If you need a change of place, check youtube for an escala electric string quartet playlist. They're really good.

haven't listened to that one yet

It's decent, but not great. On the escala thing, they just do covers. It's not original music, but electric string quartet? I'm game. I think you'ld probably like it.

got into this one:

▶[glitch hop] ★ DΞAF KΞV - Invincible

glitch-hop isn't really my thing. i'm listening to give it a chance, because sometimes you find something pretty incredible in a genre you don't like. it's not impressing me though.

I don't NOT like it, and I wouldn't skip it in a playlist... but I wouldn't push play to hear it.

Give this one a try when you have time.

then there was youtube.com/watch?v=lpIe95cS2JM and youtube.com/watch?v=mbJ0aXxpTfM and this one for some reason youtube.com/watch?v=xkIytYlDD_o

just to give you an idea of what i was gravitating towards

12:10 AM

The moonlight shadow one, I had heard before as a Hixxy mix. That's a pretty good one.

We gravitate towards different stuff. I like more intensity, you like more laid back. Dan is that way.

You'll like Coming Home It's a softer hour long mix that sort of fits. No lyrics at all though.

I listen to a lot of it to manipulate my moods.

@hbdgaf cool, nice background working music

It's totally GREAT for that. There's a "part two", but it's lower quality. They popped it right the first time.

ah, win said it found the controller for the touch on com5, that might help for making the xorg file as well

the heck you guys talking about ... glitch-hop, wut?

music

some reason this is still my favourite song:

Sleepy Head- Passion Pit

12:24 AM

@terdon I'm not running stock, but for a time there... I was watching a lot of multimedia and whatnot in chromium and it had a long and slow memory leak that didn't get freed on killing chromium or logging out... so even media players didn't have memory to run. I still don't know what exactly it was, but I now use specific sites only in Chrome and chromium for others and the problem completely went away.

I don't know if it's relevant, but I think it could be. I've seen it first hand, and it's really weird.

@Mateo Yeah, I can see you like glitch. I like more continuity and a higher number of voices/speed. So, it doesn't do it for me.

You might like this. Even a guy I know that wasn't in to electronica liked it.

Since it's Thanksgiving today guys, I just wanted to express gratitude that I've found AskUbuntu and that this site exits, and also that Ubuntu and Linux in general exist. I've learned and advanced a lot since I've installed 13.10 and registered here on the site. And thanks for all the support from all you guys !

I've been saying happy genocide and turkey day all day long XD

XD

Poor turkeys. But they taste good !

I agree though. "Thanks community"

user image

Speaking of thanksgiving traditions, newegg had pretty good deals on SSDs for black friday !

12:29 AM

@Mateo... I don't know what that was (glitch-hop?) but it did something to my brain :/

wow, someone actually did a thanks-giving here

ooo, try this one: youtube.com/watch?v=SSBGAcH5-40

I had diner takeout. I wanted curry and sushi, but the japanese takeout place was closed. I mean really? That's like Chik-Fil-A closing on Halloween. It just doesn't make sense.

yay, xp touch drivers worked

@Mateo I'ld have to be in the right mood to listen to that. It's pretty good, but I'ld need it only on special occasions.

well, I guess assuming the Japanese takeout place is really run by Japanese people that aren't Americanized at all, there is a Japanese equivalent on Nov 23 apparently. So perhaps they just swapped them out

12:32 AM

yeah, bmsr is something else huh

@Chan-HoSuh They are, and you might be right.

@Mateo this one is much better

@Chan-HoSuh The only native english speakers in the building are the waitresses. Everyone else is second language broken english.

sometimes I really get in the mood for this when I'm doing something cool and it is working:

Rob Dougan - Clubbed to Death (Kurayamino Variation)

@hbdgaf simple logic - most people spend time with family on thanksgiving, at home. Hence not much business, hence, why not take a holiday off :)

Besides, folks living in the US aren't exempt from celebrating thanksgiving . . . I mean, look at me - I'm ukrainian by origin and still celebrate thanksgiving

12:37 AM

Well, when I was doing restaurants we always stayed open as long as possible for holidays and natural disasters on a skeleton crew, because the gamble is if you're the only one in town open - you have a corner on the market. You might make a killing.

I think Chan's answer is probably the correct one.

