@TomWijsman hi! Are you there/

Tom Wijsman

Yeah

avirk

@TomWijsman do you use android phone?

Tom Wijsman

No, WP7.

avirk

@TomWijsman ah!

BTW I'm looking for a calender which should notify me through an alert.

@TomWijsman how can i run a .js file for a browser to prevent action of a key?

Tom Wijsman

02:22

@avirk Don't think you really can, those are event listeners.

Unless you find some way to empty the event listeners list.

avirk

@TomWijsman I'm searching how can I run userscripts to run on Chrome.

@TomWijsman chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/…

Tom Wijsman

@avirk Yeah, it brings more support for userscripts.

Some work natively on Google Chrome itself, others don't.

And well, latest Chrome came with protective features making it harder to install them, which makes Tampermonkey yet another reason to use to ease installing userscripts.

avirk

@TomWijsman let see what happen :)

@TomWijsman userscripts.org/topics/113176?page=1#posts-459618

are you talking about that? :P

chrome supports tabstack. Does any one know from which version?

Sathya

04:11

@avirk about:flags

avirk

@Sathya yeah! But I want to know from which version they provide this feature?

Sathya

it's been there since few months

go figure out the version based on a 2-week release cycle for dev

avirk

@Sathya hmmmm nice idea

Sathya

Aug 2 at 11:43, by Sathya

@HaydnWVN the newest dev builds have a rolling-window type of tabs

this was the earliest mention I had done

KronoS

well I guess I have no excuse to not do my homework now

Sathya

04:24

@KronoS don't slack and get crackin' on these asap

KronoS

@Sathya :( yes master

Sathya

:P

KronoS

lol

avirk

Difference between Iphone-4 & Iphone-5.

KronoS

@avirk I get my iPhone 5 tomorrow

Sathya

04:26

breakfast time

KronoS

and that image is too small

avirk

@KronoS IDK why IMGUR do it to me.

I'll upload it directly.

@Sathya you can change it in a link ;)

@KronoS now it is clear I think ;)

KronoS

yes

avirk

@KronoS so always be alert :P

KronoS

lol...

Ug... I'm so close to 10k it isn't even funny

but no time to answer questions or ask them

avirk

04:33

@KronoS no time? Busy to write blogs?

KronoS

@avirk I barely have time to do that

Can only handle one every two weeks now

speaking of which I need to do the QoTW...

but I'm also doing that apptivate.ms contest

and I have tons of interviews... and the GRE to take... and... ya

avirk

@KronoS I never heard about that?

KronoS

apptivate.ms

you should vote me up... bump me up into 2nd place :P

@KronoS Thumbs up :)

KronoS

@avirk thank you

soandos

04:54

@KronoS is there a way for the host machine and the VM to share a clipboard?

KronoS

@soandos what do you mean? like with the windows 8 app and the simulator?

or an actual VM? that runs say... Ubuntu or Win XP, etc,.

soandos

Yeah

Super User Blog: Super User Review of Hyper-V for Windows 8

kronos on September 17, 2012

This weeks question of the week come from these two questions:

Windows 8 Hyper-V – how to give VM internet access?

How do I install and use Window Virtual PC in Windows 8?

One of them asked by Graham Clark, and the other is a self post by myself. This prompted me to do a more formal review of Microsoft’s Hyper-V for Windows 8.

Hyper-V for Windows 8 is really called Client Hyper-V. It’s similar in many aspects to the Microsoft Server’s Hyper-V (2008 and the upcoming 2012). What’s different about Client Hyper-V is that it was customized to fit the portable environments, such as laptops, that developer’s find themselves in. What does Hyper-V do? …

did you look at that?

> You can use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to connect to the VM! While this may not sound that exciting, especially given the fact that VM Connect, a solution that also connects to the VM, comes with Hyper-V there are some added functionality that comes with using RDC. For example, you can span across multiple monitors, full multimedia experience, multipoint touch-enabled interfacing, etc,.

soandos

Yes, did I miss something about the clipboard?

Ah, got it

KronoS

oh wait.. ha ha!

soandos

04:56

Additionally, I seem to be having issues with my virtual switch

KronoS

I didn't put it in there lol

I believe you can with the RDC connection

lemme get the source

soandos

Where it is created and ubuntu can't see the connection for some reason

got it

Sathya

Nope, I had spaces in my source/destination and forgot to encapsulate them in quotes! — Michael 26 mins ago

and that's why we say post the exact command. — Sathya 16 secs ago

dumbass

KronoS

@Sathya lol

@soandos What kind of switch did you create?

soandos

External

from my wireless NIC

though task manager now says that I am using ethernet...

KronoS

05:00

well that may be it :P

soandos

I am not plugged in...

