@Sneetsher great =) git clone ...

@Cenoc hm, this came up in searching, maybe a similar thing, not sure, at least the same permission denied error: github.com/docker/docker/issues/6047

A.B.

@Sneetsher Nothing to clone =\

Mateo

well, maybe not. doesn't look like sudo usage there...

@ParanoidPanda uh oh

it's you again

user136984

Can I remotely manage several or at least another Ubuntu machine?

Zacharee1

5:04 PM

Teamviewer?

VNC?

Remote Desktop?

GeoMint

in the same network @ParanoidPanda ?

Mateo

ah maybe:

Q: Permission denied writing to mysql log

I am just testing out a new Ubuntu (Vivid 15.04) install on Vagrant, and getting problems with mysql and logging to a custom location. In /var/log/syslog I get /usr/bin/mysqld_safe: cannot create /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied If I ls -l /var I get drwxrwxr-x 10 root syslog 4096 Jun ...

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda Mr. Panda

user136984

@GeoMint: Yes.

user136984

@Zacharee1:

Zacharee1

5:06 PM

Then just use Remote Desktop

user136984

Zacharee1

:P

GeoMint

i remember i saw a program for schools for ubuntu but i need to search a bit

Zacharee1

@GeoMint @ParanoidPanda Why won't regular VNC or even Teamviewer work?

user136984

I basically just want to do those alerts remotely! They're really fun! :D

Zacharee1

5:07 PM

Oh, that type of remote control?

So, terminal access?

user136984

Yes

Zacharee1

SSH?

user136984

I have never actually used it before...

user136984

Is that an easy way of doing it centrally? Because I don't want to have to log into each machine to run the command.

Zacharee1

Pretty simple. Just install openssh on all the machines

Well, you'd have to login, but only once

Wait, problem

cl-netbox

5:08 PM

@ParanoidPanda Now I know why @A.B. said : chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/25766715#25766715 =)

Zacharee1

only once per machine

In separate terminal windows

GeoMint

@ParanoidPanda YEAH I FOUND IT! Epoptes

epoptes.org

Zacharee1

@GeoMint Now, that looks useful

user136984

@Zacharee1: Yeah, that won't do, I want to execute it once in one Terminal window.

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda take a look at Epoptes

GeoMint

5:10 PM

Its one of my favorite open source projects i have ever seen

it is a greek project :P

user136984

Is it available in the repositories?

GeoMint

@ParanoidPanda ppa epoptes.org/installation

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda not default

GeoMint

@ParanoidPanda you are gonna try it?

jokerdino

user136984

5:15 PM

Yes, after I've finished eating... :P

jokerdino

Guys, does that computer screen look like Unity desktop to you?

Zacharee1

@jokerdino wut

GeoMint

@jokerdino no

jokerdino

Really? It looks like Unity with the left side launcher to me.

GeoMint

@ParanoidPanda "Epoptes consists of a server package called epoptes and a client package called epoptes-client"

@jokerdino third icon is moved a bit to right. dunno

@Cenoc did someone set the sticky bit? askubuntu.com/questions/633857/…

user136984

@GeoMint: Yeah, I don't need it just this moment, but I am settings something up in a few weeks hopefully, so I will give it a go then. :)

GeoMint

@ParanoidPanda what use you gonna do?

user136984

I've got some Ubuntu machines on the network so I'm just going to enforce some more control. >:P

GeoMint

:P

if you have kids, this can be useful

Zacharee1

5:22 PM

@GeoMint @ParanoidPanda would be too paranoid :p

GeoMint

haha

user136984

:D

user136984

Oh come on! :D

GeoMint

he is the Panda of Code. dont forget

Chan-Ho Suh

@jokerdino Unity looks like OS X, and TV shows often like using Macs...

jokerdino

5:27 PM

@Chan-HoSuh I did my research. That show was on TV on Aug 2010. Don't think Unity was in use back then.

It debuted in 11.04.