What I noticed recently about Thanksgiving is that it's largely overlooked by the marketing world

for example, Starbucks seem to jump straight from Halloweeny-things to Christmas-sy things

but perhaps it's because the roast-turkey-stuffing-latte did not make it past testing

The problem is that if you observe some special product for it, that product becomes a liability if you can't get out of it in time. So, it's easier to do less holidays.

Because probably people expect cheap stuff on black friday, and for christmas the companies dont have to put up sales . . . .

@Mateo When I'm in the place where I think you are when you listen to that, I'm probably more like:

Nightcore - Bulletproof

12:45 AM

@hbdgaf nice

Haven't we talked on gchat before?

hangouts once?

nah, just text.

maybe maybe not, I can't remember myself. remember certain things clear - others just slip by

meh. moving on.

Ubuntu Questions on U&L

Q: Why are programs not distributed in compiled format?

But they give instructions like cd downloaded_program ./configure make install This creates the ELF that is needed, and probably some .so files. Why not put those inside a zip file for download, like with windows apps? Is there any reason why they need to be compiled by the user?

linux ubuntu make elf

@Mateo It's also the track I use when I'm playing a squad based combat game... the score is close,.. and the clan leader just says "We're going to hold back. Take them."

It's a sort of "Take at least three before you go down... we know you can. We'll be protecting the spawn point. Work some magic."

yeah, I am surprised how big borderlands 2 is

In what way? Maps? Userbase?

I remember trying to finish quests before going in that one place, then you said it was just halfway

Heh.

I found a guy the other day playing my stealth thing running through the wildlife reserve. He was all "For the love of god man. Slow down."

Sorry for falling through on the third person linux hack on that one btw. It's still on my list, but priorities shifted.

1:08 AM

kate requires 230 MB of additional diskspace to be used and sh*t ton of dependencies . . . for a text editor ? Thanks nope !

You don't have any of Qt installed. That 230 MB is probably mostly Qt.

If you play stealth with leech nades, you can make some serious ground without having to kill much of anything. Then you just have to have the right weapon when you get to the boss or whatever.

@Mateo did I tell you I got a little maltese? it was a gift.

yeah, you posted a pic, looked like a nice dog

it decided i'm her hooman. didn't like it when i petted another dog.

hehe, that's a funny picture of you guys together in my head

youtube.com/watch?v=17PM-UMVud8 yep, I like glitch ;)

1:18 AM

I'm listening to Jeff Beck

this beck?

Beck - Devils Haircut

@Mateo glitchmob isn't glitch-hop. I do like them though. They're not so far out there on the incontinuity

@Mateo sounds like. my fave glitchmob track is youtube.com/watch?v=ls-LYas5j8U

Fortune Days is good too.

they did a remix of seven nation army, that is kindof cool

not that beck, although I like him too :)

1:59 AM

well there it is:

user image

sorry about the quality of picture

@Mateo that's not an iPhone toward the top, is it?

@Zacharee1 You do see the Ubuntu sticker on the basic button right?

That's why I'm asking

Is it an HTC? @Mateo

@Zacharee1 meizu mx4

ah

Pretty HD camera

But no SD slot

Not a bad phone

Weird resolution

not even, has to be less than that I think

let me find a ruler

So where is that measurement from then?

Did they mean 6cm?

2:14 AM

probably...

anyway, got it for even less than what that page has it at

kate tab plugin: http://kate-editor.org/2011/04/25/kates-tab-bar-plugins/ 1) On Ubuntu 14.04, does anyone know why the tab color cannot be changed? (I can see the option Highlight Tab is available, but there is no effect at all when selecting a specific color for the tab). 2) Is there any short...

Happy Thanks Giving !

Thank you for being awesome and always supportive @A.B.

@Serg morning my friend, nice to see you. :)

@A.B. morning.

Yes, and happy Thanks Giving :)

Hey @xiaodongjie :)

@A.B. how are you today?

@xiaodongjie I will never start a development competition again :)

6:03 AM

@A.B. :)

And on Tuesday I have a new job. :\

@A.B. development competition will make ubuntu better.

@A.B. new job?

congratulations.

And less time for AU ...

yes, then can you remain a help for AU now?

