nice tool right there
@hbdgaf i know you would expect another lasagne :)
 
mm, lasagna.
 
Hrm...trying to figure out how to get the root element of a BeautifulSoup object ... 'tain't going well :P
 
@Fabby Sorry about that, haven't logged in in a few days. I've set up my MAAS cluster controller, but now am having trouble pxe booting. It's enabled, but my nodes are returning 'No boot filename recieved'
 
Here's a course for @ParanoidPanda Data analysis in Python with Pandas :D
 
12:19 AM
@Lucio that's pretty badass
@Seth There are plenty of good books, and there's a marginally good series from sentdex over on youtube... no need for a 100 usd course
^^ also - unlikely but cute spooning
 
12:33 AM
Well...I've got the GUI in basic working order. But for that perturbing formatting bug, I'd have a stable release to push :P
Attachments and everything.
 
12:52 AM
T.T the only spooning I'm gonna get is from my dog.
 
@hbdgaf It was just a joke about the pandas part.. @ParanoidPanda is kind of pandas about pandas ;)
 
@Serg Dogs are the best. Even famous people have that problem. Rachael Ray frequently talks about her inordinately large dog on air...
 
@hbdgaf I don't mind dogs. I just wish I was less single <. < Whining about such things is normal from me

Git/GitHub is amazing :D
 
The stuff that linus created is amazing in general :)

Q: Startup Application with unknown source

SergAfter update to 15.04 I have abiword starting by itself upon login to GNOME or Unity. It does not happen in openbox or blackbox. How do I prevent this application from starting without removing the application itself ? I do not have abiword added to Startup Application, nor to .config/autostart...

@hbdgaf The bank itself just got a fine? No one got their illegal gains confiscated and thrown into the slammer???
That's called "corruption" in the dictionary I use... ;-)
@Hellreaver No worries: there are a few MAAS experts here on the site, so just ask a question and tag it "MAAS" and give the background that you're building a disparate cluster to re-use old hardware.
 
8:00 AM
@Fabby I think the answer to this is probably no, but just in case: I've two lists of .desktop files in my home folder. For example ~/listofapps.txt , which is filled with list of .desktop files. Could this be the cause of abiword acting up ?
 
Tim
@Serg doubt it
 
@Tim yeah, i think so too. Maybe my abiword just gone crazy

Guys, remember that article omg ubuntu article from 2011: [How to] Beautify Thunderbird in Ubuntu? Well if you do, you remember he had a file on ubuntuone webservice that had the userchrome.css. but, that now is down. Question is: Who has still the "TB-userChrome.tar.gz" file?
Can't seem to find it anywhere!

Q: It is off-topic now, but it wasn't then, so do I vote to close?

Paranoid PandaI have recently (after reaching 3k and unlocking the ability to cast close and reopen votes) noticed that a lot of questions that were not off-topic when they were originally asked are being flagged up now. So really my question is, if for instance somebody has asked a question about Ubuntu 13.10...

12:17 PM
@blade19899: Do you know Винни-Пух?
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: How about you, do you know Винни-Пух?
 
Morning.
@ParanoidPanda What? I don't understand Russian. Or are you still talking about Winnie the Pooh?
 
user136984
Eta Винни-Пух, Ne Angliski pooh!
 
user136984
(My Russian keyboard is failling so I am having to type how it sounds, but written in English.)
 
You want to make fun of me?
 
user136984
12:21 PM
@ByteCommander: What?!
 
Only russian words I understand are Wodka and Durak. And both not if they're written in Kyrillic letters...
 
user136984
Винни-Пух is the Russian Whinnie the poo.
 
@ByteCommander spasibo?
 
user136984
And he is much better than the English version!
 
@Rinzwind Wut's that?
 
12:23 PM
en do svidanya?
@ByteCommander "thanks"
 
@ParanoidPanda Only know the German Pooh anyway...
 
user136984
:D
 
"do svidanya" is "bye"
 
Spasibo is thanks? Sounds more like a curse word...
 
user136984
 
12:25 PM
O.O
 
user136984
@Fabby: Do you think that it is a good idea for me to change my name here to "Винни-Пух"? Or is that just going to really confuse every one? And with that I will also probably have to change my picture to Винни-Пух! ;D :P
 
user136984
Probably the main problem will be that people will find it rather hard to ping me... :P
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Do you think that that will be a problem?
 
user136984
:D
 
YES!
Don't do it.
Btw...
 
