I played with it a bit more. The callbacks are triggering, but not working as I expect as of yet.

Porting This sourceforge.net/projects/camdesk/?source=dlp (cool app from Mike, give him the money) following wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/GStreamer1.0
Many things are not yet working. Broken: -video appears in new window ~ -no settings window yet
What has been done:
Changes folowing the porting guide
All indents are using four spaces even on line breaks (or python3 complains)
What needs to be done:
somehow connect the video to widget
settings window is broke, debug and fix
The settings window is instantiated. I just hid it because it instantiates on run and gets all in the way. I need to change some things, but it's better than it was.
also, it doesn't get focus just by being a toplevel window...so keypresses don't work unless you click the not working video window. still... it's progress
i'm getting no video capture at all. what package did you use to get the video source to show at all?
yeah, so they trigger. i think video isn't working so it's threadlocked and it's waiting for a capture thread that doesn't do anything to exit...hence my previous question
"Now if you're having any problems running CamDesk for Linux make sure you have V4L (Video4Linux), GStreamer, and Python installed. As well as the following dependencies... libgtk2.0-dev libgtk2.0-doc libglib2.0-doc
If you experience some problems testing CamDesk (black screen, first run successful and following run leading to black screen, …) check if your webcam is UVC (USB Video Class) Linux compliant. To do that, type in the terminal "lsusb".
Now head to http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices and check to see if your webcam is compatible."
maybe. i'm getting bored. i need to smoke and drink a coffee. see if it is invigorating. it might almost be easier to write the capture stuff from the sources i was using for the pebkac app
I remember reading that when I thought pygi was a good idea. I use it now only out of habit. If I were learning to use something now, I would us pyqt. Gtk lost the works everywhere card, so it doesn't seem worthwhile any more. I just haven't relearned everything for Qt yet.
doesn't fix the video issue, but most of the keypresses work. still need to fix the settings window instantiation and whatnot, but it's another step in the right direction
@Braiam there's too much blood in my nicotine and caffeine systems
everything seems fixed here except the video capture... if you're going to incorporate it on github let me fork it and suggest the commit...but it's here: pastebin.com/fj6vSjrV
heh....he found the wrong one of me. he was looking for schadenfreude
@Mateo anyway, it works mostly. i still have to fix the window parenting... but some of the bugs you had before are gone. settings window works and it recenters like it should on resize - which the original didn't even when setting worked. so yeah. are you sure you wanted it centered? shouldn't it be lower right justified or something?
@jrg anyway was not directed at you... they're distinct conversations. just making sure i didn't ruffle feathers
@ThomasW. mm... if I'm not mistaken the dates are fixed to the roadmaps according to the string freezes (which is somehow my answer was directed, and removed the 14.04 reference), or I did loose something after couple... well 4-5 years without translating stuff?
making it work is more this: bazaar.launchpad.net/~jderose/+junk/gst-examples/view/head:/… and less that. it's just a copy paste with a different source and some minor modifications. it would have been simpler to fork his junk folder and modify the window than muck about with making it migrate.
it would be sort of a mashup, but yeah. gst is so structurally different in pygi that it's like they're trying to break stuff.
anyway. i'll hit you back with something eventually. i'm just irritated with some me stuff and it's bleeding over in with my already existing pygi irritation.
in chromium it's shift+ctl+d for bookmark all tabs...
@Mateo remember to poing me about this stuff. i'll probs forget i meant to do anything with it, but i have the junk from jderose bookmarked and followed the you repo. so i should be reminded if i maintain my social bits. that's one of my weak areas though
How do i post links in comments and commands in chat?
whenever i post a link with a tag in comments,it doesn't work.And whenever i post a command with backtics in chat,it also won't work.
I was in the bath and I put an empty perfume bottle in my anus as I was very horny I was bored if normal sex so I tried this I was liking it and when I pulled the bottle put the lid was gone so I rushed to the toilet and had a poo just to make sure it would come out. I cant feel anything up there...
I'd like to run some minimum-expectation benchmarks on EC2, but I'm having an issue of high variability in my output data. Specifically, they keep giving me more CPU than I'm minimally entitled to, which is killing my ability to evaluate minimum performance when I'm only receiving my minimal CPU ...
Hi, I am trying to block new TCP packets which have flags set along with SYN. Like SYN & FIN set at same time. Will the below rule for iptables suffice-
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --tcp-flags ! ALL SYN -j DROP
@Mateo - here. haven't done bottom right justification yet, and it segfaults on setting state to play. it probably either has to do with not being able to find a place in the stream since it's live or not resizing the video to fit the display surface: pastebin.com/DFYGcZH1
anyway, pygi Gst is either busted or undocumented... so totally not worth it at this point. new apps should really use it, but it's quite painful when nothing works as you would expect.
I don't know that you flag something for being wrong... You just vote if it doesn't work for you. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's wrong, unless it's some bash obfuscation that expands to rm -Rf / or something
I am using fgets(), before that i need to flush stdin( to clear previous buffered characters), and i am using __fpurge() for the same. But this function not properly clering the stdin when entered/buffered characters are around 1000 .