KronoS

also make sure that "Enable virtual LAN identification for management operating system" isn't checked

soandos

Its not

KronoS

Sathya

well that's new

soandos

05:02

lol, nice comment

@KronoS thats not the problem

Sathya

lol actually I didn't post the correct image :P

KronoS

@soandos ok just making sure cuz I had it checked and couldn't figure it out for a couple of hours :P

soandos

@KronoS I take it back. Ubuntu can see a connection, but can't connect

Sathya

KronoS

@Sathya ya saw those earlier... it's pretty slick

jokerdino

05:06

nice.

soandos

If only we had more posts to use these cool features on...

KronoS

this is what I see:

jokerdino

I see two Unity desktops

soandos

And ideas on why it can't connect?

jokerdino

Since when people started using Ubuntu? lol

soandos

05:07

I need a linux machine for class :)

jokerdino

@soandos disable networking and enable it back again

@soandos ah poor you

KronoS

Hmmm... why does it have that second wired connection?

soandos

@jokerdino no change

@KronoS no idea

jokerdino

i'll check the google

KronoS

@soandos try detaching the switch and attaching it again

have you checked it again another vm?

soandos

05:09

@KronoS only have one VM as of now

KronoS

oh got it

jokerdino

I see a bunch of dupes on AU regarding 12.04

KronoS

I have three lol

soandos

and even after I disconnect the switch, still have the greyed out wireless

@KronoS, do I need to add a network adapter in settings?

@KronoS other ideas?

KronoS

@soandos no not right now tbh... sorry

soandos

What is integration services required?

jokerdino

@soandos are you on 12.10?

soandos

05:21

@jokerdino nope, but I can create a 12.10 install shortly

jokerdino

no no not necessary

i thought you were referring to the web apps integration script

soandos

ah, no

windows 8 hyper V client

jokerdino

yeah, that's what google tells me

Journeyman Geek

@KronoS I guess someone figured it was an easy way to get rep

jokerdino

and badges

KronoS

05:34

@JourneymanGeek well now I know what to do with my 128 mb flash drive I have :P

avirk

@KronoS you still have 128 mb Oo

KronoS

@avirk actually it was given to me at a career fair... I thought I scored big (since the last flash drive I got was a 16gb) but was extremely disappointed

avirk

@KronoS I always want a 128 mb flash drive but my bad I never get that as they were disappear from market and 1Gb-2Gb overcome :(

KronoS

@avirk why would you want one?

avirk

@KronoS sounds crazy but for a collection :P

KronoS

05:42

@avirk O.o hey whatever floats your boat

@KronoS :D

Q: Windows 3 Animated Background/Desktop/Wallpaper

In the summer of 1995, I visited some family in Los Angeles. My uncle had a computer with Windows 3 (or some version thereof since Windows 95 had not been released yet). In Windows 3, there was no desktop or wallpaper like in later versions; instead you could set it to a simple pattern (still po...

soandos

@KronoS did you have to manually install the integration tools?

Journeyman Geek

I do believe you do

avirk

@JourneymanGeek thats for me?

KronoS

@soandos Uh... no. I'm not sure TBH.

but i think those are for Windows products only

I could be wrong though

soandos

05:53

There is a linux integration thing

I can get it to crash late in the process

KronoS

ya the integration disk if for windows only

soandos

Old article but download is still valid, and it kinda runs

KronoS

what version of ubuntu are you running?

soandos

12.04

installing 12.10 now, seeing if it makes a difference

jokerdino

good luck

KronoS

05:57

It shouldn't... I'm running 12.04

jokerdino

i am on 12.10 and you could discover many bugs.

soandos

@jokerdino perhaps one of those bugs will fix my problem...

jokerdino

Heh, you sound too optimistic

soandos

@KronoS how can I add a legacy network adapter?

nvm, I'm an idiot...

KronoS

@soandos See I'm just using my ethernet connection

I haven't tried it on the wireless nic card yet

soandos

06:00

got it

KronoS

have you tried connecting your ethernet and testing that?

soandos

Nope :P

hoping this legacy thing works

if not, will try that

KronoS

@soandos k keep me posted. I'm curious if you figure it out

soandos

@KronoS xkcd.com/466

KronoS

It's so true

too bad too many people now know that they should secure their network

I used to get free wifi for a long time

jokerdino

06:05

linksys haha

soandos

@jokerdino how can I check what is causing a device not ready error in ubuntu?

jokerdino

start it in a terminal

soandos

what do you mean?

jokerdino

oops. i thought you were talking about an application

what device is not ready?

soandos

network adapter

A 5th standard child wrote letter to Bill Gates

Sir, I have some questions for you.

1: Keyboards letters are not in sequence? When the right version will be launch?

2: Windows has START button but has not STOP button?

3: We use MS-Word when will we use MR-word?

4: There is no ANYKEY named in keyboard then why computer ask to press ANYKEY?

