@GeorgeEdison It looks awesome!

@GeorgeEdison if you're curious of the fix, it was these three lines:

    <Location />
            WSGIProcessGroup [WSGIDaemonProcess Name]
    </Location>

Without that, all the vhosts would just use the last created WSGIDaemonProcess group, resulting in the path collisions you saw

George Edison

Right. That makes sense.

jrg

@GeorgeEdison OK, so you know about the issue with the site. Good. :-P

I take it you also get all those emails from root@localhost?

lazyPower

@GeorgeEdison nice color schema on bootstrap

<3 me some bootstrap

George Edison

@jrg Oh... are you getting them too?

Do you want to continue receiving them?

jrg

@GeorgeEdison yeah. They all went to spam, but I'm writing a gmail filter to send them to the 2buntu gmail tag.

Which I check somewhat frequently, so yes, I want to keep getting them.

GTFO OF MY TMP

George Edison

I can't seem to write to /tmp now.

Marco Ceppi

Because you don't own it, www-data does. What created this? The Django app?

jrg

On, and one more thing: if you don't mind, I'll write a patch to make it so/RSS doesn't 404, since right now all our subscribers are now invalid.

George Edison

@Marco: My OpenID provider needs to be able to write to /tmp and has had no trouble doing so before. So that is correct - it would be running under www-data (my app).

jrg

Why are we running an openid provider?

George Edison

7:31 PM

I am. On my website. Been running one for the last 5-6 months.

What's worse - that's the provider I use to log into Ondina for 2buntu :)

jrg

I'm confused, but OK.

George Edison

(Probably not the smartest thing I ever did.)

Marco Ceppi

Well nothing's changed there. I can blow away the directory and have your service try to create it again

George Edison

Actually, it isn't exactly the app that's trying to write there - the app uses Python's tempfile module which tries to write there.

I'll try again.

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

Jumanji.

Marco Ceppi

7:35 PM

@GeorgeEdison go ahead and try again

Joshua

@GeorgeEdison where are all our posts?

George Edison

@MarcoCeppi Fixed. Thank you.

Marco Ceppi

@GeorgeEdison I just blew away that dir in the /tmp dir

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

@Joshua in my belly.

Marco Ceppi

it was owned by www-data, now it's owned by your personal account

Joshua

7:35 PM

and how do i log in?

/me punches @RolandiXor-TheIceMan

George Edison

@Joshua One sec..

Joshua

George Edison

@Joshua: Go here: 2buntu.com/accounts/reset

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

George Edison

Enter your old password to reset.

But please don't write anything yet.

I'm still working on the import procedure.

Joshua

7:37 PM

@GeorgeEdison thanks... umm... I don't remember what email I used...

George Edison

@Joshua I can look it up for you.

Q: Switching desktop environment from Unity?

Basicall I have installed a few desktop environments. And if you are familiar with Unity, you know that the way switching works, is you get this sort of drop-down with all the environments installed, you then high-light the desired option and click "ok". So my problem is that I have quite a few i...

unity

Joshua

@GeorgeEdison cool...

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

Can we get some upvotes?

I deleted my question on the issue.

George Edison

@Joshua joshuapbell AT [some Google place] .com

What is CloudFlare doing???

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

7:39 PM

@GeorgeEdison I don't get anything in my email :(

Joshua

hmm that is what I thought... but I never got an email to reset it...

George Edison

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan Weird.

Check your spam folders.

Joshua

@GeorgeEdison I did

George Edison

Hmmm...

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

@GeorgeEdison just did.

George Edison

7:42 PM

@MarcoCeppi: One last tiny request... media.2buntu.com doesn't work. I think it's the same thing as static.2buntu.com.

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan Okay. I'll email you guys manually in a few minutes then.

Marco Ceppi

@GeorgeEdison You've exhausted your queries for the year :P

George Edison

@MarcoCeppi I really am sorry :) I'd fix it myself if there was any way I could.

Marco Ceppi

naw, I'm just kidding

Joshua

@MarcoCeppi good thing it is almost December...

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

Can I ask a question?

lazyPower

7:46 PM

nope

Joshua

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan sure but we won't answer it...

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

No worries, I already did.

:D

lazyPower

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan I'm going to find you... and ... give you a noogie

Joshua

Ahhh I see what you did there...

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

@lazyPower xD gotcha!

@Joshua >:}

Joshua

7:47 PM

@GeorgeEdison new devolopment: I got the email but it sends me to example.com/accounts/reset/confirm/2/3cu-c158dd55ea1211f23f38

George Edison

@Joshua Oops. Try replacing example.com with 2buntu.com.

I'll fix that one.

lazyPower

yey mailers

George Edison

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan Did you get yours finally too?

Marco Ceppi

@GeorgeEdison media fixed

George Edison

Thanks!

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

7:49 PM

@GeorgeEdison have to check now lol

Joshua

Cool I am in :-D

Um... will I get my super user privileges back?

Or have I been demoted to a flunkie?

George Edison

@Joshua You will. One moment.

Joshua

Aright cool... @GeorgeEdison your the best!

George Edison

@Joshua Done. You should have some extra options now.

Joshua

@MarcoCeppi the "GTFO OUT" is a bit redundant don't you think?

Marco Ceppi

7:53 PM

So is the PIN Number I type in my ATM machine, but I do it anyways :P

lazyPower

wait.. you're ~ 3 hours away from me and they call it ATM down there?

