or just start a new room for it
We did that for testing our bot
 
@MarkYisri as a general rule, if you want a bot, put it where it doesn't bother anyone else. So make a new room for it.
 
@Zacharee1 you have been using GitHub, how do you push changes from the command line?
Okay, thanks @terdon
 
@MarkYisri git push
 
no idea
I use it online
 
thanks again @terdon
 
3:03 PM

@SeverusTux okay ... but it won't be less than 99 I guess ! :D
 
Participated in 24Hr Hackathon conducted by NASSCOM .
Saturday-Sunday
 
@SeverusTux wow ! :)
 
Oh... man :D Getting " linux-4.8.4-1 " today :D
 
@SeverusTux hard to believe we're at 4.8 already
 
3:19 PM
@MarkYisri today's update on arch
 
@SeverusTux I am having 4.8 since October, 13th ! :)
@SeverusTux hahaha ... ubuntu beats arch on that this time ! :D
 
nah..
 
@Zacharee1 want to come over to the CoyoteBot room? chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/47256/the-coyotes-den
 
I believe its 4.8.1 you are using @cl-netbox
 
@ParanoidPanda yes I used it on 16.04 ... in the moment I am back to ambiance on 16.10 ... :)
 
3:22 PM
If you'd like to be a collaborator on the CoyoteBot project, please send me an email at yisrimark@gmail.com or tell me here and we'll make arrangements
The system used for hosting is Cloud9

@MarkYisri What can your bot be used for ? noob question maybe ... I know ... :D
 
@cl-netbox Good question.
I'm not sure what I'll use it for yet. But I am open to ideas from the public
 
@SeverusTux make it code
 
3:25 PM
See if you can see this link: ide.c9.io/markyisri65/coyotebot
 
Hi terdon ! :)
 
hey :)
 
@terdon hi :) how to do that ? Ctrl+k ? " `` " ? 4spaces ?
 
@SeverusTux nice ASCII!
 
@SeverusTux 4 spaces. But when you paste a multiline string in chat, you get a "fixed font" button on the right, next to the "upload" one. Click on it.
 
3:28 PM
checkout "cowsay" command. seems like everyone here knows it. I came across it now.
@terdon okay. thanks :)
 
@SeverusTux cowsay command?
 
sudo apt-get install cowsay
 
@Zacharee1 you have an invite to see the code in action

@MarkYisri @SeverusTux What about sudo apt install hollywood ? :D
 
i'll try it now
 
hi. I want to compile and use PIL 1.1.7 (because pillow as a bug triggered in GAE). but the setup file does even find jpeg or png support. I got this: paste.ubuntu.com/23370115
 
let me check AUR
@cl-netbox are you sure about the command ?
not in Arch repos.
 
@SeverusTux yes of course ! :)
@SeverusTux but in ubuntu repos ! :)
 
3:34 PM
@SeverusTux : apt policy hollywood

Oh.. I need to wait to install it. kernel update going on.
@cl-netbox hm.. needs many deps. what does it do ? ascii pictures ?

@SeverusTux byobu is great - I once recommeded it to you ... and here you can read something about hollywood -> blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/05/…
@SeverusTux It is more a fun kind of thing ... here is the source : github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood
 
4:03 PM
@MarkYisri have you tried this :
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
 
4:27 PM
yowsup
 
@SeverusTux interesting
Anyone know of an easy to retarget C compiler?
or assembler?
I'm working on a project and I want to retarget an assembler/compiler for a different architecture?
 
I just saw a Verizon ad saying to buy the Google Pixel, "only on Verizon"
 
4:52 PM
@solsTiCe I am pretty certain you didn't get prerequisite libraries, is there documentation for PIL 1.1.7 and installing and it's prerequisites?

@edwinksl love that :)
 
5:43 PM
nevermind.
 
6:05 PM
Yawn good morning
and what do we have here, my inbox is full
err
whats coyotebot?
 
@edwinksl That's great!
 
@Zacharee1 lol, don't buy it from version buy it from google only :P
Verizon sucks
 
@Zacharee1 Verizon is the only carrier Google is working with, but you can still by it unlocked from the Google store.
 
I saw one of those Windows phones in a mobile store
waiting for 10:00 so I can YELL AT LG.

Q: Partition empty when connection Iphone 7 in Ubuntu 16.04

FranGoitia I'm trying to connect the Iphone 7 to Ubuntu 16.04. Apparently it has no problem mounting the device, but the partition seems to be empty, there are no folders and I can't access my photos or transfer music. I did give it permission to trust the computer in the Iphone. Thanks

 
I'm installing frickin LFS
Why? I don't know
 
@AndroidDev lolz
 
Why are all these questions so noobish?
 
6:19 PM
@DmitryKudriavtsev Pixel cause the better CPU and amazing camera.
@DmitryKudriavtsev Good question.
 
