4 hours left... quickly changes all his votes based on random number generator results

jokerdino

You can't change your votes, can you?

rlemon

yea.

just vote for someone else.

if I click @jrg for 1, then you.. you get my first vote, not @jrg

jokerdino

woah, i didn't know that.

rlemon

I was thinking of joing my local user group until I saw where they meet

jokerdino

LOL

Join the Ubuntu loco group perhaps?

rlemon

I don't want bums all up in my compiz.

William

proves that blender is related to Unity 3D.

Roland Taylor

@William no it does not.

I proves that you can export from Blender3D to Unity3D :)

jokerdino

Roland, how to make firefox use the chromify-osd thingie?

BRB

Octavian Damiean

Never say I should not update because that makes it even more interesting. :D

William

15:09

@RolandTaylor yes it does.

Roland Taylor

@jokerdino there's a plugin and a userscript, but the userscript needs fixing I think, so you'd have to ask George Edison.

@William no....

William

so there is a correlation

jrg

@OctavianDamiean ok, your risk.

Roland Taylor

Projects can be compatible without being related.

Octavian Damiean

No risk, no fun. :)

Roland Taylor

15:10

For example, Blender can manage FBX files (autodesk format) and 3ds Files (old 3DSMax format) - but is related to neither.

jrg

Hey, I like risk just as much as the next guy - I just want a system that works most (read: 50%) of the time.

William

Yes.

BTW just finished my blender presentation

taught them to make a table and four stools

and the duplicate object function

Octavian Damiean

Roland Taylor

@William nice!

4hrs left!

Octavian Damiean

Yup.

And I have to go to the doctor. :(

Again.

Octavian Damiean

Not only feeling, I am sick. :(

Roland Taylor

Octavian Damiean

Sinusitis and as it looks also a gastritis.

I may be prince charming, but I can't charm that :(

Jorge Castro

@StefanoPalazzo around?

jokerdino

That actually looks awesome. Can't wait to try it.

Q: How do I get a Boxee Remote working?

I purchased a Boxee Remote, which is an RF remote so I don't need to mess with lirc or anything like that. How do I get it working in Ubuntu for use as a media center remote?

can one of you clean up my comments?

jokerdino

15:42

I will look into a career of book writing.

Jorge Castro

my forum/mailing list rant made reddit and I want to use this as an example

jrg

@jokerdino Oh?

rlemon

hey guys i'm trying to do some db modeling (ugh) and I need some assistance. anyone? anyone?

Roland Taylor

@jokerdino I am considering it myself, but I must warn you, while it is enjoyable - the writing part is harder than it looks.

jokerdino

@RolandTaylor I have written stuff before.

So, I have some experience about the field there. ;)

Stefano Palazzo

15:44

@JorgeCastro did Oli do it already? if not, which comments?

Jorge Castro

all of them

well, I can remove my own

Oli

@JorgeCastro What about the last comment? That's written after your last edit

jrg

wow, someone who actually cares about reddit? ;P

Jorge Castro

@Oli I don't know why it doesn't work for him

but that should be a separate question anyway

Also, XBMC live isn't ubuntu afaik

it's likely they didn't include my AWESOME answer. :p

jokerdino

@jrg @RolandTaylor From what I see from your response, i think we can possibly co author some Ubuntu book? ;)

jrg

15:48

@jokerdino Sure.

Oli

@JorgeCastro XBMC live is based on the 10.04.2 LTS. Can you expand the answer back to 10.04?

Jorge Castro

Ah, there was no support for 10.04

I can add that

Roland Taylor

@jokerdino hehe yep

Okay... weird issue here...

Jorge Castro

@Oli done!

Roland Taylor

I upgraded blender last night (it was misbehaving before that and I had to close it) - and I can't open the file I was working on :(

And... I had done a lot of work on it...

Anyone know a way to recover .blend files?

Oh nvm :(

the file size is 0...

and I'm pretty certain file recovery won't recover this one :'(

All the hard work... down the drain...

jokerdino

15:53

:'(

Roland Taylor

:)

Amith KK

Hello all

Roland Taylor

Here goes... again...

@AmithKK hi read above...

rlemon

anyone.. I have done the model, and i think it will serve me.. i just need someone who is 'decent' with db design / models to take a peek .