5: Your name is GATES so why you build Windows?

jokerdino

i find unanswered question for that.

i think you might want to install network-manager

balpha

Hey @KronoS, could you add a few screenshots or at least mockups to your apptivate.ms submission at some point? I'm bullying everyone else to do it, since it's really a requirement.

KronoS

06:11

@balpha I will as soon as I get them :P I'm planning on making some headway on the project this weekend

balpha

cool, thanks

KronoS

@balpha np. I understand

speaking of which is there a meta for that site @balpha?

balpha

Just use meta.so. Or ping me if you see me :) I'm the dev for that site.

KronoS

oh cool. If it's a quick question I'll ping ya... otherwise I'll post on meta.SO.

As a quick question, are dupe apps ok to be submitted?

balpha

you mean like the two cups games? or like the two stack exchange apps?

KronoS

06:15

ya exactly

balpha

which of the two?

the cups games were an accidental double submission (I deleted one)

KronoS

the two SE apps

balpha

sure, that's absolutely okay

competition is healthy :)

KronoS

I agree, and I'm fine with it. Just making sure. I thought I read it somewhere.

Finaly question and then I'll leave you alone:

balpha

of course it's different if someone just copies another app pixel-by-pixel

KronoS

06:18

Is my app icon in agreeance with SE's guidelines on trademarks?

I didn't realize they were there when I posted it, and after reading the guidelines I'm concerned I might be infringing on them

balpha

Your original one was too close for comfort. I brought the topic up in our internal chat room, I think someone was going to contact you and the other guy (I assumed that was why you changed yours). I'm not sure about the new one, I'm no lawyer after all. But the worst thing that can happen is that someone asks you to change it. Don't expect letters from lawyers :)

jokerdino

I am afraid I disabled @soandos' network :|

soandos

@jokerdino still here

ubuntu is not though :(

jokerdino

Thank goodness.

KronoS

@balpha ok that makes sense. I won't sweat it for now and if there's trouble then I'll change it

thanks!

soandos

06:24

@jokerdino it no longer says not ready

jokerdino

But can you connect?

soandos

Not though the GUI

how can I try via terminal?

jokerdino

start network-manager in a terminal or something

soandos

unknown job

jokerdino

oops. i guess it runs as a service

you might want to ask on our general room.

soandos

06:26

got it

KronoS

scroll up on the terminal @soandos..

soandos

then take a capture of that

please :)

Does anyone know if all wirelss NICs for laptops are interchangable?

HaydnWVN

@soandos They are not

soandos

Depends on the port type?

HaydnWVN

@soandos The laptop will have a list of compatibles

not just the port type

soandos

@HaydnWVN where can I find the list?

Journeyman Geek

@soandos: yes and no

soandos

08:40

@JourneymanGeek...

Journeyman Geek

you need to get the right socket (mini pci-e vs mini pci). Some laptops also will only work with specific cards with specific firmware

iirc used to be IBM and HP. I've successfully stuffed an IBM mini pci card into a random compaq tho

soandos

How can I check if it will work beforehand?

Journeyman Geek

There's no hard and fast test, google it and see if someone else has done a swap

soandos

ouch

Journeyman Geek

but chances are better than not that it'll work

soandos

08:42

assuming same port type?

Journeyman Geek

yup

which is easy to check

soandos

Any way to check the port type via software?

Journeyman Geek

yup, let me see if hardware manager would do it

soandos

nvm, I can just look up the part

Is there a way I can stuff any of newegg.com/Product/… into a laptop?

Journeyman Geek

er

nope

soandos

08:46

didn't think so

Journeyman Geek

newegg.com/Product/…

these might

soandos

I am just PCI Express though, not mini

Journeyman Geek

oh

for a desktop?

soandos

laptop

Journeyman Geek

you won't have PCI-E slots on a laptop, space issues. You will have a pci-e internal interface with a mini pci-e slot

soandos

08:47

qca.qualcomm.com/technology/…

Am I totally misreading this?

Journeyman Geek

physical interface vs electrical interface ;p

the electrical and signal interface is pci-e

soandos

and the physical?

Journeyman Geek

on a laptop, the physical interface will be mini pci-e

soandos

got it

Journeyman Geek

but you can convert a mini pci-e card into a pci-e 1x card with a simple physical adaptor

soandos

08:49

so basically, either on of those formats is fine?

Journeyman Geek

no

with a laptop, due to physical contraints, you want to go with mini pci-e

soandos

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106062

is good though?

I just seem to have the least supported, most buggy adapter out there

Journeyman Geek

better than mine ;p

and intel has pretty good support on both windows and linux

soandos

it does not work with campus WPA2

MS Hyper V

half a dozen other times it refuses to work

the driver fails more on version 7 then on version 3

shudder

its time to kill it

Journeyman Geek

lol

I swear by intel, more than i swear at it

soandos

but the primary site for drivers is in czech

Any ideas on what to do with my old one?

Journeyman Geek

Should be pretty easy, once you get access to it

hmm
