Qt 5.0 is installed - time to see how it works.

Today was ridiculously busy at the office.

If you suddenly see me type 'grjkgnrkjsglnjkenrkjge' it's because my head landed on the keyboard and I fell asleep.

anyone ever done HDR photos on Ubuntu?

nope...but several apps claim to support raw as a picture format

well my camera doesn't do RAW :(

found this though

Qtpfsgui was referenced on UF some time ago, sometimes their discussions get you the details you need: ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1185859.html

if you're trying to get it in to gimp the comment by AJB2K3 is useful

thanks @AbrahamVanHelpsing

np

if I had more rep I'd add a bounty on the existing question for more information.. but I guess i can figure it out myself

that's that way I've always done it before

what kind of info do you need?

like dump what you want to know here

Hmm, I'd just like more information on using the tools, which one the answerer thinks is best, etc

its pretty much 'i googled and found this' answer

So, we made it out of the 2012 Mayan apocalypse.

so, check that question again

@jokerdino they could have been off by a day or two...i mean we are talking on a thousands of years scale jk

Hey, Thanks! @AbrahamVanHelpsing

np

@jokerdino plus.google.com/photos/116747581186148686204/albums/…

it starts tomorrow :P

@jokerdino That was just silly.

(Not you, I mean the apocalypse.)

@AbrahamVanHelpsing lol, been waiting for this day so I can watch 2012 movie

...and Qt Creator doesn't seem to like my Qt 5.0 installation.

at least some people had a sense of humor about it

@GeorgeEdison I don't know how many people argued with me claiming world would indeed end yesterday

was probably wishful thinking from desperate people

probably yes

any js - make it all web-apps people in attendance?

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I can read JS to a certain extent...

I've never been able to write it. every time I try it doesn't work :/

there is a kind of big deal contest going on, and i wanted to let ppl know if they were about, but i'm not link dumping it over and over

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Just post it and wait. They will come. They always come.

Also, you know, we do have stars. We often use them for ... something that's not their purpose, but we do have them! =D

you convinced me i think...

See, wasn't that hard, was it now?

yeah true.

What does that even mean?

which mkspec and see where it points...maybe a version mismatch?

@iSeth - you know, you could test out a bunch of apps and write a really awesome answer on that question...

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I don't think my conscience would let me do that... that would be stealing IMO

Yay! JB for the GSIII. finally

well think about it if another answer doesn't come up. i'm so not looking forward to giving that to the existing answer, and i always award the bounty so it doesn't just get wasted...it would hurt to give it to that answer though. just saying. keep an eye on it

@AbrahamVanHelpsing well, OK I will.

I'm sure it will get an answer. I mean for 200rep, com'on!

stranger things have happened

JB on the GSIII is smoooooth...wonder if its just visual effects...

What version of libc6 did Natty ship with?

Wait - community is offering a bounty???

Just kidding of course. That's not really what happened.

whoa, how did that hapen?

I'm not 100% sure.

I've got a bow-tie now: stackapps.com/users/18/george-edison

community probably took ownership of a bounty that was worthy but wanted to be rescinded

@GeorgeEdison That bow-tie goes with your grav.

I wish it showed here :)

one of the SE employees said it was too big of a server load :(

WAT no started a bounty hat?

hey, good point

E17 is officially out after twelve years of development.

Wow, twelve years...

For what?

@Flabricorn Does it run on HURD?

@Flabricorn And it's written in Perl 6, right?

@iSeth "The design process for Perl 6 began in 2000."

E17, window manager, out for quite a few distributions. Love it just that much.

Is it possible to save flash images from websites ??

say greetingmoods.com

Flash isn't an "image".

It's an embedded object.

You could use a screen capture tool to get a still image of a page with Flash content.

screenshot would not work?

that is then quite certainly an image (as a result)

@George: though right flash are not plain images. Often some people use flash to kind of not have directly downloadable graphic data in a website

And on that website posted the "image" seems for instace to be a kind of "transparent" animation png kind of stylish thing (which is displayed withing the flash object)

@karthick87 its possible to have a look in the browser cache.

