panel

user image

Is it Bug or How to fix it?

This issue occurs sometimes/randomly login (not every time) and also if I log-out and login back then not happens sometimes

That sounds like a bug, especially considering that it's inconsistent behavior: it wasn't likely designed to come and go like that. Especially if it's new with Utopic, I'd suggest reporting it. (There may still be a workaround though.)

It shouldn't be happening. Is the file manager handling the desktop?

7:32 AM

Does xfdesktop manage the desktop in Xubuntu instead of thunar these days? (I used to use Xubuntu often but I don't anymore.) I think that's the case for Xfce in general but I don't know anything about any recent Xubuntu particulars.

Xubuntu hasn't changed too much these days. Apart from the default pink colour for UU-14.10.

While we're waiting for our sporting friend, how did you enable the Smoke Detector thingie? Is there an RSS somewhere?

Though we get very little spam on U&L for some reason, I thought it might be worth checking out.

2:33 PM

It runs off of this: github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector

I know, but the instructions seem to be how to install it locally. Do I need to do that on a server I control, create an RSS feed from there and then link that to the chat room?

Ah, no. Fork, edit it like this: github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/commit/… then create a PR.

(Ignore my changes at the bottom)

Create a dictionary in the specialrooms array that has a sites array key containing the sites you want it to post to.

Ah, I think I see. Thanks.

Then add a room key with the room id.

Then a key for unwanted reasons containing things you don't want it to post.

Q: How to use the rtcwake command

I would like to get my rtcwake command to wake my computer from sleep at 06:00 the following day. Here is the command I'm using: rtcwake -m mem -u -t $(date +\%s -d "tomorrow 06:00") So far it isn't waking. Any ideas?

@basketball That can be fixed by the way. Follow the instructions here: askubuntu.com/help/reset-password

@basketball note that not even Seth could confirm if its your question - have you considered trying a password reset as terdon suggested just now?

(BTW @terdon you ninja'd me :P)

:)

Sorry, was in another tab.

@basketball also, that comment is pretty useless. What we need is the exact cron line and which crontab it has been added to.

3:16 PM

0 0 * 1,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,12 0,1,2,3,4 /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -u -t $(date +\%s -d "tomorrow 06:00")

@basketball Umm. That will attempt to run the command only on certain days of the month. What do you actually want to achieve here?

Make that only on certain months actually.

4:02 PM

@terdon i know

monday through thursday

and not june or july

@basketball No, those are months, not days. You are running it every day but on specific months.

Ah! Sorry, there's a space there.

OK.

so what can i do?

So, whose user's crontab is that? Your regular user won't have the right to run that.

Hmm. OK, that should open root's crontab.

@basketball You should then. The quote I pasted was from the manpage of rtcwake. It seems to suggest that using -m mem does not always work. Try one of the other modes.

4:33 PM

@EliahKagan Thanks about that.

if you hadn't heard about it at all, i barely heard about it from phoronix

@Mateo - love your comment on the star wall - "xorg edgers ppa. there be unicorns here, but there also be dragons. and you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup"

haha, yeah

you usually see things like this on the site a lot: askubuntu.com/a/11987/47291

"It's magic, it will fix everything!"

type of stuff

6:13 PM

Yeah, most of the time people that say "just use xorg edgers" are either REALLY smart and can fix their own problems - and geek out to fixing their own stuff... or really not as smart and just pray something works.

That said, I do sometimes recommend using the wine edgers and kernel edgers ppas.

so, the borderlands 2 thridperson is a cheat enging only thing, the first one had the configuration file changes...

haven't played borderlands at all.

did find a similar cheat program, that uses scanmem called "game conqueror" but it dosn't use the script...

is this windows only?

scanmem and game conqueror are in the repository

6:19 PM

i meant borderlands...

Borderlands 2 is fun/quirky so far, if you like first person shooting.

@hbdgaf just got released for linux

@Mateo cool, i saw a couple of gameplay videos.

are you trying to get third person working again or something?

yep

so the current method is just for cheat engine

which only works wine/windows

almost wondering if a question here or on gaming would go over well

I found cheat-engine, where is your config for re-enabling third person?

nexusmods.com/borderlands2/mods/4/…

might be able to see what they are doing and translate it to manually add things in with game conqueror

6:26 PM

I'm looking a little. It's in my possibly interesting queue

And now for the daily dose of funny:

user image

@Mateo I have to look at how game-conqueror works. Reading that config file, it looks like it has some assembly blobs. I don't know if they're search terms or a blob to insert somewhere in memory at this point.

yeah, not sure either. so it might not be capable to insert a block of code

if it does insert a code-blob, you could do it with ptrace and jugaad.

Do u think this solves problem with readonly files in samba share?