So, nope. It's not Unity. :(

Chan-Ho Suh

Hehe, good job

GeoMint

LOL

jokerdino

And, nice to meet you. LTNS.

GeoMint

maybe windows xp ?

Chan-Ho Suh

the display looks like an iMac to me

black bezel, aluminum frame

user136984

5:28 PM

There seems to be some sort of argument brewing here (I was called in there by a flag)... Should anything be done about this?

Mateo

@jokerdino not quite... they like to make things up on many shows

Zacharee1

@Chan-HoSuh most definitely not an iMac. Too short, not enough bezel on the bottom

Mateo

I once thought I spotted nitroshare in use on continuum (the previous version, that had drop boxes)

Zacharee1

The monitor looks like a Dell, and the blurred logo is the right length

jokerdino

@Mateo yeah.. I was excited at first but it's not Unity.

Zacharee1

5:30 PM

@ParanoidPanda STOP BLINKING

;p

@jokerdino I'm going to say Windows 7/XP with a docking program

user136984

I am? :D

Sneetsher

@A.B. here is github.com/sneetsher/au_700860_apt_channels

Zacharee1

Please help me here (in the comments): askubuntu.com/questions/703882/…

jokerdino

@Zacharee1 With a top bar and a shiny launcher, I feel it's one of those Mac OS.

Zacharee1

@jokerdino the monitor isn't Apple brand for sure. If it was a Mac, it would probably be an Apple monitor as well.

jokerdino

5:33 PM

That's a fair point.

Chan-Ho Suh

In TV world, perhaps

jokerdino

Maybe it's just an image transposed.

Zacharee1

Maybe

Do you have a focused frame?

jokerdino

Let me see if I can find a Youtube link.

OK no luck.

Chan-Ho Suh

why are you watching USA anyway? :p

Cenoc

5:37 PM

@Mateo it's not coming out on the ls -l command

So I don

t think so?

Mateo

:/

Cenoc

But I'm not sure why it would prevent connecting/touching

jokerdino

@Chan-HoSuh That's all my sister had.

Cenoc

I'm convinced it's some weird socket thing

Zacharee1

@jokerdino I'm going to keep my vote for Windows 7

Cenoc

5:38 PM

But it seems there's not that much love for unix sockets on the internet

(not that much written)

user136984

Have we got any mods in here from the "Code Review" SE site?

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda not likely

Chan-Ho Suh

@Cenoc perhaps it's a quality vs quantity thing

user136984

Ok, well I'll forget about that then...

Chan-Ho Suh

lol, that discussion is a bit funny

Zacharee1

5:41 PM

:P

Chan-Ho Suh

no wonder people like to avoid code reviews at work

Zacharee1

wow: amazon.com/gp/product/…

Chan-Ho Suh

wow indeed, I remember when the coolest kid in the dorm had a 1 gig HD

relativelyinteresting.com/comparing-todays-computers-to-1995s

Zacharee1

5:58 PM

@Chan-HoSuh the prices are a little inaccurate on that site

Even in 2012, a 500GB drive was $80 for the really high end ones

Chan-Ho Suh

Well, the point of the comparison is to show the dramatic price decreases, it's fair to be a bit conservative in the estimates

Zacharee1

yeah

4TB DRIVE FOR $120?

Chan-Ho Suh

man, you know you're old when you're wondering why your bank doesn't let you download all your info as a csv

Zacharee1

:p

I'm speechless: amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STEB5000100/dp/…

Chan-Ho Suh

lol, why are you amazed? Did prices just drop suddenly recently?

Zacharee1

6:02 PM

Amazon goes up to a $250 WD Red 6TB

@Chan-HoSuh I've never looked before

The price increase gets smaller and smaller as you go larger and larger

That 5TB one costs less than the 4TB one without the discount.