Sometimes there is some caching done and some data of flash might(if no means are taken to avoid this) accessible

@karthick87 you want this? greetingmoods.com/assets/images/hippo_inner.swf

That's just the SWF file though.

You'll need to use a Flash decompiler to extract anything.

And also keep in mind that a lot of Flash content is in vector format and would need to be rasterized anyway.

yes, that is quite true. Still it would serve the purpose to safe the data (in some respect)... for later extration for instance. I also assume its possible to use it on your own website (tough maybe not copyright legallly)

@GeorgeEdison it's all true what you say. But it's not me to say "what intentions lay behind the request". I would strive hard to avoid flash as best as possible. I don't like it

HTML5 is almost always a better alternative to Flash content.

are there still cases when / where it is not the better alternative? I am so little imaginative

Does some circumstances occur to you where it would be the better choice? flash that is

askubuntu.com/questions/230992/… is a question I recetly tried to give an answer. I like my answer though I figured it is quite a lengthy thing to actually monitor/survey some programs behavior. I though somebody else would also answer with some alternative approach. Still up to know ,very little response :(

Streaming video in real time is still very difficult in HTML5.

Flash has been doing this for years and still works relatively well on supported devices.

Indeed I would have though that video would be one of the simplest things to bput into a browser. In many ways a video is not so much different to a <img src="remotefile"> . Sure there need to be the right codecs etc. But many img formats are also "moving pictures" (gifs/pngs). Also I though Youtube offers some HTML5 only way of watching their content , already some time now. So is it right you actually mean the purpose is to cover the variatey of devices?

I used ogv container videos (I though forgot the acutall video codec I used, I have to admint;) but putting this video in a website and later seeing the video worked on UBUNTU systems "out of the box".

No, I'm talking about streaming live video.

For example, streaming a video feed from a conference session in real time.

oh yes. I see your point

in some ways this live streaming would be quite similar (codesc, compression etc) but in others it would really seem to be different (caching, skipping etc)

g'day all

does anyone know how gparted handles bad sectors? i'm about to move to a new hard drive...

Hi @htorque: looooong time \o/

AFAIK you can mark bad blocks somewhere

@htorque it's not the bad blocks that you can mark but you can make a "do not use" partition containing the area of the drive that has bad blocks.

@Takkat hi \o/ happy holidays ;)

i'm more concerned that it will just hang while copying the partition

yeah 2 weeks off work makes me really happy.

and i know that the bad block is close to the end of the partition :D

two weeks no work - a nightmare, right?

:D

a nightmare, now that the world has not ended

Work will come back for certain

for some it has, had our company xmas party yesterday :D

We always have the Xmas party in summer.

whoot?

Nobody had time to party at this time of the year, so in summer its more relaxed

and not so cold outside ;)

Wasps on pizza make better than Glühwein on snow.

Can you ddrescue your old drive?

man, testing a 3tb hard drive takes forever. been running badblocks for 19 hours now :D

well, it's just one bad block and i know the bad file

why not rsync --exclude badfile?

guess i'll just give it a try. maybe it will stop right in the beginning when doing the partition check.

not sure that's fast enough

Its faster than dd

going from 2tb to 3tb, so a loooot of files to copy

80% filled

for me these are overnight jobs.

for the upcoming two weeks, days are nights and nights are days :P

so now is the right time to start it ;D

Overnight jobs tend to end with an unresumable error occuring just 10 mins. after I went to bed.

So they are more like overnightandday jobs.

hehe, i know that problem.

Or I am greeted with press 'Y' to continue in the morning.

Hey, anyone played with Gtk liststore or Gtk treemodel?

@jokerdino played with it but did not really understand it :/

@Takkat Pretty much the same thing here

appears

@jokerdino That's a puzzle

@flabricorn it supports BSD...

BBT

Good Night

hi all! :)

or not....

I got a new hat! askubuntu.com/users/44179/iseth

Nice.

It's too bad you can't make minor adjustments to the position / rotation of the hats.

