@AvinashRaj still your answer is incomplete
@Braiam Yes i know that,using qmake i had created Makefile and project file after that what i do,plz help.
lets put it this way:
normal       -       qt project
./configure  -       qmake
make         -       make
make install -       make install
@AvinashRaj ^
@seth I think is like that?
02:08
though, checkinstall is probably a better choice IMO

Q: Recently installed applications missing from $PATH

themirrorWhen I install apps using apt-get or NVM or NPM on Ubuntu, I can type the command and it works. Then I log out of the shell and log back in. Now none of the things I installed work when I ask for them because they are apparently not on my $PATH. How can I ensure that whatever apps I install are...

@Braiam Never built a Qt project.. Ask @NathanOsman
Qt has lots of baked in magic. I'm sure it's documented somewhere.
\o/ for the simple django site being done. also, i gave up on django chronograph working properly and just went back to crontab jobs.
django sounds cool
If I actually ever had to do something big I might learn it..
Mine wasn't big. I'm just aggregating what I think could be useful data in one spot and exposing it as a single json query after validation...serving it up straight from gunicorn memcached instead of actually letting it reach django. I like that I can just drop the awesome that is python inside a website.
I'll add a blog to it eventually, but for now it's just data... b4qfjqq66sejeifd.onion.to
03:24
Sure, I'm just saying for the little server side stuff I have to do PHP works fine, since I know some of that.
I don't want to learn a whole new system just to send an email. (that kind of idea)
Yeah. I just despise php and love python so it was a logical choice for me
@hbdgaf Hmm. I didn't know .to was a valid.. whatever you call those.
@hbdgaf Yeah same here.. Just don't have time to learn it all over again lol. At least, right now I don't have time.
.to is a valid tld. someone registered onion.to to act as a web gateway to onion links without needing a browser plugin or mangling up domain name resolution
That's cool
yerp. it's nice for just browsing onion links when you don't really care about the privacy aspect of the thing and you just want a droppable url with dyndns for free
03:29
Wow.. Biggest Wall of Textâ„¢ post ever: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/105854/…
whoa. the short version: "Why is it generally bad to ask for links to documentation?"
Answer: "SE is about succinct answers to problems, not links to docs. If you're asking for links to docs, you're not contributing to the site being useful. A how do I do this, with a use case answer AND links to the docs is great, but docs links are bad answers. Enough said."
IKR. So annoying.
Must...resist...posting...that...to...the...thread.
03:52
lol
It's hard, but it wouldn't be helpful. If getting the point across were that simple, it wouldn't have escalated as far as it did and become a textwall
@Seth using qmake i had created Makefile and project file after that what i do,plz help.
@AvinashRaj qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-common-projects.html he already told you it's not something he knows and @Nathan isn't around right now.
why are you building against qt3?
04:03
i don't know how to do that,plz help.
sqlitebrowser is available via apt-get. you don't have a legitimate reason to need to build it from source i think. if you do, from the looks of wherever you got that trunk, you have to set up a qt3 dev environment, which would be old. not something i'm interested in doing. just apt-get install sqlitebrowser
IF you did have a reason to install from sources, use the apt-get source route then try merging trunk in to the deb-src and looking at the changes... I'm not doing all that for you
i am trying to provide answer for this askubuntu.com/questions/384635/…
no, you're trying to get someone else to provide an answer to that so you can get some rep ;)
04:22
if you know the answer plz post it as another answer for that question,i will give +1.

rajagenupulawe have two methods for you. read them and choose simple one to you. Pess CTRL+ALT+F1 to get into console mode after you reach login screen. Then type as Method 1: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf It will open a file and looks like user-session=ubuntu greeter-session=unity-greete...

@Mochan Well that's the cheesiest Kickstarter intro I've ever seen. But yeah, there are a few battery powered bluetooth receivers (eg JUSTOP BTR006). These do lack the external controls and don't solve the fact that bluetooth 2.x's bandwidth isn't enough to handle lossless audio.

A: How to Install 0 A.D.?

blade19899To install the Latest 0 A.D. on Ubuntu lucid to saucy, add its official ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wfg/0ad sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install 0ad The above ppa, supports the following versions of Ubuntu: Saucy (13.10), Raring (13.04), Quantal (12.10), Precise (12.04), Lucid (10.04)...