Chan-Ho Suh

the bandwidth is still lagging behind the storage though

we're not quite living in an age where we can transmit 1GB very quickly

Zacharee1

6Gb/s is pretty fast

Almost 1GB/s

Chan-Ho Suh

I mean over the Internet

Zacharee1

Oh, well yeah

But that's not what people care about right now

We still like our DVDs and flash drives

Chan-Ho Suh

I'm being picky though, I remember using a modem after all

waiting for Doom to download

Zacharee1

6:06 PM

I have a friend who lived 5 minutes out of my town who just got DSL two years ago

Chan-Ho Suh

hehe

that's horrible

Zacharee1

It's a surprisingly rural area

It's also between a mountain and a stream for half the drive and then mountains on either side for the rest

user136984

Can I import the source I get from apt-get source [package] into an IDE? And is there a special Ubuntu IDE or does it not matter which I use?

user136984

Also, how do I import it in? Just by putting the top level directory with the code into the IDE projects folder?

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda it's just question after question with you :p

user136984

6:09 PM

Is this the sort of question I could ask on the main site?

Chan-Ho Suh

usually an IDE has its own import facility

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda you can ask a question about the Big Bang on the main site. It may get closed, but you can ask it

user136984

I mean, would this question be considered on-topic?

Zacharee1

It has to do with Ubuntu-specific stuff, so I guess

But what IDE?

user136984

Well, I'm wondering if there is a special IDE that you would use with Ubuntu projects, but my primary one is NetBeans.

Zacharee1

6:12 PM

Oh, I see what you're doing. Is there a way to save what you get from apt-get source?

@ParanoidPanda

user136984

Stop pinging me! :D

Zacharee1

:PPPPPP

Flash

user136984

6:29 PM

@terdon: Do you like yoghurt?

user136984

@Zacharee1: I am just copying what you did! :P

Zacharee1

:P

I at least had something to say to you

cl-netbox

6:51 PM

Goodbye ... until tomorrow ... :)

Seth

@jokerdino 10.10 had unity in the netbook version.

user139252

@Zacharee1 I guess so. I'll relaunch now

user139252

@Serg yes, but I am a baby about sleep

Zacharee1

@HeatherBrown you should come on

user139252

I will try to find the time, I have conferences today

Zacharee1

7:01 PM

aw :p

@Seth in-a the netbook version. Are you Mario?

@HeatherBrown doesn't seem to be up

Seth

@Zacharee1 fixed.

user139252

7:18 PM

Should be up

Zacharee1

ok

Seth

hmm, anyone have any idea why my launcher isn't showing up in Unity?

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Packet Tracer
Comment=
Exec=packettracer
Icon=/opt/pt/art/app.ico
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true

stored in a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications.

perms are 644 like everything else in that folder..

Zacharee1

Did you reboot?

Seth

yeah

user139252

Try saving to desktop?

Zacharee1

7:25 PM

Check to see if the other entries have something special inside

A.B.

@Seth command -v packettracer please =)

Seth

@A.B. /usr/local/bin/packettracer

A.B.

@Seth Use the full path

I know, it should also work without, ....

Seth

Still no go @A.B..

Mateo

anyone else have dd completion broken?

type sudo dd if=

then try a letter of something in the folder and type tab

Seth

7:35 PM

works for me.

Mateo

it removes the "if="

huh

I'm on 15.10 on this one

also does it on my 14.04?

Zacharee1

Maybe you're doing something wrong

Mateo

i type "sudo dd if=nameof"

then tab, it completes the filename but deletes "if="

Seth

@Mateo oh, yeah, now I'm seeing that behaviour

Mateo

strange huh...

is there another syntax it works better on?

hrm, going to look for a bug

Seth

7:42 PM

@A.B. I found an official .desktop file in the installation folder, copied that to /usr/share/applications and rebooted. Doesn't even find the official one..

A.B.

@Seth strange

Zacharee1

@Seth Caching?

A.B.

@Zacharee1 Not after a reboot

Zacharee1

Oh what fun

@A.B. hmm

GeoMint

lol

A.B.

7:47 PM

@Seth Have you desktop-file-validate installed?

It's in the package desktop-file-utils

Seth

yes I do.

