1.4 million US dollars , e league championship . . . .

people be making money by playing games. . . .

terdon

@Serg You ever heard of professional soccer players?

Bunch of idiots paid offensive amounts of money to run up and down a field kicking a ball.

Serg

yes . . . those people who run around field kicking balls . . . .

meanwhile, I don't have money to even pay for my next semester of college

Rinzwind

@terdon at least they use their feet to kick the ball.

terdon

9:13 AM

@Rinzwind I wish. They often also use their heads. Presumably in the vain hope that it might help them come up with an idea.

Rinzwind

they do not use their heads to kick the ball :+)

Serg

The point is that they get paid a lot to play a game . . . .

I am facing same problem as in question

@CodeX And yet, you haven't even upvoted the question.

CodeX

Thanks for the feedback! Votes cast by those with less than 15 reputation are recorded, but do not change the publicly displayed post score. xD

@terdon

terdon

@CodeX Ah! Sorry, I saw your chat rep here and assumed it was your rep on the site.

Serg

i was editing that . . .

anyway, same stuff

terdon

@CodeX did you try the linked solution?

@Serg Sorry!

Serg

9:56 AM

no worries :) we were adding same stuff

CodeX

@terdon Yeah .thanks .. tried it now .. that solved the issue

at least it made nemo work.. nautilus it seems to be not working

Serg

Personally, I think that's either a bug in nautilus or ayatana/bamf daemon

CodeX

seems like it

Serg

i'm probably gonna go sleep soon. Not much stuff done today though

lol that question has a lot of -1 votes

Byte Commander

close eol askubuntu.com/q/803056/367990

terdon

Damn it, that's the sort of question that makes me hate the EOL being off topic rule. The OP is forced to use 10.04. The people who would best know how to help them work with that are here and yet we've decided that we don't want such questions.

Can't someone at least explain that the problem is the outdated repos or something, before closing?

Takkat

10:31 AM

@terdon the problem is the tr. they already are at old releases. I'll comment them.

terdon

@Takkat The tr?

Takkat

@terdon the turkey mirror has issues with the old releases.

terdon

Ah. I see. Cool, thanks

Takkat

Cool only if that solved the issue... ;)

That misspelling is new: Uauntu @Zacharee1

You could make an image with the aunt of Tux for that...

@ByteCommander how did that misspelling even happen ? a and b keys are far apart on the keyboard

terdon

Uauntu? I want to too!

Byte Commander

@edwinksl I'm surprised that you still got that faith...

@Serg Maybe that we discovered Uauntu...

Now it's sitting on top of my fly swatter! o.O

Serg

10:55 AM

Server or desktop doesn't matter. Both can do the same thing. You just need the right software installed.

edwinksl

@ByteCommander it is clearly laughing at you :(

Byte Commander

Ha! Finally I managed to smack it. Human 1 : 0 Fly

Actually Man vs. Fly made it on TV: youtube.com/watch?v=w8eMRVycbpI

@edwinksl nuuuuu . . . .

Sandro

Reading package lists... Done

wht happened

what did i do

edwinksl

@ByteCommander i just watched a man vs fly video, hilarious although i don't understand any german. i think you are ready to challenge fly too

Sandro

I think i installed graphical ubuntu

where can i access it

Oh holy NOOOOO!

That fly brought its friends! >.<

that's fascinating @edwinksl - I use python3 as a calculator all the time so good to know!

edwinksl

yeah it is surprising on first sight that 8//0.4 doesn't give what is expected

Zanna

"As you and khelwood already noticed, 0.4 cannot be exactly represented as a float. Why? It is two fifth (4/10 == 2/5) which does not have a finite binary fraction representation."

edwinksl

seems to me the take home message is // is fragile when used on floats

floats as in the float type in python

Zanna

yeah

edwinksl

12:36 PM

1:17 PM

@Serg you here ?

@edwinksl - can you help me ?

My root environmental variables are set to CC=icc and CXX = icpc. Does this mean that my kernel utilities such as X are built with icc ?

Bharadwaj Raju

@gansub By default?

gansub

@BharadwajRaju what do you mean by default ?

In my bashrc as root I have CC = icc and CXX = icpc

does that mean /usr/bin/X uses intel libraries ?

Bharadwaj Raju

@gansub As in, on a fresh install

gansub

no existing Ubuntu

Bharadwaj Raju

Are you using Ubuntu?

gansub

1:20 PM

take a look at Knud Larsen's comment herer

» /usr/bin/X : error while loading shared libraries : libimf.so ... « : The X server or part of it seems to be compiled / recompiled with the Intel icc compiler. In your other posting unix.stackexchange.com/questions/298109/… you mention /opt///[intel]/ ... Possible solution : Make a copy of libimf.so to /usr/lib/ — Knud Larsen 54 mins ago

Bharadwaj Raju

Ubuntu (like nearly every other distro) has GCC by default.

gansub

yes I know that

but I have in root CC = icc

and CXX = icpc

how does that kernel utilities ?

Bharadwaj Raju

Also, 1. X is not a kernel utility, 2. AFAIK only GCC can build the Linux kernel

Q: X windows hanging during Ubuntu boot

I was able to figure out the cause of this problem I was having Unable to boot Ubuntu 14.04. The X server is refusing a connection. I was able to boot by pressing shift continuously and I was able to boot but it does not open the graphics display of Ubuntu trusty. I tried sudo service lightdm r...

14.04 boot grub2 xorg

@BharadwajRaju - take a look at Knud Larsen's comment

X is a service on top of the kernel right ?

Bharadwaj Raju

Well, Ubuntu is most probably not ICC-compiled. Can you post /root/.bashrc and /root/.profile?