It doesn't solve it, but it does go around it to come out the other side with functional filesystem sharing.

hmm

I'm predisposed to sshfs solutions, because they work for everything linux, mac, unix, windows; vbox, vmware, docker, lxc. If it works everywhere, why use anything else?

I use SSH in IDE but I like Samba for fast browsing

To the smoke-check bot?

I tried a network installation for ubuntu. I chose the archive path for network installation as, us.archive.ubuntu.com, but it seems to not work.

Is there something am doing wrong?

@Ramesh "it seems to not work." What does happen? Is there an error message?

Probably a network latency or driver issue. netinstall minimal images a la debian always provided that problem for me.

7:15 PM

@EliahKagan I get an error message as,

The specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid release file on it. Please try a different mirror.

Well, I tried UK mirror and still got the same error message.

Well, I tried UK mirror and still got the same error message.

@hbdgaf Not the way it currently works. It currently gets data from this page stackexchange.com/questions?tab=realtime so it only sees titles. We could get bodies and such from the API, but so far that is too many API calls. We could edit the source to track if somelike like "mergelist" was in the title but I don't think the people asking these questions usually but that kind of info in titles :/

@Ramesh What's the exact path you used? There should also be a version mentioned somewhere right?

@terdon, I am trying to add a guest addition in KVM. In KVM, I chose the Ubuntu network boot path as,

ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64

@Seth this is true

@Ramesh You sure you want to use lucid?

7:18 PM

After that, the installation seemed to start and it asked for keyboard layout and stuffs. After these steps, it asks me to choose a mirror which is where I get this mirror issue.

That is incredibly old.

Is http://ftp... correct? Shouldn't that be ftp://?

@Seth Just trying to learn kvm setup.

So OS version doesn't really matter :)

ok :)

@Ramesh Do you (on the system where you're installing and getting that error) connect through a proxy?

7:19 PM

@terdon well, the path seem to exist. If I type in the browser, it shows up.

@terdon mm, you are probably right. However, that doesn't seem to be the problem.

@EliahKagan Do you mean in the host machine? I do not use a proxy for my host.

However, to make kvm work in a wireless interface, I use a proxy :)

This is how I made it to work :)

@Seth, is it possible that Ubuntu might have stopped support for lucid and which is why the mirror is not available?

wait, what mirror are you using again?

Now that you mention it, I bet that is the problem.

@Seth thanks

@ThomasW. hmm? Top speed.

@xiaodongjie define "speed"

network sped.

7:30 PM

and define "top speed" in terms of your use case - via LAN? Via remote connections to an offsite system?

over the internet?

btw @ThomasW. launchpad.net/~sethj/+archive/ubuntu/silentcast I managed it \o/

over the internet.

if over the internet, your "top speed" isn't going to be based on the VNC program you use.

user image

it's going to be based on the network traffic on the pipe on both ends, the equipment you have, any firewall rules and routing and network filtering, rate limiting, etc.

7:31 PM

Any time I hear Thomas say "define X" I'm waiting for napalm

at which point the actual VNC program you DO use isn't really relevant anymore.

@Seth imma run Lintian on it in strict mode and point out your fails now >:)

pacificosoftware.co.uk/ScrapeService

@Seth nice work though. we need some substitute for byzanz or whatever it was in active current repo.

I'm very happy, I created my first site.

@seth be wary of having the same source version... you can run into issues if the dependencies change in one variant of Ubuntu versus another

@seth then you can't have the identical version strings. in nginx, we do this by adding +release# to it, where release is trusty, etc.

but that's a minor thing :)

I want to know that if I can ask elementary os questions here since it is based on ubuntu. If yes then my wifi is not working, my system is updated and I just installed it this afternoon. If no then please comment and I'll remove this. Thanx :)

No.

@Seth if there are other PPA dependencies for the program, then you may want to consider copying the specific packages from those other PPAs into yours (get permission first!), so that they don't have to add additional sources.

@NathanOsman it just got migrated, so it's a positive step

7:40 PM

(we did this for the nginx PPAs, we added the backported dependency into the PPA itself for Precise)

@ThomasW. It's an add on for a thing I'm playing with

eheheheheheh. still... class Destruction:

sounds like something I'd create for the end of everything xD

Yeah. I appreciate sense of humor when I'm reading code.

@ThomasW. haha. Let me know if you find anything important.

oh, I see you did find some stuff.

@hbdgaf This should do that :)

@ThomasW. hm, that is a good idea. I will look into that.

@Seth I took a look at what you were working on. And yes, I don't plan on abandoning the backup thing. I'm not aware of something that does what I want... so it only makes sense to build it.

7:49 PM

@Seth downside is if you're using bzr for managing you'll have to make source tarballs to upload individually, or use a packaging recipe, but meh

I need to start storing it in a db instead of a nested list. Walking it every time is sub-optimal when I start adding features.