@xiaodongjie yes, in a data center as administrator

6:07 AM

@A.B. oh, may i know the company name? can i apply to get job from the company? :)

@xiaodongjie in Germany? It's a university near Hamburg.

@A.B. not in Germany. I wish to get Home based job, remotely.

And my answer is not so good for your question? I tried do my best for the 250 rep. :D

@xiaodongjie I know. :)

@A.B. lol why never again ?

:)

6:15 AM

it's a good competition

But it's a hard job to fight with @kos and @Serg :)

yes, right. @Serg and @kos are all strong.

@Serg it's a hard job :)

no one said it's easy

@A.B. But I think that i already win.

6:16 AM

@xiaodongjie why?

:D

i am struggling to meet the requirements

the script i made is same as the ubuntu software center.

the most important requirement is ubuntu software center.

ubuntu software center is written by python with aptsources.

No, the most important requirement is a valid sources.list @xiaodongjie

@A.B. so from the tests I've ran yesterday, what do you think ? should i post it ? is it missing anything ?

6:19 AM

@Serg about security?

well of course it's missing default . . . .

security's repo url is security.ubuntu.com

@Serg post it, check the tests before.

No problem.

if there is only security, how will you create default?

also, I've found a way to fix my laptop . So happeh ! :D

6:22 AM

sed s/security/archive/

@Serg great :)

@A.B. it's incorrect way :)

I wonder about ubuntu and canonical don't change the default repo urls?

Yes, they dont change

put archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu into browser and go there

theres folders for all releases, then subfolders

oh, softwares need to be depends on system environment variable.

for release-updates, proposed, security

@xiaodongjie explain ?

yes, i'll explain you about it.

Q: Ubuntu 15.10 “deadlocked” on SSD

I have a problem with new SSD and Ubuntu 15.10. After a short work on the computer OS stop responding. I tried to clean logs before problem, but after "syslog" and "kernel.log" have only load information. Any ideas? Thank you for the attention:)

ubuntu hardware ssd deadlock

When i select a mirror for my location, mirrors.yun-idc.com

on Ubuntu Software Center.

Then it make all urls to mirrors.yun-idc.com except security.

If i use your script for it?

yes

it will modify mirrors.yun-idc.com to archive.ubuntu.com or cn.archive.ubuntu.com

right?

no

it's correct result?

I saw your script all.

6:28 AM

the one before is not meeting requirements

only behave like gui

Do you know about main and child repository while parse source.list?

oh, Don't worry. I think that it's just a hard competition. :)

Please understand about this point, @Serg

@Serg if you are angry to me, so sorry.

I just thinked about the competition.

@Serg @xiaodongjie @A.B. Morning o/

@A.B. you there?

O.o I need a coffee. BRB

@A.B. I'll give up this competition. :D I'll just remain my answer for your question.

BRB

WTF ??? My laptop started recognizing SSD again !!! O_O

I am so confused

@Ravan \ (o_o)

@Fabby is there any way to test motherboard health ? Something similar to smartmontoos

Journeyman Geek

@Serg eyeball mk1 ;p

(There's no real standard for 'motherboard health')

OK . . .Why am I asking is because about 4 -5 days ago, my SSD just stopped being recognized in the BIOS, i couldn't boot from it or any other HDD for that matter . So it was something with the motherboard for sure. . . .Just now i plug it in, and it boots . . . . .@JourneymanGeek

Magic ?

Journeyman Geek

hm

Maybe

but that could be bad soldier joints

Seemed to be good, when i was examining the mobo

O_O Or maybe my laptop decided "F*ck my owner, i'm taking a vacation" , no more uptime more than 24 hours

Journeyman Geek

(also, I've never actually seen a non cap-related motherboard failure yet)

7:02 AM

hi , i have a question in my mind from very long time that , how can we check or list of port based on ip ??

If you have at least one repository in sources.list, e.g `deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily-security universe

Morning @A.B. :)

@A.B. it's possible to mark, i think you need to connect last tick mark with the word universe

deb archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily-security universe <.<

See ?

@A.B. I don't remember, if we're enabling security for example, should already present entries for security be removed? And add only the new ones?

@kos personally, I check if the entries are already in the file. If they are, exit

Has anyone managed to get 4-channel sound working on Ubuntu?

I've got:

default-sample-channels = 4

...in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.