@blade19899 eek - 27 revisions - the post has gone CW hence why no rep now.
I figured it might have something to do with the revision. Ah well
Thanks!

@blade19899 I'll roll that back to non-CW. We can do this at our discretion when we can see the normal rules don't apply. You've clearly put a lot of work into making it the best it possible can be.
@Oli, nah. Didn't really put a lot of work in to it, just to get points. I really like the game, and its open-source attitude. Am not even a gamer. xD

About the desktop environments, he can just select - at login screen - Ubuntu again. Right?
@rajagenupula - apparently 1 upvote actually takes it out of the unanswered queue.
13:13
@blade19899 I did posted what came to my mind at that time. But you also right .
@fossfreedom so you mean fine ?
yeah - no need to canvass here for more upvotes ;)
Ow, it still fixed his issue, so no worries
okay
Thank you for your time
and canvass sounds odd little bit. but okay.

Good Q, and i definitely understand SQL injection now.

Q: Why Linux is not more popular than Windows?

user221363Is Linux more secure than Windows? Is Linux more Windows Professional? For Windows users do not payØŸ Linux is free so why is not more popular than Windows?

15:28
Why do we have a chat if we have an irc?
@samgabbay because irc...
@samgabbay: 'Askubuntu' dosen't have an IRC
SE has chat, and it happens that AU has a room in it
so why dont they just put askubuntu in the irc?
@samgabbay: you're free to use that too
im just questioning. oh well
15:32
what is your issue with this chat @Sam?
its not an issue, its a simple question
This chat is not on IRC.
oh
actually if you guys wanna help me, askubuntu.com/questions/384673/…
ohhhh
@samgabbay: stackexchange (who host and run AU) has their own homebrew chat system with blackjack and hookers some pretty nice things, like being able to edit your posts (with history!) and oneboxing
oh :P
15:35
(slightly ironically, the heart of SE is ASP/.net/IIS/MSSQL ;p)
how can i actually speed up my minecraft gaming with my amd card
@samgabbay: there was this patch I used before that did miracles for my minecraft sessions
@samgabbay I maybe wrong, but I think that chipset is not supported by AMD anymore.
@JourneymanGeek what patch? and cause what i did is that i tryed installing fglrx and nothing worked, i reinstalled my whole system but iw anna know at least how i can speed up minecraft.
@fossfreedom then what do i do?
@samgabbay: optimine
15:38
@samgabbay buy new one or cry... you decide...
@JourneymanGeek how could i get that patch?
@samgabbay You need to check if it was supported on 12.04 - if it was - then you'll be in-luck - you can install the proprietary driver from the additional drivers window.
@Braiam ur kidding? my graphics work fine on xubuntu when it comes to games, its bad
minimum requirements for minecraft:
CPU : Intel P4 or its AMD Equivalent (AMD K7)
RAM : 2GB
GPU : Intel GMA 950 or AMD Equivalent with OpenGL 2.1 Support
HDD : At least 100MB for Game Core and Sound Files
Recommended Requirements:

CPU : Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz
RAM : 4GB
GPU : GeForce 6xxx or ATI Radeon 9xxx and up with OpenGL 2.1 Support (Excluding Integrated Chipsets)
HDD : 150MB

Q: How do i connect all my accounts to my stack exchange account

samgabbayI have my main stack exchange account but i firstly want to delete the other ask accounts i made on other services like google if possible. then i want to know if i can merge all my accounts for example my google account. is this possible? if so how?

15:40
@fossfreedom my graphics is mostly supported on 12.04 but wouldnt it just be better to stay up to date? or i should just go back and @blade19899 i can fill those requirements on windows. minecraft runs well on windows when i had it on windows
@samgabbay the latest ubuntu doesnt really mean the best - common confusion.
@samgabbay windows uses directx, linux uses mesa, you comparing apples to oranges
@fossfreedom so you recommend that i go all the way back to 12.04.1?
@Braiam lol
@samgabbay How did u install minecraft? Manually, PPA?
@samgabbay 12.04.3 is the latest - 12.04.4 is in January (from memory). Depends on your definition of "laggy" - what do you mean?
15:45
@samgabbay look, you may have more luck checking if your card has opengl support using glxinfo|grep render, otherwise we will be in the dark
if it does support opengl install minecraft following these instructions: omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/minecraft-installer-for-ubuntu
If minecraft is not - for some reason - available via unity launcher. try this:

Q: How to add Minecraft to Unity launcher

SpaisekraftI'm having trouble getting Minecraft to launch when I add it to the launcher. If the game is running, I can right click on the icon in the launcher and select "keep in launcher" and the icon stays, but the game won't launch from it. If I create a launcher on the desktop, then drag that launcher ...

