@MarcoCeppi Yeah, you're online regardless what time of day I log in :)
 
It's how I roll
 
btw I didn't find a solution to the weird ecryptfs problem, so I've posted a Q on the site. - If only the machine hadn't gone to standby, because your assistance had it working... very strange.
 
Da Rude - Sandstorm volume 25. time: 08:30
my neighbors will be pissed! :D
 
6:35 AM
@TorbenGundtofteBruun Good luck - it's a shame the machine went into standby!
 
Yep! Thanks, let's see if I get any answers. I'll apply a bounty as soon as the system allows it.
 
Why doesn't Unity's Dash recognize all games on my system? http://t.co/HofhDoa #unity

7:59 AM
morning
 
How are you?
 
19,929 questions - will today be the day? is 20k something to celebrate?
will we hit 25k before the oneiric release?
@ManjotSingh i'm fine, thanks! how about you?
 
ah! Just waiting for weekend,will go on date with my girl friend
I am just moving from StackExchange chat rooms,I saw all you guys so I thought I should at least waves to you all
 
we have a big idle-factor :P
lots of people here, nobody talks
 
lol,Why don't people talk?
I think I am distracting you all,better I should leave the room :)
 
8:05 AM
probably all are busy working on the site ;-)
well, not all. not me. :P
 
Do you have an idea of OpenId integration?
 
no sorry :(
 
Ok no issues,don't be sorry
 
lol
> <JustReinstalledU> Is there any way to make unity not suck?
if someone came to my house asking me if there's a way to make my product not suck, he'd definitely get an answer. :>
 
8:36 AM
htorque! when are you gonna fix my battery icon? >:-D
 
oh, i am a developer?

@Rinzwind what's the output of upower -d?
and apt-cache policy upower
 
Not behind my machine ;=) so I'll get back on that >:D
 
ssh in
do you think i go to my other systems? :D
 
I get an error when I do upower -d
 
then you have the wrong upower version
 
8:43 AM
libupower-glib "couldn't enumerate devices: message did not receive a reply"
 
if you update that the icon should be back again
 
k!
 
see, it's all your fault :D
 
thanks for the command \o/ \o/
no! it is not! :=D
my system should have just updated it :p
I'd give you rep but that would mean you'd get closer to 15k than me >:D
earthquake from y-day overhere had 1 casuality.... a parrot named Peter died :=)

who's onam?
 
12:00 PM
@htorque its a fesival :D
BBL
 
jrg
Yay!
Security people, time to update.
 
12:44 PM
how can i remove all ca certificates on my machine?
 
jrg
No idea. Sounds like a question for the site.
 
let's say i don't trust any third party per se, so i don't like my browser to come with a trusted bunch of ca's/certs "pre-trusted"
yeah, but that's so much work :D
 
jrg
Well, if you're using Chrome/Chromium, that's impossible.
It's built into the actual browser. As for Firefox/Opera, not sure.
 
Cool, I've just seen that AskUbuntu is featured in the 11.10 installer's slideshow. omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/ubuntu-11-10-installer-slideshow-slides
6
:) thanks for the star
 
jrg
Not surprising - the maintainer of Ubiquity (Evan) started the Area 51 Proposal.
@TorbenGundtofteBruun No problem. :)
Hey, I'm featured in that screenshot! (I'm in the chatroom at that point. :D)
 
12:51 PM
@jrg Wooooo!
 
jrg
My new claim to fame: I'm featured in a (subject to change) screenshot in Ubiquity. ;)
 
one that's going to stay? :P
 
@jrg don't diss it -- it's still a lot more than most of us can claim!
 
sweet, my avatar is in there
now i'm mentioned in a kernel commit AND my avatar is part of the ubuntu installer slideshow... i mean, i don't see any way this can be topped :D:D:D
 
jrg
@TorbenGundtofteBruun hehe. :)
Yeah, @htorque has me beat. :D
 
1:05 PM
this onam comes with quite beautiful flower mandalas (or whatever it's called): flickr.com/search/?q=onam&z=t

1:22 PM
@jrg @TorbenGundtofteBruun Bug report: It's Ask Ubuntu
2
 
1:43 PM
@MarcoCeppi you mean to say it needs a space; it's not a CamelCase word, right?
 