Notenoughresearch.
 
It's $250 more though. Is the CPU and camera really worth $250?
 
and probably newbies are plaguing askubuntu, doing no research whatsoever.
Erm
whai am I signed in to chat and not askubuntu
 
@DmitryKudriavtsev It's a hard choice, I'll admit. Because the OP3 has a second SIM slot and an SD card reader. But then the Pixel's Snapdragon 821 is supposedly 40% more energy efficient, and you are always the first to get the Android updates...
 
OP3 does not actually have a SD card reader.
 
6:22 PM
My watch has snapdragon :D
 
I also don't want to spend so much money.
 
@DmitryKudriavtsev Oh, I could've sworn it had a multi-purpose SIM tray.
 
That was the OP1/2
 
@DmitryKudriavtsev Then get a brand new sealed in box Nexus 5 on ebay for $165 and flash a custom ROM.
 
I also want a semi-fast CPU and NFC
 
6:24 PM
@DmitryKudriavtsev The Nexus 5's Snapdragon 800 is pretty zippy, and it has NFC.
 
800. hmm
Does it have quick charge?
Only 16gb no deal
 
@DmitryKudriavtsev USB OTG to the rescue.
 
My android wear has Qualcomm snapdragon but I don't know what it does.
i know it's a processor
 
@AndroidDev Doesnt matter still cant store apps on a flashdrive
 
but idk what the features of snapdragon does.
 
6:26 PM
@Edity Your smartwatch is a tiny ARM based computer! Congratulations
 
@DmitryKudriavtsev :D
 
It's running a slimmed down version of Android with a custom skin!
 
@DmitryKudriavtsev If you need 12+ GB of apps, you should be using your laptop.
 
@edwinksl I actually petted a Cheetah once...
Awesome! You can actually feel their black spots!
 
If you need a slim version of android, Get a moto 360.
 
6:28 PM
@AndroidDev Hearthstone, Facebook, Messenger, my music collection and some photos, together with all my other apps
Takes upp all the space on my iPhone 4S
 
You play Hearthstone?!?
 
O_0
 
It's like 3GB after updates
 
yeah.
Anyways time to yell at LG.
 
6:29 PM
why?
 
WISH ME LUCK
my watch kept turning off automatically
its annoying
 
 
1 hour later…
7:32 PM
Sweet now all I need is a outdoor camera...
and not a web cam
 
Nope....raspberry pi.
or was the go pro a suggetion
 
I need something like...
 
like what?
 
then get that
 
I want something that is a little higher then 1mp though...
looks like that i about my only choice...
 
8:15 PM
@Fabby woah i never came that close to one ever
 
anyone feeling generous with CVs? askubuntu.com/questions/405537/…
 
8:31 PM
many thanks ^_^
 
:D
 
8:46 PM
Hey @Zanna sorry I was frustrated yesterday in Close Review!
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix no problem :)
 
@Zanna Thanks for forgiving me!
 
have you seen our meta post? meta.askubuntu.com/questions/16236/…
 
I can't join close review until tonight though because of the 24 hour limit. No I haven't seen that link but I'll read it now.
 
at the moment we are at the end of a batch of questions - we uploaded the first thousand and we are trying to clear the last 100 or so tricky ones - most of these don't have upvotable answers and many need to be closed imho, so we are sending more traffic than usual to the queue
if you don't want to review them, please take full advantage of my best friend in review, the button ;)
 
9:02 PM
@Zanna I do use the <kbd>Skip</kbd> button when I have no knowledge on the subject matter but I can't help myself from jumping up and down in excitement when I know the answer :D
Hmm... no keyboard key highlighting??? Anyway I posted an answer on your link.
 
I made that button with this structure [tag:button]
it's supposed to be for tags, but works for buttons
I downvoted your answer and commented. Please don't take the downvote personally - it's just disagreement
and really I should raise it with @Zacharee1
it's far more important imho that stuff that needs to be closed gets closed than that the queue comes down
I appreciate his efforts to motivate folks to review
and I am very grateful to folks who review
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix the age of a question is not a problem per se
 
it's awesome that the queue went down due to @Zacharee1's challenge
but the size of the queue is a symptom, not a problem
 
@edwinksl We want to clean up questions that people are going to see first I think. So if it's a question about a Compaq 386 using Ubuntu 9.0 (whatever) pretty much no one will see it today.
 
the problem is not enough people doing review (if there is a problem)
 
9:09 PM
@Zanna I agree... perhaps points should be awarded for review... Like I know many people did edits to gain points but after you hit 2000 you get none.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix that's fine, if you're not interested in cleaning up old queues, then please skip and review what you prefer to spend your votes on
 
rep for doing reviews has been debated ad nauseam in MSE
the consensus is no, and i agree
 
but it would be extremely difficult for me to adjust the timing of my cleanup efforts to periods when the queue is small @WinEunuuchs2Unix
I strongly agree, no rep for review is right
and since people can skip, I don't see a problem
 
@Zanna I want to be a team player and help out the best I can in the old queue too.
 