Roland Taylor

That awesome thing you said wouldn't fly, won't fly :)

Amith KK

15:56

@RolandTaylor Aww.. Maannn

I meant the Physics

Roland Taylor

I know...

but... it's gone :/

I should have made sure to copy the files from /tmp before shutting down :(

Amith KK

@MisteriousForceWhoDeletedThat File Undo that :D

@RolandTaylor YU SAVE IN /tmp

Roland Taylor

@AmithKK Blender saves backups there by default

Amith KK

@RolandTaylor You should change that

Roland Taylor

I'm going to put them in Dropbox and U1 from now on

jokerdino

15:59

Good night guys :@

Roland Taylor

@jokerdino cya

Amith KK

@jokerdino cya

@jrg It was an undocumented feature of RVM

@RolandTaylor I need your Vast knowledge of english

jrg

@AmithKK most of those can be fixed by doing rvm get head

Amith KK

@jrg Nah, I did sudo gem install heroku instead of gem install heroku

Roland Taylor

@AmithKK sure

jrg

16:02

oh...

i thought I told you more than once not to ever user sudo with rvm? :P

Octavian Damiean

Amith KK

Amith KK

Octavian Damiean

Yay. :)

rlemon

^ Can we tell i've started playing minecraft?

MOAR BLOCKS!

Stefano Palazzo

I'm sorry to hear that.

Octavian Damiean

@rlemon Soon you Minecrafters will have 256 blocks world height and there will be more blocks. :)

rlemon

:< i'm waiting for paypal!

Octavian Damiean

16:55

T -2 hours.

rlemon

Ok so i'm designing this as part of the inventory / sales / shipping system..

I'm putting together the inventory stuff.. and i'm working on the table schema.

Amith KK

\o/

@StefanoPalazzo Typo, Its highlighting

Roland Taylor

this is ridiculous.

Compiz is supposedly more stable?!

Stefano Palazzo

:)

Octavian Damiean

Oh right! I should reboot.

rlemon

17:03

all materials and all modules have suppliers, a module is built from materials, materials can be built from other materials. Components can be sold as service parts so need to be indexed seperatly. components can be built from other components, materials, or modules. products are only assembled components.

Amith KK

@rlemon What in the name of GNU is that? It looks cool

Anybody with a Phone with international calls/SMS?

rlemon

i'm missing the circular reference for component_material_required.

Jason Salaz

Network wide, indeed. That's a bit of a nuisance.

Where is chat.stackexchange.com/privileges ? :P

Amith KK

@JasonSalaz Its on your site :D

Jason Salaz

That's a bit confusing, considering I don't have 10K on any one site.

Octavian Damiean

@JasonSalaz Right there. apple.stackexchange.com/privileges

Amith KK

@JasonSalaz Its Global rep i.e All site rep as a sum

Jason Salaz

17:12

But yes, I am aware of the 10K moderation tools privileges per-site.

Amith KK

Q: several Unity bugs, maybe common cause

Since Ubuntu 10.04 and Unity, I noticed that it has lots of bugs, but I have been very busy and don't have time to find and set up another distribution. I been suffering trough it. I upgraded into 10.10 week ago and nothing has been fixed. Eclipse freezes from time to time (every 5-20 minutes)...

unity 10.10 10.04 bug eclipse

OT

Ronan Forman

@rlemon You around?

Stefano Palazzo

less than 10 kiloseconds until the election is over. Anyone excited? \o/

jrg

@StefanoPalazzo wait what?!

I thought we still had a few hours!!

election ends in 2 hours grumble

Stefano Palazzo

I've decided to switch to decimal time ;)

jrg

17:23

@AmithKK Sorry. was busy getting food.

Stefano Palazzo

10 kiloseconds is about 2.6 hours in old money - but I'm trying to start a trend here

jrg

Oh. I missed the kilo part of 'kiloseconds'. :P

@rlemon Not bad.... I like it.

Stefano Palazzo

hah, sorry if that gave you a fright :)

jrg

you kinda did. :P

Ubuntu enterprise looks like normal ubuntu, but withs some major differences.

Ronan Forman

You guys are having an election too? Cool, we should have a party together.

Octavian Damiean

17:26

Isn't an hour 3k6 seconds (60 * 60)?

jrg

@RonanForman Yup. :)

Octavian Damiean

Oh 2.6 hours, I see. :D

Makes sense now.

jrg

How long until Gaming's election is over?

Ronan Forman

@jrg It ends at 8 too.

jrg

Cool. :D

Octavian Damiean

17:28

So also in 9k3 seconds.