Q: How to correctly install and troubleshoot Minecraft (Client)

Luis AlvaradoHow to correctly install Minecraft, including setting any needed packages or apps to install it and to troubleshoot the most common problems that Ubuntu users face when trying to user Minecraft. I am trying to install and run Minecraft without first having to install the Oracle version of Java. ...

i dont think my graphis supports opengl but il see
and yes im using the launcher
wait so what do you guys recommend, i go back to 12.04.1 and get the propetary driver (my driver is only supported till 12.04.1) or use the open source and find a way to make minecraft work?
@samgabbay google for it ;p
15:57
@JourneymanGeek google what?
optimine?
@JourneymanGeek found it but i dont think it will fi much
fix*
so im trying to decide if i should just use the open source drivers or backdown to ubuntu 12.04.1
so what do you guys recommend, i go back to 12.04.1 and get the propetary driver (my driver is only supported till 12.04.1) or use the open source and find a way to make minecraft work?

Q: Replace all files except one with rsync

Desmond HumeI'm currently using rsync as follows rsync -az --delete ... What option can I use with rsync to replace all destination files that already exist except for one specific file that should not be replaced if already exists? Sure, if the file doesn't exist at the destination, it should be put there.

16:37
sadly no one answered my question
@samgabbay I dont have an amd graphics chip - so cannot help you :/ Its one of the reasons why I refuse to buy AMD/ATI laptops.
@fossfreedom ah :/ i rally dont know what to do, should i post a askubuntu question about this?
you've already got a question about this (13.10) - what further question would you envisage?
like if i should go back to 12.04.1 or stay with open driver
well that could be a valid answer to your question
16:44
what do you mean
@samgabbay again I tell you, you are screwed... either pray that mesa supports your card or that your card supports OpenGL... either solves your problem and is simple to fix if it doesn't....
unless you want to buy a card with opengl
can i send you my specs?
do not send me anything... I don't know what you will be sending, I just only know that you need to run glxinfo | grep render and that suffice to know how screwed you are
im sending you an html file lol and okay il try that
@samgabbay do an disk image backup. Then install ubuntu 12.04.1 - finish all the updates then install the suggested proprietary driver. If stuff doesnt work out, just restore your disk image which you've done.
16:48
@fossfreedom if i update, the drivers wont work no more cause it will update to .3
@samgabbay ?? The kernel and graphics stack doesnt automatically update if you install an earlier ubuntu version.
anyway - home-time for me. bbl.
@fossfreedom oh, so first, should i try to get my graphics working? or go back straight to 12.04.1
17:30
Can a mod please help me? I clarified my question askubuntu.com/questions/385055/… as a non-duplcate but I am not sure how to remove the [duplicate] tag from the title
@DeoxNa if I read correctly the forum that you linked, the question is impossible to solve due a bug and bugs are offtopic
BBT
Good Night
18:00
@Braiam Hmm... Well my intention with my question was to find a different solution that doesn't rely on the bugged xdg-open. I realize I could have been clearer about that but I did edit the post to address it.
Apparently the serverfault people, including their mods, don't care about writing complete answers...
anyone know how their site still stays afloat without complete answers? :/
I'm more likely to get actual answers here on Ask Ubuntu than on Server Fault...
@ThomasW. did you check math... there's a guy that gives "hints" instead of answers :P
@DeoxNa workaround for bugs, patches, etc. etc. "bug + fix" questions are offtopic...
@ThomasW. you think I should post a self-answered question about how to debug chromium/chrome?
@ThomasW. at 64% answer rate, we are doing great
*67%
yay, we are below the 200 q/day again!
(blames weekend and blackfriday)
i3-wm doesn't use unity, right?
18:19
nope
@jokerdino we actually have complete answers, unlike the "Here's how you get a list of IPs to block, you can translate the list into firewall rules yourself" tards over there who only give half-answers
so i'm stuck with a list of about 450 IP addresses. How the hell do i translate those into firewall rules?
you can see my problem with the serverfault people now, if they're only giving half-answers
@ThomasW. loop into bash?
I mean, if the rules are all the same....
and how do you propose i script that without advanced bash knowledge?
@Braiam downvote it into the abyss
18:30
Advanced bash knowledge? Is there a pattern to the IP addresses?
And I suppose you're using ufw for the firewall?
@jokerdino Yeah, just great.
@Braiam, i gave him a link to read!
@Seth iptables, not ufw
@ThomasW. Why are you using iptables?
because reasons
the use of a firewall isn't the issue here though seth :p
the issue is how to translate this into actual addable firewall rules
Sure.
Dunno if I can help, but let me look.
Gah. What's up with people using Tor these days.
Hmm. Is there a continue statement in BASH?
Ah yes there is.
18:38
for "ips" do iptables --bla ip -j DROP done
@Braiam i know how to write the rules...
what i need is a way to mass-translate the list of IPs INTO the rules
so i don't have to go through by hand and add each IP manually
which will take days
@ThomasW. for i in cat file; do iptables -A -s $i -j DROP; done
wait...
for i in $(cat file) do
 iptables -A -s $i -j DROP
done
My Ubuntu 13.10 audio just dies out of no where, and it keeps doing it. I keep doing sudo alsa force-reload but, this isn't really handy :(
Something more like:
lineNum=0