If i get accepted to a new school, i have to learn Java. Excited, but also worried. Is Java relatively easy to learn? And are there some on-line sites to learn Java?
@blade19899 It's a programming language. It has its quirks but few languages don't.
The main problem these days is because Java is so old, so many different people have so many different ways of doing the same (or roughly the same) thing. If I were you, I'd just pick up a book and nail it until you "know" Java. After that you'll benefit more from random tutorials because you'll have the confidence to say "No, that's a crappy way of doing that, I'll adapt it"
I've ever only owned one (an ugly yellow Lewis and Loftus thing)... But this was 10 years ago. I've no idea what the new king is. Won't your syllabus set you one?
I'm deploying a few hundred laptops next year. I want them to be dual boot machines, and have the windows side of things worked out using sysprep. For the second OS I want to use Ubuntu, but am uncertain how best to configure this. I can load a disk-image easily onto the disk, but when it boots, ...

and then you want to investigate puppet or saltstack for managing them.
The reason I say investigate is that puppet has a higher overhead than saltstack, and can be a pain to manage past a certain point.
But for installs, you want to look at doing a PXE server for anything more than 20 laptops.
the reason I say 20 is that you'll spend about 15 laptop installs worth of time figuring out PXE, and then the rest will be done in no time at all.
hope that helps, for some reason people would actually pay me to say that to them... :P
If you have questions, let me know. I would gladly spend an hour on a skype call or something explaining things in some more detail, like how this plays into LDAP and stuff.
Lets check this:
http://data.stackexchange.com/ubuntu/query/146225/what-tag-is-most-common-for-first-posts
Well, someone see the problem? I do. The version specific tags and a bunch of overly general tags are overwhelming us. We are not asking ourself:
Who would filter using it? Who would t...
@jrg but I bet you don't see SO making a new tag for each version of ubuntu, or debian... hey, not even UL does! and SU has too since vista since too many things changed between xp/vista/7/8
but even so, they don't create a new tag for version... and please don't use mysql, becasue they have a master mssql tag and one of 2005, 2008, 2013 but ubuntu release 1 version each 6 months!
Ok, lets be fair, show me a single case where the tag is useful by its own.
@jrg could you write an answer with all those arguments so we can discuss?
@hbdgaf genius, that wraps up a lot of problems - send me a pull request on git hub, also I found and forked a similar project (in that it forces webcam into a window), I'm going try and work backwards removing stuff from that. Anyway Xlib forced it to Saucy and up (maybe a version down with ppas, but not precise) so on this computer testing on vm, they don't call it bleeding edge for nothing.
How can I find out what the mac address of the w-lan accesspoint I'm connected to is?

Use Spokentext.net. That is what I use nowadays. It is only $30 per year. It can be used on any operating system, pc, tablet, phone.