Correct
 
2:02 PM
@MarcoCeppi embarassing question: where can I file a bug report? I'm looking at harvest (seems wrong) and launchpad (seems right, but where?)
 
@TorbenGundtofteBruun LaunchPad, you want to file a bug under the projects bug page. In the above example that would be Ubiquity
 
if you have a launchpad account, just run ubuntu-bug ubiquity from the command line
 
duh! I keep forgetting about ubuntu-bug
 
maybe it's a good sign you don't remember it :P
(unless you are running +1, in which case you really should know about it - sooo many buuugs!)
 
nope. I don't have the time to invest in giving a +1 the attention it needs to bug squishing. So I feel I don't deserve to run it :(
 
jrg
2:31 PM
@MarcoCeppi Ok, I'll report that as a bug.
@TorbenGundtofteBruun Unless you got to it before me... :)
 
I wonder how much the scale changes at the top end of flagging
like, I have 736
I wonder how "close" that is to 749.
like is it, "dozens" of flags, 50? etc
 
jrg
Whoa, we're officially official. When did this show up?
 
that's been there a while
 
jrg
guess I don't normally read the <p> print on Launchpad. :P
 
OMG
more importantly
We got a slide in the installer!
 
oh, I think the slideshow is a different package
let me find it for you
 
jrg
Oh, ok. :)
 
yeah you want ubiquity-slideshow
click "also affects" and choose that
 
jrg
Mkay. I'll update the bug.
 
wow man
that makes my day
everyone who installs ubuntu
will see that.
 
2:43 PM
well Ask Ubuntu deserved it, no?
 
jrg
I know, right? everyone
 
oh I'm sure people will
you could give people FREE MONEY and they'll whine about having to pay the taxes these days
 
oh noes, the maximum tax rate is way too high! :D
 
We did it folks! total users: 20,018
5
 
2:46 PM
those are the real problems :D
 
oh my word, never mind the typo - this is fantastic!
 
hm, it's a couple thousand less users on the user page
still, 20000 questions, only 2000 w/o an answer. in just one year - imho AU is a big success. :)
and by the amount of people working on unity, bitesize bugs were also a win. ;-)
 
I need more!
 
@htorque depending on how you count, we're still about number 4 after the trilogy
 
4 is good!
maybe we'll get mentioned on the podcast for once!
(though they did mention us briefly last time)
 
2:50 PM
@StefanoPalazzo yeah, but ubuntu just works. no need to ask questions :P
 
when they were complaining about gaming
 
@JorgeCastro yeah indeed. it seems like we're odd or something :)
 
we hit about 50% of the traffic of SF last time during release.
I bet we can pass it during 12.04's release
 
lepers! :P
 
well, "traffic" being what they publish on /sites, which is always behind and looks very rounded.
 
2:53 PM
they did mention that view counts are very conservative (that was about questions)

A: Libreoffice Unity Launcher Doesn't Work

jrgThis sounds like a bug report to me - if you could please report this as a bug that'd be great. For more on that, look at this question: How do I report a bug?

hah! outted!
@StefanoPalazzo yeah on the podcast he's like "if you see that number, automatically double it"
but the actual # isn't important to me as it is passing SF, mwahahaha.
 
i'm so going to flag this
haha
 
that'd be something :)
wait, hang on
I should look at this more often. we're not "about" #4
 
you gotta be careful, last cycle we flipped flopped with gaming all the time
though recently we've been on top
but like, some days they just turn it up
(I check every day, heh)
 
@JorgeCastro I think there's a badge for that :)
 
2:58 PM
Somehow I always anthromorphize gaming as just "badp"
so when we were behind I would be like "I'm going to get you badp."
 
That sums it up pretty nicely :)
*Clash of the SE Titans JCastro, Badp, an all out brawl for the SE Leader board...WHO WILL WIN"

Jon Skeet is refereeing :)
 
I <3 gaming, the few questions I've asked there have been answered
but my large drive on my windows machine died so I haven't gamed in a while
though, City of wonder on g+ is my secret shame
 
last year i played cafe world on FB for a couple of months - an all time low for a former ego shooter gamer :D
 
@JorgeCastro Mine is edgeworld :\
 
3:08 PM
@Rinzwind you completely rock!
sorry for banging on about it :)
if you want a guide on how to post fantastic answers, look through Rinzwind's recent answers.
 