PA is so backwards.. its MAC machine here.

MAC = Money Access Center

Marco Ceppi

What do they call it up there? Magic money machine?

Joshua

@MarcoCeppi lol

@MarcoCeppi I guess it is...

Marco Ceppi

What? It's an Automated Teller

lazyPower

I understand that, but PNC says its a MAC

blame them, i didnt name it :|

personally i'd call it "Annoyance machine, with fees"

Marco Ceppi

7:54 PM

Oh, PNC. We have them down here but no one listens to them

lazyPower

lol, fair enough :)

Joshua

Personally guys I call it "my bookie" because it just keeps giving me money...

lazyPower

your bookie huh? Does it ever get lippy and receive bats to the knees?

or get shot for misappropriated funds?

Joshua

Well I did take a bat to its knees once... but then I got arrested for "armed robbery"

Joshua

@GeorgeEdison is there a way in Qt to switch the recognizing of a click - to be a "Command + Click" on the widget/window?

George Edison

I'm not sure.

mateo_salta

might not work like I think... but I was taking a last shot at keeping the share box on bottom, Cmd clicking things keeps them as background windows

mateo_salta

8:43 PM

hm, is this close @GeorgeEdison stackoverflow.com/questions/2035310/… just switch the key being simulated?

@GeorgeEdison I didn't get an email :(

Louis Carole

Hello, all. I have a question about bumping questions that end in "Triaged -> Wishlist"

In particular, how long is long enough, to bump a stale thread with an indeterminate "wishlist" requet as a non-answer

mateo_salta

hm, do you mean on Launchpad?

Louis Carole

Yes. Re: lightdm pre-logout logout scripts.

The thread was on Ubuntu-Questions

No resolution except LP triage.

er

Ask-Ubuntu, scuse.

FEichinger

9:05 PM

Link, please.

mateo_salta

I didn't think we had "wishlist" on AU?

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

back

@mateo_salta we don't.

Louis Carole

Sorry. So many sites have the same color schemes! ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1918649

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

@GeorgeEdison you there?

Louis Carole

Sorry - unable to regoogle... The launchpad is...

bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1044485

RolandiXor - The Ice Man

9:15 PM

@GeorgeEdison ping me when you get back.

I'll be in Urban Terror to see how my drivers perform.

Louis Carole

Oh dear, was that it? Hold on...

mateo_salta

I think I got @GeorgeEdison thinking in a logic loop...

Louis Carole

@mateo_salta I appologize for the wron link!

I'm still hunting the Launchpad Bug Link down.

AHA! bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/876284

George Edison

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan Back now.

He is a robot!

Q: Is Jorge Castro a Robot?

Before reading see the following links I noticed today http://askubuntu.com/users/235/jorge-castro http://askubuntu.com/users?tab=voters&filter=all http://about.me/jorge.castro http://askubuntu.com/users?tab=editors&filter=all After that, how can a human have time for all of that....

mateo_salta

Awesome link, funny stuff

iSeth

:D

FEichinger

The Jorgebot link =D

Louis Carole

I'm going to step away for a few minutes and then try asking my question more clearly. I know I failed this time.

George Edison

9:28 PM

Okay, some articles will slowly start showing up on 2buntu again.

Please do not edit them yet.

But feel free to begin writing new articles now.

Louis Carole

Hello, all. I have a question which I found has led other users on other question boards to lightdm, and specifically, to a bug posting marked "Triaged -> Wishlist." Would it be appropriate to bump a question last updated over 3 months ago, if the clearest answer appears to be "keep waiting?"

(bug posting on Launchpad bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/876284)

It's like a 'meta' question that determines whether I ask a question. So I'm trying here in chat.

FEichinger

The link to the question is much more important than the launchpad link. ;)

Louis Carole

Which version from which forum?

They are all orange-and-white.

FEichinger

The askubuntu one would be nice, since that's where you're asking.

Louis Carole

OK, here's one that is almost at the punchline...

Q: Where do I place a logout script for Lightdm?

Previously in Karmic, we created a logout script that does some work in the background on backing up a users home directory, this script was put in the /etc/GDM/PostSession directory. I can't figure out where to put a script that I want to run during a logout in LightDM. I've googled and have ...

lightdm logout

FEichinger

9:41 PM

Usually, bumping an old question that is pretty much answered with "It's a bug, wait for its fix.", is considered bad - simply because the question effectively doesn't even belong here.

You could however, add a link to the bug - as a comment, or an edit.

Louis Carole

It's also a "How Do I..." question.

That may or may not have a different solution.

And that link isn't quite it

FEichinger

Well, the bug is already linked on the question and the question has been answered in varying ways.

If you still believe it doesn't work as intended and the bug itself isn't the solution - update it with your further information.

Louis Carole

Yes. It seems ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1969822 is not the same as ask-ubuntu.

FEichinger

That is true indeed. ubuntuforums.org and askubuntu.com have few to do with each other.

Louis Carole

Oh dear! I'll try there. Sorry for the confusion. As to the bug thing - I don't know whether there's an answer to the question that bypasses lightdm, etc. altogether.

Ciao, and thanks again!

FEichinger

9:46 PM

Uhm, any time ... I guess.

George Edison

10:29 PM

Articles are up. Most images should be up now.

Joshua

@GeorgeEdison how come I can only see "Pages" under Site administration?

George Edison

What's wrong with that? :P

The only other stuff is (for the most part) highly technical.