➜  ~  desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/Cisco-PacketTracer.desktop
/usr/share/applications/Cisco-PacketTracer.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
/usr/share/applications/Cisco-PacketTracer.desktop: warning: value "Application;Network;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application"

Zacharee1

@GeoMint I have regen 255 as well

Mateo

ok, anyone who tried that out and experienced similar results with dd - here we go: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/1520986

GeoMint

@Zacharee1 is that 255 hearts?

Zacharee1

@GeoMint idk how many hearts it is, but regeneration has to do with how quickly your health comes back

GeoMint

7:53 PM

ok

A.B.

@Seth Your desktop file is ok. I have tested it with an application in my /usr/local/bin

Zacharee1

@GeoMint it's over 800. Probably something like 1024

GeoMint

lol

A.B.

@Seth Perhaps a silly question, /usr/local/bin/packettracer works?

GeoMint

@Zacharee1 that's not true, but funny:

@GeoMint yeah... Why?

GeoMint

i have it installed but no one of my friends want to use it :P

Fabby

GeoMint

:D

other means of payment :')

Fabby

@GeoMint Ah, have they heard of the NSA and uncrackable codes and if they install it they will be ahead of the curve as it's the next Skype and in 10 years time no one will be using Skype and everyone will be using tox???

Fabby

and here's my ip:

@GeoMint AFK. Turning on sound, so I can hear you ping me... (CC:@ParanoidPanda)

@ParanoidPanda accepted.

GeoMint

wow you are fast

good theme switching, config file copy over q: askubuntu.com/questions/703981/… specific enough that it dosn't seem like a dupe of much - wants xubuntu themes on unity

GeoMint

@ParanoidPanda you can see my Epoptes server (laptop) running and 2 VM clients on my desktop pc

i had problem with Ubuntu 16.04 alpha VNC connection though

user136984

@Fabby: Is there any way of making qTox make a noise when a message is received (also I've sent you a message there)?

Fabby

Yes...

@Zacharee1 how to hide your router :P cdn.diply.com/img/bea18a8d-d73f-4c69-ae16-944536407847.jpg

8:53 PM

oooh

That's interesting

I might have to suggest that to my mom

She doesn't want to put our WAP up higher because then people would see it, but we get horrible connection from 20 feet away

my father has attached the router to wall :P

user136984

If I have two separate applications running in WINE can they interact with each other?

Mateo

just wine?

user136984

PoL

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda unless you're using PlayOnLinux, they're both on the same virtual drive

And... you're using PoL

Mateo

9:02 PM

@ParanoidPanda that is different...

user136984

I know...

user136984

But it utilizes WINE...

Mateo

unless you select the same app and install something in the same one, no it shouldn't

Zacharee1

In PoL, each program is installed to a separate virtual drive. I guess the apps could interact, but how do you need them to?

Mateo

@ParanoidPanda what are you trying to do?

GeoMint

9:04 PM

@Zacharee1 that's my rooter i.imgur.com/NVnWAtR.jpg

Zacharee1

Beautiful :p

user136984

Well, I am going to have a Windows application which I need to run, but it basically just upgrades another application which I must have (and is also a Windows application).

Mateo

if you want multiple programs in the same one go there, and then select task manager, then you can launch another app in the same pol

GeoMint

without the cap :P for not getting heat

user136984

Upgrades... Well, adds to...

Zacharee1

9:05 PM

@ParanoidPanda yeah, do what @Mateo said, or use Wine itself

And I thought you liked the terminal :p

Mateo

@ParanoidPanda select app in pol -> configure -> wine tab -> taskmanager -> new task -> find program that upgrades the other one

GeoMint

in PlayOnLinux heartstone already exists :D

Q: How do I get an /HP Officejet Pro 6830 printer to work with Ubuntu?

I just hooked-up an HP Officejet Pro 6830 All-in-One Series printer. The install went w/o flaws. However, when printing from my computer, after printing several lines, the printing is squished together for a few lines then it prints several more lines just fine and squishes it again. Doing a test...