\o/
lots of new people too
this root45 guy has been on an editing tear ftw.
 
member for four months and doesn't even have 15k rep, pffft :D
yeah, great edits
 
indeed, he's also flagged lots of stuff, and even participated on meta
 
root45 had 144 edit suggestions approved, and 0 edit suggestions rejected.
3
'nuff said
 
I swear the anon edits and the ease of approval and that awesome diff are my favorite part of the site
can you remember when we didn't have that?
 
3:15 PM
i don't want to remember all those comments the lack of those features caused :P
@JorgeCastro as for your flag weight question: you probably need around 100
16
Q: How many flags to reach 750 flag-weight?

Scorpi0750 is the asymptotic limit for flag weight, but it is known that it can be reached thanks to rounding. Suppose that a user has no invalid flags. How many flags does he need to reach the 750 limit? Related questions : Flag weight 750 reached? Edit : I will add some numbers to have an approxim...

 
jrg
@JorgeCastro Oops. That was one of the ones I missed. _
 
Good evening all
 
@Takkat hi
 
hello @Takkat :)
 
Good evening all! :D
 
3:21 PM
waves back
 
@StefanoPalazzo who will win in monza?
 
vettel obviously :D
 
:D
 
I'm more interested in second and third these days
and 6th
 
hehe :D
I need food!
brb'
 
3:24 PM
schumi should win one race before he retires and ferrari should just not win ever again. that's all i want. :D
 
I really want Chandhok to come back :\
he's fantastic
 
is shumi still in the game? :O
 
oh those at the end of the field? nah, i tend to ignore all of those drivers :P
@Alvar not winning (the car's not competitive enough), but still better than the majority of drivers on the track
 
this is Schumacher's 2011 season in a nutshell: Ret., 9, 8, 12, 6, Ret., 4, 17, 9, 8, Ret., 5
 
@htorque well, that is to argue...
@StefanoPalazzo that car must be leaking fuel or something! :P
he isn't a bad driver.
 
3:28 PM
this is him in 2002: 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1
so yeah, he's "finding his rhythm" :D
 
no, 2002 it wasn't schumi... it was some arrogant guy driving for ferrari.
 
@StefanoPalazzo neil is doing lenses API session today on IRC
 
@JorgeCastro oh excellent. do you have the time handy?
 
yeah one sec
 
jrg
17:00 UTC
 
3:30 PM
ta
 
so in 1½ hours
 
great, thank you
 
make sure you ask questions
well, only really one
I CAN HAS THE STUPID API DOCS UPDATED?!?!?
4
and then I will cheer for you
 
i'll cheer for you extra hard if you do that
 
3:32 PM
will do :)
 
not that @JorgeCastro put me up to it or anything
 
jrg
+1 @lazyPower.
 
I am crippled without the AU lens
oh crap
hey @StefanoPalazzo
dates are wrong
 
31 October – 4 November, 2011 are the correct dates
 
3:34 PM
stef'll fix it
 
+1 @jrg
 
lol :P
 
@JorgeCastro is it "Orlando Florida" or "Orlando, Florida"?
 
jrg
"Orlando, Florida."
 
3:37 PM
with the comma
 
thanks :)
 
jrg
@htorque You using Unity 2D or 3D?
 
I <3 the medium variant
 
@jrg mostly 3d
but logging into 2d every once in a while
 
jrg
Can you confirm a 2d bug? (not urgent, just when you get the chance)
 
3:56 PM
which one? :)
 
Hekllo all

4:01 PM
but then it also says it would take 43.05 thousand centuries to crack password123
 
@jrg not getting this with a daily live cd
i'm getting the small default switcher (the new one is compiz/3d only)
 
@StefanoPalazzo or 4 minutes of common sense :D

@htorque I now have information about your password :-)
 
online attack: 11.11 seconds for my bank card PIN :(
 
@htorque it's 9 characters long with one uppercase character and two digits :P
is it?
 