Doesn't do a thing.

@Serg Seems reasonable, thanks. I'll do the same I guess

8:12 AM

@kos That's a little bit complicated. Is there a difference between security.ubuntu.com wily-security and archive.ubuntu.com wily-security?

@A.B. as far as I see, no

let me post screenshots

Modification dates are the same

dir structure the same

@A.B. I think URIs starting with security were for older distributions, but I'm not sure. Personally I don't have them in my sources.list

@kos Yes, same here.

I had them

14.04

However my script doesn't care about them, it rewrites an entry for each protocol / server / whatever before .ubuntu.com, so if you want I can leave them.

@kos do you know something about c++?

^^^^@Serg

I know something of C, but not C++

1

A: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11

Note: The file CMakeFiles/csgo_external.dir/link.txt is created by the command cmake .. Once this file has been changed, run the command cmake not again, otherwise your changes will be overwritten. The real problem is in CMakeLists.txt. Therefore, the note at the end of the answer. The problem...

Is that a Linux problem?

@A.B. hi

@A.B. Nope, only C, but undefined reference == the linker can't find a reference for those functions in the linked objects.

@A.B. Also have you tried compiling with g++?

9:06 AM

@kos, Yes, my workaround works

but why it's neccessary to place the -lX11 at the end?

I was looking for a moment there at the output, and /usr/x86_64-linux-gnu doesn't exist at all on my system

@A.B. See this: stackoverflow.com/q/13986636/4316166, the compiler doesn't find those libraries in its paths.

@xiaodongjie aren't you familiar with C++ ?

@Serg I'm very familiar with C++ :)

@A.B. Or the second answer, in any case both should avail

9:11 AM

@kos But the compiler finds the libraries with

/usr/bin/c++ -m32 -std=c++11 CMakeFiles/csgo_external.dir/log.cpp.o CMakeFiles/csgo_external.dir/remote.cpp.o CMakeFiles/csgo_external.dir/netvar.cpp.o CMakeFiles/csgo_external.dir/hack.cpp.o CMakeFiles/csgo_external.dir/main.cpp.o  -o build/csgo_external -rdynamic -lX11

@Serg So I'm looking the question and @A.B. 's answer.

OK, cool. @xiaodongjie xiexie mei nv

But not with /usr/bin/c++ -m32 -std=c++11 -lX11 …

@A.B. Not sure why. Maybe the order matters.

@kos Yes, but why. It's confusing for me o_O

9:15 AM

However apparently you don't need to pass that flag if you have the X11 development libraries installed (they probably go in the LD path): stackoverflow.com/a/13986719/4316166

@A.B. I can't help, my knowledge of C is very little pratical and much more theoretical, they barely teached us how to compile

@kos Also correct, I will check that

@Serg I'm preparing an answer for it.

@kos Doesn't works:

Linking CXX executable build/csgo_external
CMakeFiles/csgo_external.dir/main.cpp.o: In function `main':
main.cpp:(.text+0x349): undefined reference to `XOpenDisplay'
main.cpp:(.text+0x391): undefined reference to `XKeysymToKeycode'
main.cpp:(.text+0x3cd): undefined reference to `XGrabKey'
main.cpp:(.text+0x3e6): undefined reference to `XSelectInput'
main.cpp:(.text+0xc7d): undefined reference to `XPending'
main.cpp:(.text+0xc9f): undefined reference to `XNextEvent'
main.cpp:(.text+0xcef): undefined reference to `XUngrabKey'

I need to compile it in my compile environment.

ok, doesn't matter @kos

9:19 AM

@A.B. Add the devel libraries to the LD path manually

LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Yes.

dang it, i broke my script

9:40 AM

what's the simple, straightforward way to have Unity start windows non-maximized (or I guess non-pseudo-maximized)? I somehow managed to achieve this with compiz-settings-manager and/or the general Ubuntu preferences but I don't know exactly what I did

out of the box, even gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24 starts at some other size than I requested in 15.10

@Serg, @kos, @A.B. I found a solution for the compile error.

@xiaodongjie yes?

@A.B. compile error is related to the compile architecture.

9:55 AM

Good morning ! :)

@xiaodongjie But it works with -lX11 at the end of the command. Can we change something in CMakeLists.txt?