@Seth The Lintian output

bad form to have executables without manpages.

yep, already saw all that. I don't have time to write manpages right now, but it is something I plan on doing.

@ThomasW. that is a pretty big downside :/

@Seth yeah, but meh. I just copy the folders for the code multiple times, make different changelog entries and build before uploading. I still use the old debuild -S stuff.

@ThomasW. hm. Is there a way to do this without building for each dist? There isn't any difference in the packages so I was just using the "Copy packages" to send it to precise.

7:55 PM

recipes are skeksi... and they're free rep on launchpad when you touch something. just saying...

@Seth that will work fine so long as you don't have differing dependencies.

@Seth turns out trusty has ftp mirror available.

@Seth as long as ALL the dependencies in all copied releases will satisfy it all, you don't have to manually build

@Ramesh so it was because net-install doesn't refer to server images i suppose.

@hbdgaf I also suspect the same.

7:56 PM

@ThomasW. ok cool. They don't have different dependencies, although Precise needs ffmpeg >=0.10, but with that ffmpeg PPA it is satisfied in all supported dists.

@Ramesh Glad you got it working :)

But it is weird given the virt-tools page suggest installing something over network as described here.

@Seth I'd suggest copying the PPA's ffmpeg and such over to your PPA if you can, rather than force others to add additional PPAs. Makes it easier to manage the dependency installs that way, as the PPA provides them

@ThomasW. Yes, that would really help. I will definitely look into that.

@Seth big Lintian "E" issue though - lintian.debian.org/tags/…

E: silentcast: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version depends: bash

@ThomasW. You really think he should set a version on bash while it's busy getting tagged every day at this point?

7:59 PM

@hbdgaf no, but Lintian does :P

bash>=0.1 :P

yeah, I didn't think that was a big deal. Unless you're using something terribly old it should all work fine. I only support back to 12.04 anyway.

@ThomasW. That is an option.

@Seth is this going to be pre-precise at all?

or just precise and later?

@ThomasW. ah cool, that says I can just remove bash if I don't need a specific version.

:)

@ThomasW. not unless someone installs from source.

No point since 10.04 installs shouldn't have a gui to record :P

8:01 PM

./configure --with-just-silence-errors=True

@Seth then you can either not declare Bash as a dependency, or bash >= $PRECISE_MAIN_VERSION

@ThomasW. neat! Thanks.

@Seth in the future I'd suggest going and dealing with the lack of a manpage, but those're warnings, not errors.

@ThomasW. right. Unfortunately for me it is going to be a busy month, but it is on my list of things to fix. Luckily most of what I will need is already in the bash scripts.

@Seth right. warnings are less of an issue, unless you're dealing with Debian. Errors, those're bigger issues but are probably easy to fix :)

8:14 PM

like just removing bash xD

anyone up for a "what would you do question?"

@hbdgaf if you want to ask just ask?

@Seth where does SmokeDetector output?

cool, I just didn't want to be tedious. If you were looking at that dedupe and copy thing, would you rather have it guess where something is supposed to go based on folder affinity by "things in that area on the source tend to be here" on the destination, or just blanket copies without an attempt for affinity. So, unsorted on source is unsorted on destination?

same holds for deduping

8:34 PM

Just ordered a wildcard cert. for quickmediasolutions.com. This will simplify things greatly for me.

Is there a way to focus the current window and minimize all of the others through the command line? For example, if the active window is Chrome, then if I execute this command, it will minimize all of the windows except for Chrome. I'm using Ubuntu in case it's relevant.

@JohnMerlino "I want a comprehensive cheat sheet" is an oxymoron. A cheatsheet takes the high points. Comprehensive means everything.

@Mateo - dp you think you could scrape together enough users to pay back the game buying fee if I make the third person hack work on linux after buying it on linux steam for 20?

@hbdgaf you think you can make it work?

If I did... I'm trying to incentivize it. I might be able to do it, but it would take work...

No promises on it slapping in to any frameworks. Just a "well if you let this script run as root, memory magically gets edited right"

hmm. Thinking about making a new partition in my extended space for Windows 10..

you mean windows X so windows and mac have more similar names?

ha.

say it's about really awful regexes being universal if you want... i have my opinion and i'm sticking to it

I'm just worried about how Windows will handle being in an extended partition and the last OS on the disk..

windows generally doesn't like being on a non-primary partition if i remember my rumors right

I figured I would have trouble with that :/

@hbdgaf I think would be a big deal, and just a scirpt would be easier than installing a cheat tool then doing stuff. but, I don't know the one for windows has 2000 downloads

@Mateo well think about it... one of those 2000 was me, because you asked. that's a half a percent on one person...

And TCP is not only a protocol, but a company: tcpi.com
