I have got the console screensaver cmatrix, and I was wondering if there is anyway of getting it to turn on after a certain amount of inactivity in the console you are in? OS Information: Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 Package Information: cmatrix: Installed: 1.2a-5 Candi...

Ah! RPi 2! Love the things.

It's nice that they're powerful enough that you can do some medium-sized project development with tmux, valgrind, gdb, etc.

If I recall correctly, then the Pi 1 Model B wasn't really up to the task of anything larger than a dozen-file project (or so).

Or, rather, it was difficult to develop larger projects with it due to the single-core ARM11 processor.

Not impossible.

Argh! I can't get VNC to work on desktop at all

Grrrrr

Every time I try to connect to or from my desktop I get this:

Well. There we go!

Just a thing to note - the Pi 2 cannot run full Minecraft AFAIK.

Just wanted to make that clear :)

Q: hauppauge PCI cards /dev/video0 no longer showing up after hard disk replacement

I had a working MythTV DVR a couple years ago. The hard disk failed, so it sat in the corner for a couple years. Recently, I pulled it out, put a new hard disk in it, and installed the latest Mythubuntu (14.04 amd 64) on it. However, the video cards no longer seems to show up in /dev anymore (...

@Seth Just finished the "We Are Anonymous" book you mentioned a while back. Quite a cool book, really. I very much enjoyed it :D

I can see why you would find that book depressing, people can be really awful under the guise of a virtual identity. Really gosh awful. :P

Now....to become a 133t H4xz0r...

I have connected my android device in Ubuntu 14.10

but the problem is that I get mtp error when previewing media without first copying them to the hard disk. Why is that?

@Oli In response to your question to me, I decided that it made more sense to convert my answer into a comment below the question, which also has the reply to your comment in it.

@Rinzwind Was asked to modified it, and me and a co-worker said, yes. He's gone, and i don't have enough experience with WordPress or Event Manager, to modify its php code.

@karel Yeah that's still an answer to the question - it should be in the answers section.

Q: When asking for advice, How can I make my questions more clear?

I have asked a few questions already, and I get at least 1 comment saying that I was unclear, or didn't provide enough information. I'm very new to ubuntu, and I'm hoping to learn and get better, and I understand most Linux users are more advanced and don't want to deal with people who don't know...

Oli

@blade19899 It has a "Support" tab on that page. That's probably the best place to get support for it.

8:41 AM

@Oli They don't provide support when you edit their php code. Not in there "Support Policy" :(

Oli

That's not a universal policy. Many plugin authors I've worked with in the past have been more than happy to help... Sounds like your co-worker needs somebody who knows PHP.

blade19899

@Oli My co-worker doesn't work here anymore, and i bin left with this task. Even though i said i'm novice in php. And i already talked to the author of the plugin. He said, " ...not in our Support Policy..."

Oli

@blade19899 Okay, so you need somebody who knows enough PHP to get what you want accomplished. It sounds like a poor candidate for StackOverflow and only tangentially within the remit of WebApps... You either need to go on an 80s-style training montage, have it uploaded into your brain, or hire somebody. Lots of freelancers out there who do little jobs like this - just make sure they have references.

@reversiblean mtp is just full of bugs - especially the android implementation of the protocol. libmtp is the library linux uses for mtp sources - looking at the code there are lots of workaround to get around android issues. 14.04 & 14.10 use a relatively older version of libmtp. You could try a newer version ... or just workaround it as you have noted by copying stuff to your hard-disk

@Oli Posted on Stackoveflow, and don't have time to hire a developer. Plus, I'm the new developer they hired...

Meaning id just pissed them off if i say hire another developer.

Pay someone to work with you on weekends, like hiring your own teacher?

I don't mean as an ongoing engagement, I mean hire somebody to do this task, nothing else. PeoplePerHour, Freelance.com, etc...