12:30 PM
@ParanoidPanda all I need to do is type a B and use autocomplete.
 
user136984
I'm sure that people can just copy and paste the name, or get a Russian keyboard...
 
user136984
@Rinzwind: :D :D :D
 
Do you know any provider of disposable mail addresses that is not recognized by facebook as bad?
hmamail does not get accepted... :(
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Why would I know that?
 
@ParanoidPanda sure... (finger touching forehead)
 
user136984
12:31 PM
And why do you need to use a disposable mail account anyway?
 
Because I h8 FB.
But I need it for a month to participate in a special group...
 
user136984
h8?
 
hate.
 
user136984
Oh... :D
 
And after that time it should vanish.
 
user136984
12:33 PM
It would be good if people could have different usernames in different languages...
 
user136984
So that I could have an English one here, and a Russian one too...
 
user136984
So that people can ping me with both...
 
That would just be confusing...
 
user136984
But it would help people with Винни-Пух! :D
 
@ByteCommander they do not accept gmail?
 
12:38 PM
@ParanoidPanda Eh, that looks like the username of a user here?
Winnie the pooh
DuckDuckGo to the rescue: Винни-Пух at DuckDuckGo
 
@ParanoidPanda they already can. The "B" will show english names beginning with a B and the Russian names beginning with a russian В. Same already works for Japanese and Chinese chars: if you type the 1st letter of that name it will pop up a list of names
 
I see you guys also figured that one out xD
 
user136984
@Rinzwind: The funny thing will be how people will decide to pronounce "Винни-Пух"... :D
 
user136984
@Serg: Using the command IFS="|"; for filename in $(find ~/testdir -type f -printf "%p|");do xxd -b $filename | awk '{ for (i=2;i<NF;i++){ if (i<=6) printf "%s ", $i }; printf"\n" }';done | tee ~/test.txt, how would I also get it to remove spaces between the numbers?
 
user136984
@kos: Do you have any idea? :)
 
12:48 PM
@Rinzwind I have one.
Signed up to a provider for throwaway-addresses who redirects mails.
Oh my is that FB startpage ugly... >:P

How can I convert extremely large Binary values to Decimal? Is there an Ubuntu calculator which will allow me to do this and show me the actual answer and not just how many times I need to times it by ten to get there?
 
user136984
Oh wait...
 
user136984
No, it's fine, I found this page! :D
 
user136984
2:39 PM
How come nothing had been upgraded for a while?
 
user136984
Like literally now for a few days when running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, there have been no upgrades available...
 
user136984
Has everybody taken a break or something?
 
I just had one for PyCharm... but that's not Ubuntu main repo, I think.
@ParanoidPanda Just sit back and relax to some great music! :D
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Ok! :D
 
user136984
2:46 PM
Great! I just figured out how to crash my browser and drain my CPU cores! ;D >:)
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Do you know how that's done? :P
 
@ParanoidPanda No, and I don't want to try...
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: You try to get it to convert an insanely large binary value to decimal... :P
 
Aha.
No.
 
user136984
Eventually all that did was crash flash!
 
user136984
2:48 PM
And didn't actually give me the result!
 
user136984
:D

You're rhyming again.
Do I have to put you back in a room with Closey and Nordehinhu?
:D
Until you finished you panda poetry phase...
;)
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: It was only "crash" and "flash" that rhymed though wasn't it? :D
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: But don't you remember how that ended up (me in that other room talking to bots)?
 
user136984

user136984
@ByteCommander: This is the value that I wish to convert: pastebin.ubuntu.com/11351458
 
user136984
Do you have any idea how I could go about converting that without crashing something?
 
user136984
2:56 PM
Or at least without crashing something so much that it doesn't actually give me a result at the end? :D

Howdy people
my first time here
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Ok, well, I have posted a question about it here anyway, so I hope that somebody finds an answer! :D
 
@ParanoidPanda Maybe you can split it up and multiply the partial results with their respective binary offset and then sum them up?
@Simone Welcome! :)
 
user136984
@Simone: Your first time where? In this chat room? In the chat rooms? On AskUbuntu? Where? :D
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Yes, that was a possibility which I was contemplating, but it would be nice if I could find a tool that would do that for me, or if somebody would be nice enough to write a script for me that would do that! ;D
 
3:20 PM
@ParanoidPanda aahahhahah you make me paranoid...my first time here in "ask ubuntu"
 
@ParanoidPanda DIY
 
user136984
@Simone: "paranoic"?
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Oh come on, don't be like that! :D :P
 
You already got a comment.
 