:)
 
9:12 PM
That's why I suggested have old queue in a separate section with a separate 20 day maximum.
@edwinksl then why are their points for suggested edits (2 points each) until the user hits 2000?
I've seen suggested edits changing "Im" to "I'm" which is just plain silly way of making 2 points.
 
I think it's too much to have another queue.... I already spend a big part of my day doing review...
 
@Zanna are you saying you aren't limited to 20 votes per day per queue review like I am?
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix my take is that you get rep for things that can be peer reviewed
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix the person proposing the edit gets +2, not the person approving the edit
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix I am, but it takes me a long time :(
 
9:15 PM
i am not sure how that is relevant to your suggestion that "points should be awarded for review"
 
@edwinksl I guess my point is they will suggest an edit for points sake not for the worthyfulness of the suggested edit until they hit 2,000 and after that they loose interest. It's human nature.
 
reviewing can't be meaningfully peer reviewed, so open to abuse if rep is given
 
(no pun intended on "my point" phrase)
 
GRR
 
@Zanna agreed, which is why I suggest taking away 2 points for suggested edit... give a nice shiny gold badge instead after 100.
(no pun intended at "suggest")
 
9:17 PM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix we can argue about this but this is irrelevant to awarding rep for reviews. you have to remember the difference between the person proposing something that gets reviewed and the person doing the review
 
but suggested edits are peer reviewed...
I reject them if they are really trivial
 
I've been chastised for saying what you just said.
 
everyone has a different idea of what a trivial edit is
 
After that I approved every proposed comma and period and capital letter.
 
hahaha
 
9:20 PM
o/
 
Hi Nathan.
 
folks have different views as @edwinksl says on how to review edits
hi @NathanOsman
 
(I'm so mad)
 
Indeed the faster the person gets to 2,000 points the sooner his/her trivial edit suggestions will go away so it behooves me to speed it up.
 
hahaha
 
9:21 PM
(You're allowed to be crazy @Edity because there are no knives in this room)
 
I think I err on the side of generous sometimes, and improve a lot of edits I possibly should have rejected
 
/me puts his sharp objects away...
 
In this room it's not "death from a thousand knives" it's "death from a thousand bytes" :D
 
but I think editing is really helpful, even if people are just trying and drawing attention to posts in need of editing it's helping the site
and +2 is a pretty minuscule rep-gain
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix do keep in mind that 2 rep is nothing much. whoever wants to get to 2k via just edits will have to put in a lot of time. i don't get nightmares with giving out +2 more easily than what someone else would prefer
 
9:23 PM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix rim shot please.
 
now I can edit at will, I make all kinds of rather trivial edits, so I am inclined to approve minor ones if I would have bothered to make them myself
 
For me, I let a lot of posts slide when I was <2000 and could have suggested edits to make 2 points... But I'm cut from a different cloth I guess, I made 25 points 4 times today solving questions with answers.
@edwinksl I feel the same way as you now :)
 
I just do it for the badges...
 
sure, nobody can edit everything :)
it's a community effort
 
@Zanna I am pretty close to editing everything :=P
 
9:25 PM
and if you can answer instead, then rock on
 
@TheXed Yeah I just learned yesterday you get badges at review hitting 100 so I did all my "first posts" "late posts" stuff I've ignored over the last fornight in favour of close votes only.
I maxed out all my queues :D
 
Also, you can only get 1000 total rep from editing, so it's impossible to reach 2k just by editing, ftr
@WinEunuuchs2Unix wow, awesome ^_^
thanks for your epic efforts reviewing & answering...
 
TY.. yeah you can only get 200 total rep points a day as well... so this morning I was thinking "please don't accept until tomorrow"...LOL
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix lol there is sharp things.... the sharp thing is me being whacked by a banhammer.
 
It's funny at many stores they offer me a points card, and I say "no thanks I don't believe in points"...LMAO.
 
9:29 PM
Prepare for crazyness
AHHHHHHH LG
YOU PIECE OF USELESS CRAP
 
@Edity Yeah I've been banned so many times I've lost count... I just write it off as my political enemies have spies everywhere with <kbd>Ban</kbd> keys.
Even Twitter banned me as being a robot and typing too fast.
 
WHY DO YOU NOT APPLY OVERSEAS WARRENTIES...
ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH
IM SO MAR THAT I WANT TO BLOW THEIR HQ UP
 
Grey Market stuff.... price points are different... warranty voided.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix what are you selling on the grey market?
 