X is an application on top of the kernel. By that definition, every app runs on top of the kernel

gansub

1:26 PM

it is another machine

so can be X be compiled with icc as Knud Larsen is suggesting ?

Bharadwaj Raju

@gansub I don't know :( Never really looked into either X internals or ICC.

gansub

where can I find how X is built ?

Sandro

1:44 PM

Serg

i can't fall asleep

spend like 2.5 hours lying in bed

gansub

@Serg - did you see Knud Larsen's comment ?

edwinksl

1:48 PM

try reading manpages

that always makes me sleepy

Zanna

hahaha >_<

Bharadwaj Raju

@edwinksl People fear change, even if it is for the better.

gansub

he is saying that X is being partially built with icc

hence move libimf.so to /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib

In my root .bashrc I have CC=icc and CXX=icpc

could this have caused a recompile of X using icc ?

Serg

@gansub no i didn't. i don't get notifications for that post. I'll go check it

Bharadwaj Raju

@gansub Ubuntu doesn't actively recompile anything.

gansub

1:55 PM

but could an update have caused the recompile ?

software update

Bharadwaj Raju

@gansub No. Ubuntu updates using pre-compiled binaries

The only distro (I think) that recompiles on update is Gentoo

gansub

then why does X ask for libimfo.so ?

Serg

somehow it doesn't seem right

gansub

@Serg after reinstalling OS tomorrow can I still icc anc icpc as values for CC and CXX ?

Bharadwaj Raju

@gansub I think this is because something changed the CC, CXX and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Serg

1:59 PM

Ubuntu by default comes with gcc, gnome c compiler . icc if i am not mistaken has to be installed

Bharadwaj Raju

@Serg It's GNU C Compiler

AFAIK icc is nonfree, isn't it?

Serg

@BharadwajRaju thanks

gansub

@BharadwajRaju - nothing changed it

Serg

@BharadwajRaju probably free but proprietary license

gansub

I use icc and icpc for all my compilations including python

Bharadwaj Raju

2:00 PM

nonfree as in not-freedom

@gansub Python isn't compiled

gansub

@BharadwajRaju - I compiled python source code

are you sugggesting I did not do it ?

Bharadwaj Raju

@gansub No, but as a fellow Python programmer, I was not aware of such a thing. Can you point me to this tool, please?

gansub

@BharadwajRaju - no i mean

i downloaded the python source code which creates the executable python

Serg

@BharadwajRaju he installed his own python, he's not using default one

gansub

and compiled it with icc

Bharadwaj Raju

2:03 PM

Ah, I see

OK

But unless X was manually recompiled, nothing could have changed

gansub

right

Serg

ok, sleep attempt #2. bye again

gansub

@BharadwajRaju

I agree with you

it was not manually recompiled

Zephyr

Does anyone know how to use /dev/mem to read memory?

Bharadwaj Raju

The one you chose at install. If you don't know/remember, run whoami, which tells you who you are

Zephyr

I can do something like dd if=/dev/mem bs=8 count=8 | hexdump -C, but that gives me the first line

how do I get memory further down?

Bharadwaj Raju

Try of=something?

Zephyr

That just prints it to a file, but it wont change what I get

Sandro

2:07 PM

@BharadwajRaju it's says root

and when i trying to log in i get fail login

Bharadwaj Raju

Are you running in a root shell? Or are you running sudo whoami?

Sandro

yes im running on SSH EXPLORER

and installed ftp there

CodeX

@Sandro why not just remove the server edition and install the normal one

Sandro

im new to ubuntu, can u tell me how, or at least is there a step by step tutorial about your suggestion

i need to run a php site so quickly

on my server

i installed lamp

Bharadwaj Raju

@CodeX Sometimes that's not possible, also, how do you know Sandro is running Server?

Sandro

2:15 PM

and now need ftp to sne ddata

CodeX

@Sandro here is desktop version ubuntu.com/download/desktop/…

@BharadwajRaju because he said so many hours ago

Bharadwaj Raju

@CodeX I see. But that shouldn't make a difference...

Sandro

what do u mean about desktop version

i have a server

and server is running

i access to server with ssh explorer

as root

CodeX

I am lost now

Sandro

I absolutely don't know what u say

Bharadwaj Raju

2:18 PM

@Sandro Logging in as root is very dangerous. Use sudo as a normal user.

Sandro

it's a student project

don't worry

just need a result

CodeX

so all you want to accomplish is to make a webserver ?

Bharadwaj Raju

@Sandro Still, best practices and the fact that most software is designed for sudo

A webserver is fairly simple

terdon

Like, how do you spell bureaucracy? Easy: bur[aeouiy]*cracy

@jokerdino A cop-out is (among other things) someone who choses the easy way out. So using a character class for spelling could be called a cop-out.

Wah, I expected something more.

Hello, and welcome to Ask Ubuntu! It is unclear what you are trying to do here. Can you add to your question what you are trying to ultimately achieve, and what you're trying to do? If your question is how to build Debian packages from source code, you may need to review the Ubuntu Packaging Guide to understand how Debian packages work. — Thomas Ward ♦ 41 secs ago

it'd be "Unclear what you're asking"

not offtopic

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Case in point any of my historic questions about how to create packages or packaging-related things

though those're mostly in IRC logs now

And 16.04.1 just came out.... so direct upgrade is now supported. — Android Dev 1 hour ago

@AndroidDev The upgrade path isn't opened yet. So direct upgrade without do-release-upgrade -d is not going to work. Hence why do-release-upgrade and teh GUI equivalents don't show 16.04 as an LTS-only upgrade target yet