@GeorgeEdison yeah, my glasses don't fit right

Oh well..

yes, it is. you'ld think there might be a css slider for pos_x, pos_y, scale, and rotation

i suppose having hats at all is a bonus anyway so...

@AbrahamVanHelpsing exactly! that is possible... we need a STACK APP! :P

in other news I haven't figured out how to edit cookies :(

tamperdata or some cookie editor plug-in. loads of them exist

testing...

also, there is a bug in chromium that i despise (or an oddity in my setup) where when a download completes, sometimes it tries to restart the download in a new tab - repeatedly - until all memory is consumed or i killall chromium-browser. it's quite irritating

@AbrahamVanHelpsing weird. I haven't had anything like that.. ever. ( and I've used chrome since beta 1)

it's probably b/c i don't have the full base install in...and it freaks out not knowing how to open a given file-type

ah, you have it set to 'open after download' that could certaintly cause it

found the cookies... forgot that its just gibberish...

(e.g. zip files open as giving a listing of contents in the terminal) for some file-types it does that even if i don't tell it too

@iSeth should have saved one from yesterday before you got a hat and see what changed...

or just start bitflipping it and log out and in over and over ;)

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I cleared cookies this morning :(

my cookies clear on every graceful browser close...

are you sure its a cookie?

i'm pretty sure it's not. it was a joke

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I was gonna say.

so you know your "toolkit" made it when there's a VM of the sdk on turnkeylinux...speaking of sencha

and the canvas LMS. if it just had a linux streaming media server for video...

@iSeth sorry there's no movement on that question yet

@AbrahamVanHelpsing yeah, I saw that. I tried some experimentation today, but I don't have a tripod, so they where kinda ghosty... I don't really know what I'm doing ;)

well i think the tools are more about the editing, not necessarily the capture

right. That's what I meant. I don't have a tripod so the output was blurry because one of the pictures wasn't in line. I need to read its doc on auto aligning.

dear people that complained when google/youtube services were at the top of the search results... if i google: "movie name trailer" i should NOT get "news for xyz trailer" and imdb. i should get links to the trailer. thanks :)

Adding C++11 to Qt 5.0 == win.

@GeorgeEdison Good for you!

Adding C#5 + Mono Develop == fail :(

Now if only I could figure out what the error message I am getting means...

@iSeth you didn't need an assignment operator there...we knew it would return true for evaluation

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I was waiting for somebody to say something about that :P

Worst single error message ever.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing oops! :P

If you can tell me what that's saying, you win the Nobel Peace Prize.

hey, I was going to say that

Yes, but that message is pointing me to code in the Qt includes.

...which I doubt is the true source of the error.

yeah, it's when it tries to make a QNitroSharePrivate out of QObject. It thinks it's confused about QObject, but it's really confused about QNitroSharePrivate

just my 2 cents

It should work from what I can tell.

But it obviously isn't :P

No, it has the Q_OBJECT macro and derives from QObject.

kk, i thought it might have fallen under the "weird bugs" link in that section

Well I won't argue with the weird bugs part.

yeah, i'm not looking at an IDE, so if you say it's not related, it's not related. i'm shutting up for a while

I fixed it!

The problem was so simple - I was missing an argument before the third parameter.

:P

most issues are like that

huzzah, and it is fixed

Now back to writing code.

lol...i can't believe they named a book that:

amazon.com/gp/product/1597499579/…

Uh... ok.

O_o

I can't wait until I have to explain why I have that book to an investigator.

"But I was just reading it for fun!"

yeah, i would have understood offensive python or something.

@GeorgeEdison was it actually confused about QNitroPriv?

I think it was trying to interpret a function pointer as a class instance.

probably so...there was a * to Q in there

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Not sure how seriously I can take a Python book that recommends downloading tars to install modules rather than just using pip.

I finally have a working CMake-based Qt 5 setup.

...and I can honestly say it was worth the work.

Everything just works so smoothly now - I even get compilation progress thanks to CMake.

@Oli fair point, i just thought the name was quite funny