@TheXed I'm the one that gets sold... I don't need to sell anything... It is Edity that bought something cheap from overseas and discovered his warranty is void.
 
9:37 PM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix oh I will give you 5 bucks for you.
 
@TheXed I'm frugal, I'm not cheap!!!!
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix I am frugal too...
 
Nope if you want to buy me for 5 bucks instead of 5 billion you and your backers are CHEAP!@!!!
Even the last guy offered $100 million from his backers to get me to quit smoking.
 
9:52 PM
Anyone got rickrolled?
 
it is a great song
 
@NathanOsman have you seen this snapdrop.net
It is like a webpage version of nitroshare
 
10:17 PM
I think I might have seen that.
Don't worry. I have something similar planned.
 
since bloody when does git send my changes to files by itself ?
 
It isn't supposed to.
 
Well, I don't know how but the changes i made to udisks indicator , which were just for testing purposes, found its way into update somehow
 
good evening
 
I don't recall committing any changes to remote , so . . . there's some git config , or somebody is messing with me
 
10:25 PM
guys, I'm trying to make a shortcut to a bash that doesn't store the commands in the history file, just when I want to run quick errands without filling the file with unnecessary stuff
I thought about creating a keyboard shortcut for the command HISTFILE='' bash or maybe sh -c "HISTFILE='' bash
and creating an alias too
but it doesn't seem to work, actually I didn't manage to make any custom shortcut work (not even writing /bin/bash to Command).. Do I have to enable it?
 
i think it should be done via .inputrc . . . but not sure

A: Keyboard shortcuts don't work

SergYour gnome-settings-daemon isn't starting on boot, for some reason. The workaround to that is to add gnome-settings-daemon to Startup Applications or add it as a .desktop entry, into /home/yourusername/.config/autostart/ directory. The .desktop entry could be named gnome-settings-daemon.desktop a...

I just noticed the daemon isn't up, maybe it is the cause?

Q: How to change previous/next word shortcut in bash?

ripper234How do I configure Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right as previous/next word shortcuts for bash (currently alt-b and alt-f)?

 
weird that that would still be an issue on 16.04..
 
@IanC well ,where did you set that shortcut first of all ? If you only want it for bash, use the question i linked just now . If you want it to be global for all apps, use the one with gnome-settings-daemon
If you're using unity, then check if unity-settings-daemon is running
 
10:33 PM
unity-settings is up, no unity-settings-daemon. I just set it through System Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts
I want it to be global, so I can open terminal like Ctrl+Alt+T but for a terminal that doesn't store the history, like Ctrl+Super+T or something else
I tried adding it in the custom shortcuts, with the command sh -c HISTFILE="" bash (was not sure if I could just use HISTFILE="" bash) but it didn't work
I tried something like /bin/bash just for testing and it didn't work neither
I've seem a guy that got it to work by logging out and back in after setting the shortcut, I'll try that
 
hold on, ill need to reinstall gnome-terminal
 
user136984
Well, goodnight folks! :)
 
@IanC what you want to do is a wrapper script , which will have export HISTFILE="" on one line, and on the other exec gnome-terminal
 
user136984
I finished watching the Third US Presidential debate earlier today... Awful stuff...
 
user136984
Hope neither of them get in! :D
 
10:42 PM
@IanC this
#!/bin/bash
export HISTFILE=""
exec gnome-terminal -e bash
 
Have you opened chrome this session?
 
uh . . . .i am in chrome right now @Mateo
proxylist.hidemyass.com is still blank
Guys, I think HMA got screw'd
 
@Serg "HMA"?
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix hidemyass.com , that's a VPN and proxy service. I've been using their proxy time to time, but their proxy list has been blank for 2 days already , which kind of smells bad news
 
It's so unfair I worked hard to get most points for week (ok it's only Sunday) and I've only just tied Anwar but he's shows as first place... I think new losers.. um err I mean users... like me should be in first place when there is a tie. askubuntu.com/users?tab=Reputation&filter=week
@Serg lots of companies go out of business every day.
 
10:50 PM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix no, this is not something unusual.
 
first you say bad news, then you say it's not unusual... which one is it?
oh wait... you said "no" "not" "unusual", let me get my xor calculator out :)
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix you're forgetting that English ain't my first language. What I mean to say is that their list being blank for two days already is something suspicious.
Bad
 
@Serg Logging off didn't work for the shortcut :/
My first thought was a wrapper, but I thought I could do it in an even easier way (alias + unity shortcuts)
 
@Serg ain't ain't a word :)
On the other had isn't is a word.... My good deed for the day to ESL (English as a Second Language)...hehe
 
ain't is a word, just not an official one maybe? :p
I mean, slangs are words, some even find their way into official dictionaries, just informal language
 
10:59 PM
Ahh, nice ramen
 
It is a word, of type contraction, informal
