Seth

@Lucio Not that I know of..

@Rinzwind Prob.

Rinzwind

8:06 PM

then she should have said ESC/P :+)

Takkat

source code is immortal - can never be killed.

Rinzwind

some questions tick all the wrong buttons in my head >:D

Takkat

like "Do you really want to answer me? [NO][QUIT][CANCEL]"

Rinzwind

like "Do you really want to answer me? [:-(][>:D][:-]"

Takkat

8:23 PM

Cool - unity-mail notifies even when running GNOME classic.

Call me V

grr. can't seem to find the right qt api for grabbing continuous audio and examining slices concurrently

Takkat

gstreamer?

Rinzwind

ha I got another answer worth of some upvotes >:D

Call me V

@Takkat they have a simplified audio recording api in qtmobility. the part i can't find is save slice without stopping the recording.

Rinzwind

@CallmeV hmmm cant help you there; not my cup of cola

Call me V

8:27 PM

say, for example, to find word breaks based on "silence" so you can TTS with the google api without having to select when to stop recording

Takkat

no idea either.

Call me V

i'll figure it out or ask on SO

can't wait for the nexus7 to get here so i can see if the modified broadcom driver actually gets monitor mode and injection working. there are conflicting reports

Rinzwind

wth shutter only takes screenshots of my wallpaper

Call me V

are you using an oddball compositor?

Rinzwind

what was the keyboard option tag again???

@CallmeV unity. it worked last time I made a shot :P

Takkat

8:35 PM

shots never worked in my VMs but always on my bare metal.

Rinzwind

<kbd> found it

grrr

now I need to use print screen and edit the picture :(

Takkat

why?

Rinzwind

cuz shutter does not work :(

this is an image made with shutter where I have this chat open :*

I like my dragon lady but not THAT much >:)

Takkat

Boss key cant do better ;)

Rinzwind

hmmm bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shutter/+bug/1061001

Takkat

8:40 PM

seems ATI related.

Rinzwind

now did I update my driver :P
I probaly have ... but i am using an amd 6650m

I did update the driver cuz I added my external display :P hmmm

Takkat

gnome-screenshot not good enough?

Call me V

@Takkat all the way at the end of that thread someone notes it happening on an intel card too

gets mildly territorial about loving ati/amd

Takkat

<-- had a hard time some years ago with fglrx

Call me V

nods

Rinzwind

8:44 PM

@Takkat does whole desktop iirc?

Takkat

whatever you like: whole screen, selection, window, timed shot

Rinzwind

ah wait alt-printscreen

that will do for now :)

Takkat

Shift + PrtScrn lets you select an area.

Rinzwind

hmm all the upvoters went to bed >:D

4

me is in bed too >:D

Call me V

my bed is my desk. does that count?

Rinzwind

8:49 PM

ofcourse!

Takkat

My bed is my castle.

Rinzwind

question

Call me V

the bed is the dog's castle, i just work there

Rinzwind

is this correct--->

askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/107376

edit adds "install"

Call me V

no

Rinzwind

8:50 PM

did not think so but I started doubting

Call me V

i can try it in a vm in a few minutes

but i'm pretty sure it's not

Rinzwind

Hmmm they both seem to exist
So lets do a googlefight

Takkat

apt-get --purge does not work. I think the edit is correct

Rinzwind

cool.

BUT...

googlefight.com/…

Call me V

fair enough. i couldn't get it to let me interrupt/not accept the eula on raring

Rinzwind

8:52 PM

purge won >:D

Takkat

purge != --purge

Rinzwind

:D

I cheated ;)

Takkat

YO

Did you understand what they want to do?

Rinzwind

LO

:D

Takkat

Can Ubuntu make code on OS or either with writing?

Or write the Desktop code in mobile with Ubuntu as Python?

Call me V

8:57 PM

I have no idea what you're asking...

Rinzwind

dunno >:D
I got confused

@CallmeV see askubuntu.com/questions/280822/…

Takkat

You confused me.

Rinzwind

we are 1 confused bunch :=)

Takkat

All bunch in 1

Call me V

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ. <-- close-vote reason for this: askubuntu.com/questions/280822/…

Rinzwind

8:59 PM

lol

@CallmeV if a mod sees you post that he might close the chat >:D

guntbert

@Rinzwind don't you underestimate them? (a little at least?) :D

Call me V

I think what was being asked was "Can you develop in pygi from a mobile", but I couldn't really say.

Takkat

They edited something away...

Rinzwind

@guntbert no I believe some are funny and would do that for fun >:D

we can dupe itwith this: askubuntu.com/questions/235369/…

Takkat

They edited the phones part out.

Call me V

9:03 PM

okay. whatever you want to do. in the original revision it was narq as far as i could tell. the edit completely changed the question

Takkat

Still is NARQ imo

Rinzwind

sure did and I agree with takkat

Call me V

yeah. agreed. yes or no questions aren't really qa format either.

Takkat

beddy bye here BBT

Rinzwind

bye Takkat

A: Community Promotion Ads - 2013

Suhaib

sorry for the noob question.Is it possible to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.10 through terminal ?

without upgrading to 12.04 and then running the command again

Seth

@Suhaib I don't think so.

Zignd

Yep ;)

Q: Ubuntu 12.04 stalling after GRUB screen

Since the last update, each time I start my laptop, 12.04 gets as far as the grub menu, then I get the black screen. Rebooting then starts the system. Its is happening too frequently to be ignored. Any solutions?

12.04

Dupe to the black screen question?

Zignd

This is probably a duplicate.

Seth

That's what I was thinking.. but wasn't sure.

Zignd

Just need to find the FIRST question

I also don't like those kind of questions, because I don't know if it should be closed because is very specific or if it's a duplicate or if it's a bug.

Seth

Exactly.

I was thinking maybe:

Q: My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?

I am trying to boot Ubuntu on my computer. When I boot my computer it boots to a black screen. How can I fix this? Table of Contents: If you are trying to install Ubuntu If you have a dual boot system If an update or something else caused your problem

11:31 PM

@Seth Great choice, it's comunity wiki (so will never get outdated), and have great answers.

Seth

Yes.. Not sure that's the exact problem but doesn't hurt to try.

Zignd

Well this question solves a lot of different problems, so there is a big chance to be right.

Seth

Yes there is..

I'll leave a comment.

Jorge Castro

If a question is CW it doesn't mean it won't be out of date

Whart I do is usually give it a once over when I dupe something to it

Seth

Once over?

@JorgeCastro Do you know if we have a question about installing Openstack?

Q: Error installing openstack, is there a beginners guide to installing openstack on ubuntu?

I am currently using the textbook "Openstack Cloud Computing Cookbook 2012" for a cloud computing class. Me and most of the class have not been able to get past the first chapter, as there is an error when trying to run a first instance at the beginning of chapter 1. This error is shown as the st...

Q: How do I install and deploy an OpenStack cloud?

I'd like to get a test cloud up and running in preparation for a possible deployment of 12.04. I messed with the UEC a bit, but have had a much harder time finding anything helpful as a primer for the new stack. There is generic documentation on Diablo, but there are likely to be a lot of pieces ...