@ByteCommander nice bug!
 
3:22 PM
It's not a bug, it's a feature! :D
(I know you mean the beetle...)
 
:D
@ByteCommander my apologize, I'm italian and the english is not something that I can use to brag
 
No no, bug is also right.
It just also means error in IT language...
But it is the same as beetle.
 
argh!
 
Just made a joke of the double meaning...
 
:/ is really frustrating not being able to understand these jokes
It's frustrating too using google translator all the time
 
user136984
3:32 PM
@Simone: What does Google Translate make of "Винни-Пух"?
 
user136984
@Mateo: Do you like Винни-Пух?

ahahahah
 
user136984
@Simone: Well, the Russian one, which is the best one in the world! @Fabby: Don't you agree? :D

@ByteCommander: Oh dear, where is @Fabby today?
 
user136984
Vote to close.
 
3:36 PM
why the best one?
 
user136984
@Simone: You would know if you saw... :D
 
user136984
@Simone: I can't describe it to you through just telling you, you have to see it for yourself! :D
 
@ParanoidPanda already did man...
it's ...plagiarism or what? :D
 
user136984
How is it plagiarism?!
 
user136984
@Simone: Винни-Пух has now officially declared war on you! >:)
 
3:39 PM
:D
 
user136984
Plagiarism is where you steal an idea and pretend it is your own.
 
user136984
Винни-Пух is not that.
 
Why do have discussions about Pooh go that far... shaking had sadly
 
@ByteCommander agree!

You people make no sense today... :D :P

Somebody flagged @Simone's message
 
user136984
Which one?
 
Adi
The one that was just removed
 
user136984
Oh...
 
user136984
3:43 PM
Ok
 
Adi
Why else would you think an LH mod would be here? (CC @Mooseman)
 
user136984
@Adi: LH?
 
user136984
Laughing Hard?
 
@Adi Trying to read back a bit. Hang on.
 
Adi
Honestly, I didn't find the message offensive.
Whoever flagged it was just being silly
 
user136984
3:44 PM
@Adi: Why did you remove it then?
 
Adi
@ParanoidPanda I did not.. ahhh
 
user136984
Oh...
 
user136984
Then who did?
 
user136984
:D
 
Adi
I don't know!
Even mods don't know
(I think)
 
user136984
3:45 PM
Maybe @Simone removed it.
 
Adi
Maybe, maybe.
 
I removed it, but after reading context it doesn't appear to have been rude. I undid the automatic chat suspension so @Simone should be able to talk again.
Feel free to ping me if you need anything.
 
user136984
@Adi: But seriously, what does LH stand for?
 
@ParanoidPanda Lifehacks
 
user136984
Oh...
 
user136984
3:46 PM
Right, I don't really go to that site, so it didn't ring a bell...
 
Adi
@Mooseman Why did you overstep the democratic process and remove it yourself?
 
I was away
 
Adi
The community hasn't yet decided if it offensive or not, and then you went and removed it yourself
 
what happened?
 
user136984
@Mooseman: Cool name by the way! :)
 
Adi
3:48 PM
aaand, chat-suspending @Simone
without checking the context
 
user136984
Ooops!
 
Adi
That abuse of mod power isn't cool
 
user136984
Didn't mean to call you @Moo!
 
user136984
Sorry! :D
 
@adi seriously???
:D
 
3:49 PM
@Adi That was automatic after the message was deleted. The message, outside of context is most commonly rude. I did, however, check the context before leaving.
 
the cool thing is that I have not noticed
ahahahahah
 
@ParanoidPanda lol thanks :)
 
@ParanoidPanda Moo? A Moose is not a cow.
 
Adi
Yup. Somebody flagged your message and at that point it was up to the community to decided if it's offensive or not. @Mooseman decided on his own that it's offensive
 
@ParanoidPanda np ;)
 
Adi
3:50 PM
He should have let the normal process take its course
 
@Adi The normal process is for a mod to review the flag.
 
Adi
High ranking members of this chat room were notified of this flag as well
 
user136984
@Simone: You see, I told you that Винни-Пух had declared war on you, although I didn't realise that his army would actually arrive so soon and take action! :D :P
 
Adi
Those members know @Simone more than you
and know the context better than you
 
@ParanoidPanda ahahahahha for real!
 
user136984
3:51 PM
:D
 
@Adi w...what?
@Adi this is my first time here
 
Adi
@Simone People who were in the conversion/room before @Mooseman arrived know the context better
 
ah ok
 
Adi
An outside mod shouldn't go suspend people all over the place without properly checking context, which he did after suspending you
 
user136984
@Adi: Because it was undone, will it still go on @Simone's record?
 