Stefano Palazzo

@OctavianDamiean yep, my new system is so much easier

I should really make it 2^n, 1024 seconds in a kilosecond shouldn't I

Octavian Damiean

heh

Ronan Forman

Is this your first election?

Stefano Palazzo

@RonanForman it's the second one

Octavian Damiean

Is that the Palazzian Time Notation?

jrg

17:29

Ok, thats slick. Ubuntu detects its running in a VM, and offers to install the guest additions for me. grins

Stefano Palazzo

not if I can help it :) it'll be "SI-Time" (Système international de confusion d'unités)

jrg

its so cute watching Ubuntu do all my work for me. :P

Octavian Damiean

@jrg Because it's smart. :)

jrg

@OctavianDamiean Very smart. :)

Just wish i had the time to setup a squid proxy and have dad route everything through that, then I wouldn't have to deal with all the apt-cacher-ng stuff. :P

Octavian Damiean

@StefanoPalazzo heh I like your interpretation of that name. :D

jrg

17:38

If the ubuntu version of VMware view is any good, I could see a lot of companies moving to Ubuntu desktop and just turn everything else into VMs.

Octavian Damiean

It is not bad.

As far as I know.

Stefano Palazzo

@jrg did you notice any differences apart from pre-installed software?

jrg

@StefanoPalazzo other than the installer being different, I haven't

the dash overview is differenct, let me snag a screenshot

Octavian Damiean

What are you guys testing? The Ubuntu Business Remix?

jrg

yes, the business remix

Octavian Damiean

17:43

Cool.

jrg

Stefano Palazzo

I'm not. Got 2 gb of free disk space :\

jrg

so unless i'm missing something, its running a custom unity.

@StefanoPalazzo wget the ISO, burn to CD, boot. done. :P

Stefano Palazzo

@jrg that looks kind of cool

apart from the libreoffice icons

jrg

its got most of the SRUs already done, I downloaded a java update and that was about it...

@StefanoPalazzo i know right?

Octavian Damiean

17:44

@BrunoPereira How much did the shipping cost by the way?

You didn't give me your PayPal id yet!

rlemon

@RonanForman wuddup

Ronan Forman

@rlemon How's the emoticon thing coming?

rlemon

17:46

works but VERY laggy

jrg

@StefanoPalazzo Only truly different thing is its got java pre-installed.

I think it has flash done as well, but I haven't checked yet

Ronan Forman

@rlemon Can I try it out?

Stefano Palazzo

that sort of makes sense I suppose

rlemon

@RonanForman basically the issue is each 'post' the entire page is parsed.. I just need to parse the new stuff.

jrg

Did you see my screenshot on G+ of the installer?

rlemon

17:48

https://gist.github.com/1792841

my bad

Ronan Forman

@rlemon How do I use it?

Octavian Damiean

:D

jrg

Its ok. :P

@StefanoPalazzo i think byobu is installed - i'm pretty sure it just flew by my updates.

if so, that'd be interesting.

rlemon

@RonanForman click 'raw' to install it... chrome://extensions/ to manage it (and disable it)

Ronan Forman

@rlemon Clicking it just brings up the code in a new window.

rlemon

17:49

nvm... apperently RAW doesn't do it.

click here to install

i will need to overwrite the default XHR callback.

I know how to write it properly just been to busy

Octavian Damiean

Oh wait, misread that.

rlemon

write things properly ?\

Ronan Forman

You should make it bring up the original text if you hover over the icon.

rlemon

what did you think i said.

@RonanForman ok, easy enough

Octavian Damiean

I thought you mean overwriting a XHR event.

jrg

17:55

I am disappoint - there is no ssh server that I can see.

how am I supposed to administer these systems without SSH?! O_o

rlemon

what systems

jrg

these ubuntu enterprise ISOs. :P

@StefanoPalazzo it has flash pre-installed.

Stefano Palazzo

@jrg presumably so you can look at youtube while you're at work :)

and play flash games

that's what I call "user centric design"

jrg

@StefanoPalazzo see, I was thinking it was so we could do some ancient legacy application dev. :P

Stefano Palazzo

I wonder

maybe there are business apps written in flash

how sad :(

jrg

17:59

wow, watching youtube through the VM is better quality than watching it on my actual browser. :P

Ronan Forman

@rlemon Can you also use this as the sprite image, so I can edit it too.

jrg

i will never watch youtube on localhost again. lol
