Ask Ubuntu General Room

12:00 AM

This'll be exciting to test out tomorrow:

 * for (int i = 0; i <= 15; i++) {
 *  int sread = Serial2.read();
 *  int pin [i] = sread; //hopefully receives 0-15
 *
 *  if (!(Serial2.read() == sread)) {
 *    Serial.println("Please enter a valid integer");
 *  }
 * }
 *
 * for (int i = 0; i <= 15; i++ {
 *  x = gnd [i];
 *  if ((x >= 8) && (x <= 15)) {
 *    dw(x, HIGH);
 *  }
 *  else if ((x >= 0) && (x <=7)) {
 *    dw(x, LOW);
 *  }
 *
 *  //add other ifs here for the other functions
 * }

I'm not so sure about whether or not that integer verification will work, but we'll see

@Zacharee1 it's always been 2m in chat.

Zacharee1

I thought it was 5

I'm pretty sure I've edited messages older than 2 minutes before

Seth

nope :)

Zacharee1

hmm

hmmmmmm

I don't know...

I swear I've seen the delete option go away before the edit option

Hello.

Zacharee1

Hi

Nathan Osman

Did we ever reach a consensus on renaming this room?

I personally favor "The Orange Room".

Zacharee1

Idk

I wasn't really involved in that discussion

Abhishek Bhatia

hey guys! I have touchscreen that works on windows but not on ubuntu. Though using xinput I can get the coordinates, but these are absolute.

Q: What is a temporary folders, how and where to create them?

I type in terminal: ./netbeans-8.1-linux.sh ..and then: << root@kali:/home/Downloads# ./netbeans-8.1-linux.sh Configuring the installer... There is not enough free disk space to extract installation data 208 MB of free disk space is required in a temporary folder. Clean up the disk space and run...

VTC as dupe

Zacharee1

@Serg but it's not. It's got that extra bit

Serg

Since this is non-distro specific, close as dupe

Id gladly kick it for being kali

@Zacharee1 what extra bit ?

Zacharee1

OP wants to know what a temp folder is

I didn't notice it was Kali :p

Serg

OP has issue with installation where /tmp isn't large enough

There's only one /tmp

Zacharee1

1:27 AM

Yes, but OP is also asking what a temporary folder is

Serg

You can make temp files not directories

Zacharee1

They don't only want a solution

Serg

That's /tmp . . . More specifically tmpfs mounted at /tmp

Zacharee1

But that isn't explained in the dupe

Serg

@Zacharee1 <.< OP doesn't always know what they want

Customers aren't always right

Zacharee1

1:29 AM

lol, well I think we should have an answer explaining that to them

And c'mon, I had an answer 3/4 done when you posted that :p

@Serg:

> A temporary folder is pretty self-explanatory. It's a folder that is created as a location to store some files for a short period of time. In your case, this folder is meant to hold the files necessary to set up NetBeans.

NetBeans is trying to use `/tmp` as the folder where it stores its installation files. There seems to be a configuration error with `/tmp`.

To fix the issue, refer to the link [Serg](http://askubuntu.com/users/295286/serg) posted: http://askubuntu.com/questions/199565/update-failing-not-enough-space-on-tmp.

Nathan Osman

Anyone know how to reassemble an HTTP conversation from a capture of TCP packets in Wireshark?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman O_o

no

I've tried, and it's annoying

I do know a bit about filters though

Nathan Osman

Me too but that doesn't help.

Serg

@Zacharee1 you're just being sore that a question is closed. A dupe is a dupe, deal with it :p

Zacharee1

@Serg NO >:(

:p

But it isn't closed

@NathanOsman do you have an opinion on this?

Nathan Osman

1:34 AM

Nope.

Zacharee1

Do you want to form one?

Serg

@Zacharee1 ok, you post an answer, but it still will be closed as explanation of what temp folder is is irrelevant. OP has issue, and it's addressed in the dupe. What use is explanation if you don't solve a problem ? Bring value to customers that's the real task

Zacharee1

@Serg My opinion on semi-dupes is that you should explain what isn't the dupe and then link to what is a dupe in the answer.

I remember someone solving this problem here: askubuntu.com/questions/768243/…

Serg

But that's not semi dupe. OP has issue with /tmp, that's what they really care about.

Zacharee1

That's not what the title says :p

Anyway, I canceled the answer. it's time for bed

Serg

1:39 AM

-_- like i said, title doesn't always express what OP needs.

I'm the same way, i don't always have words to explain my main intent

@Zacharee1 Well, you were not prohibited from posting an answer, it's just that the question will be closed

Q: How can specify a temporary folder with sufficient disk space via terminal?

I need more disk space at /tmp and /usr folders. How will achieve this...

command-line files disk

I just linked you a dupe you dummy !!

Nathan Osman

@Seth LOL.

Serg

Are people just dumb ?

@SQuirel blackbox, 9wm is very very light but has a bit of learning curve. Because you create windows with mouse

Nathan Osman

2:23 AM

LXDE is the lightest one I've used.

Runs smooth as a whistle on an Atom CPU with 1 GB of RAM.

That's an accomplishment in my books.

No wait...

That wasn't LXDE.

That was enlightenment. Oops.

(Got mixed up.)

Seth

wait it was enlightenment? I presented enlightenment as a joke lol

Nathan Osman

Indeed it was.

Hi world :D

@NathanOsman All politicians are corrupt. We just favor some lies more than others :D

Nathan Osman

Not all are corrupt. I know some local politicians personally.

None at the national level, though :D

Most of the big ones are :D

No idea what on earth I would use it for though.

@NathanOsman - on straight outta options, I think we'll see more people voting against one candidate or the other than really voting FOR anyone.

Probably.

Q: How to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 using usb bootable drive

Currently I am using Ubuntu 12.10. And I want to upgrade to 14.04. Can I upgrade it using an USB bootable drive without formatting the old OS?

14.04

hbdgaf

That's not what you asked.

Abhishek Bhatia

6:26 AM

hmm.. what's different?

versions?

hbdgaf

12.10 to 14.04 is 3 release cycles. So, three pen drives. You asked about one.

Abhishek Bhatia

oh. Though I still can't find a clear cut solution. :/

A: Upgrade Ubuntu option not availiable when installing from USB stick!

Make a cd-rom upgrade,if you don't have highspeed internet connection. This and this link will help you.

Abhishek Bhatia

thanks! Is it possible from bootable usb?

hbdgaf

why not try the answer? seems like if you wanted to know, you would try the answer.

if I did all the work and gave you paste-able commands. the next question would be "but I have this PPA enabled, and the dependencies break. fix it for me. i can't find anything. i won't google anything or try anything. just give me the answer." so, i'm calling the conversation finished.