Adi
3:53 PM
@ParanoidPanda I'm not aware of any such records
Heh. Now whoever has his Beta launched can go around and pretend to be a mod for all chat rooms across the network.
 
@Adi I did not apply a suspension to @Simone. This was automatic for having a message removed.
 
Adi
@Mooseman It was a direct result of your action, and you knew it would happen
 
user136984
@Adi: One of the mods in this chat room once told me of such a record.
 
Adi
If you didn't know, then it's even worse.
 
user136984
Apparently everything is logged.
 
user136984
3:55 PM
But perhaps as it was automatic it doesn't get put on a record, especially as it was undone.
 
user136984
@Simone: But in future you'll know not to mess with Винни-Пух! >:P
 
@Adi Look. I'm not having this argument. Everything is now how it should be. Feel free to ping me for any legitimate needs.
 
Adi
I think you're needed on LH more than here. Goodbye.
 
@ParanoidPanda :P sure
Now I go out, do not blame the administrator for this! :D
 
Should we close this as dupe? askubuntu.com/questions/628035/… The dupe Q is slightly outdated though...
 
3:56 PM
see you, have a nice day
 
user136984
@Simone: Bye! :)
 
Same topic, but only until 13.04 raring, while the new is about 14.10 Utopic.
 
user136984
@Fabby: You've been missing all the fun here! Someone just got chat-banned for insulting Винни-Пух! :D
 
I would say CV as dupe and trying to get an actualized answer for the older Q would be better, but of course more work than just leaving both as they are...

user136984
4:17 PM
Oh dear...
 
So what?
it popped up in the review queue, so I reviewed.
Okay, I could (should?) have chosen "no comment", but It is no answer.
 
The last two comments were completely unnecessary. Please don't add duplicate or similar comments if there's already one addressing the issue.
That's all :)
 
Hmm...
Yes, maybe. I felt like adding one as I thought the current comments are different from my view of the problem...
 
user136984
@Seth: Sorry, I just quickly read the existing comment, and the answer, and decided to do as I did! I thought you see that because I chose basically the same action as the first guy that it would just upvote his comment... I did not realise it would post a new comment!
 
OMG! Where did YouTube's Autoplay function get me to? I wanted to listen to Serious Black and not youtube.com/watch?v=MsqVgOSsCJo!
 
4:21 PM
@Seth they probably didn't... looks like an automatically added one
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: :D :D :D
 
user136984
Yeah, that's why I turned that feature off!
 
user136984
:D
 
It is nice if it stays with the same artist or at least type of music.

Q: Suggestion - Add a request for additional hardware information to close votes

bodhi.zazenCurrently when using close votes there are a number of suggestions (as you know). I would like to suggest a close vote to request hardware information. For example, Microphone Volume changing randomly It is not really possible to answer the question without a lot of more detailed information (...

 
But if you let it play for a while and look where you landed, sometimes those are just "Oh God!" moments...
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Yes, exactly why I turned that feature off! :D

user136984

@ByteCommander: But if you are going to have autoplay enabled, then you've got to be able to live with "Oh my god" moments! :D
 
Yes, but I pushed it back to the right path! youtube.com/watch?v=VTW30Q4B3Go :D
Why do you repost my links?
 
@Rinzwind the only automatic comments are the duplicate comments, you have to explicitly add review ones.
 
user136984
@ByteCommander: Right, YouTube is being a bit weird at the moment for me, so I have post it here to see what it is! :D :P
 
@ParanoidPanda Unfortunately the system isn't that smart :/
 
o.O What have you messed up now?
 
user136984
4:27 PM
@Seth: Oh, I thought it was... Maybe I should suggest that then.
 
Is there a known NumLock bug for 15.04?
My NumLock turns on at GRUB, off at the greeter and back on after login, but sometimes without enabling the keyboard LED.
 
@ParanoidPanda You can try, but I doubt they will implement it. For e.g. Nathan's comment there is custom. How are they going to tell that it should be upticked instead of adding your comment? They couldn't tell it apart from a comment suggesting they eat more waffles!
But you can certainly suggest it!