4:07 PM
@StefanoPalazzo yeah, but do you have a massive cracking array? :D
@StefanoPalazzo almost
i'm going to change it now
:P
 
@htorque :| You can create a botnet
 
good call :-)
must fight the urge to post guesses...
 
    0.0000000111 seconds for 123456
 
it's kinda stupid to type your password into some random site :-)
not going to type anything important in there :D
 
@htorque "top secret" is not secret ;P
 
4:09 PM
@htorque I've done it in FF, private browsing + offline mode. but I've also checked, the site really doesn't save or transfer anything
 
it's swordfish666 :D
@StefanoPalazzo sure... it's YOUR site, right? :D
 
@htorque Point taken
Man the harpoons and head to Germany!

A: How do I quickly encrypt a file with AES?

Stefano PalazzoIf you want the encryption to be platform independent, you can use openssl: Encryption: openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in attack-plan.txt -out message.enc Decryption: openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -in message.enc -out plain-text.txt You can get openssl to base64-encode the message by using t...

plug
this is the reason I dug this up
 
"how do i quickly decrypt a file encrypted with AES without the passphrase?" :D
 
4:12 PM
@htorque if you ask that, maybe somone posts a tutorial for john the ripper
 
there was a url that is new, for best of
it took account voting + anon feedback
 
@StefanoPalazzo it's amazing that people forget the time it takes to create a wordlist
 
you can buy those
if you buy them from someone shady, they may even include real world data
 
i can also buy a wrench :P
 
indeed
 
4:14 PM
@htorque Or a jackhammer
 
Hello all.
 
that's why I don't use AES for communication :)
 
Hey, nice to see you!
 
@RolandTaylor Heya
 
I'm in a storm, need anything?
 
4:14 PM
i probably shouldn't tell you, but a wrench would work just fine on me :D
 
@htorque Where do you live again? :m
 
yeah, some barbados beach
@AmithKK at home
 
everyone knows :)
central europe
 
Where in Central Europe?
 
@htorque do you get an icon for empathy in your systray?
 
4:16 PM
everywhere i go in europe is the center of europe :D
@RolandTaylor not using that
i guess that's included in the messages menu?
 
@JorgeCastro (sorry to bug ya :P) do you have time to test ad-hoc networking? (wireless hotspot creation) on 11.10? I still have an open bug on it.
 
right between finland and portugal :)
 
@htorque yes it is.
 
not today sorry
but I bet htorque does!
 
it's working for me
that's the problem ;)
 
4:17 PM
@RolandTaylor I have, get me a plane ticket!
 
@JorgeCastro his network manager stopped producing that bug :P
@AmithKK get on google chat for a sec, I need to test if my video calls on empathy still crash (hide your webcam lol)
 
lol

Q: Why does empathy show a transparent video preview and then crash?

Roland TaylorWhen I try to use empathy video chat, no matter what settings I use, it shows a transparent preview, then the video window closes (crashes) I've not gotten any relevant output from the commandline, so I'm not sure what to do. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it greatly! Update: Still happen...

(sorry I am so random and fast today folks - been sick for two days - doing a lot at once)

Q: Recovering Ubuntu

GTylerMy Ubuntu 11.04 guest on VBox 4.0.10 crashed when I was working. Is there a way to go back to previous working configuration? I have always used the saved state and power off option. I did not take snapshots though. Or is there a way to go back to previous configurations in Ubuntu?

 
5:39 PM
@StefanoPalazzo ofcource I rock. What do I rock about this time? >:D
 
many things :)
the fsck answer is particularly nice
 
eh.
OH that one :D
naaa.
basic knowledge :X
ok question!
oneiric... upower in USC claims to be version 0.9.12-1
how do I get it to update to 0.9.13-1 (what it is supposed to be)
(cuz my upower errors out ... )
@StefanoPalazzo that q skyrocketed with rep :X
woot my battery is back \o/
 
5:56 PM
@Rinzwind Basic knowledge that most desktop users don't know is more like it
 
lol
ah well I never knew that if you put a space in front of a command it does not show up in history :X
 
I use that all the time
particularly when I use commands like "mv" or "rm" :-)
 
where I have been using command line from when I was using Xenix :X