for i in $(cat file)
  if [ "$lineNum" -le 3  ]; then
    lineNum=lineNum+1
    continue
  else
    do iptables -A -s $i -j DROP
  fi
done

Sorry, but can someone review my answer here - I am sort of trying to get something else finished right now. Pardon me for interrupting your chat Seth
@wilf You're fine :)
@ThomasW. Look up there --^
#!/bin/bash
file=$1
sed -i '/^#/d' $1
for i in $(cat $file)
   do echo "iptables -A -s $i -j DROP"
done
@ThomasW. there :P
@Seth you must use sed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sed is so confusing..
lol
But yeah, would be better.
Isn't your do out of line?
18:56
@ThomasW. mine assumes you have the script downloaded ;)
@Seth bash isn't python :P
Right, so put your do where it belongs, Python doesn't have one :P
But I dunno. Bash just gets confused easily.
Doesn't this need to set the alias for rm -rf not just rm?
@Seth no, his problem is that he doesn't know how much force --force/-f uses...
@Braiam So an alias for rm will automatically work for rm -rf too?
OK.

user180196The most complete answer I've found around is this one http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/ I've a motherboard ASUS P8H77-M PRO and the third hint worked for me.

Can we add the essentials from a link ourself?
in the answer itself?
@blade19899 in teory, yes. But most don't because *effort*
@blade19899 Yes.
@blade19899 and I'm sure that the question is a dupe...
I understand that. But, this one is seriously just copy-paste. I don't understand why he himself didn't do it.
ow.

Q: Zenity progress bar affects variables

pikachuHi guys I am currently trying to implement zenity progress bar to my while loop, however I noticed that my variable which are meant to be incremented did not increment. Here is a sample test script I tried: i=0 p=0 while [ $i -lt 10 ] do i=$[$i + 1] echo $i p=$[$p + 1] done | ...

is the changed value i and p inside do while loop can be brought outside?
At the question it was only asked why the values are not changing in presence of zenity? I explined it is changing indeed but not coming outside the loop.
@Braiam zsh > bash because aliases
I see myself doing please apt-get install apache2
I see myself saying "do [command]"
but that'd probably error
shouldn't be too hard to do alias do=sudo
20:23
please let me know if it is possible.
good night.

this reads as opinion based, anyone else want to torpedo it? askubuntu.com/questions/385165/is-ubuntu-a-good-solution
Used my last torpedo.
who pinned that advert?!
@braiam didnt u create one much longer on the same tag? I approved that one first...
22:49
@fossfreedom maybe Nathan did (chat mods are chat mods everywhere)
tsk ... tsk ... tsk...
It seemed on topic to me. Lots of books about Ubuntu there.
It's only for today (Cyber Monday).
what's cyber monday? sounds american to me.
That's the online equivalent of Black Friday, I guess.
...which used to be American, but has become more global.
You can take it down if you want... but I just thought some people might find it useful.
Myself - just a little old fashioned I guess... prefer wandering in real shops!
23:08
@Alvar one is the tag excerpt and other the tag wiki :/
@fossfreedom nuke this: askubuntu.com/a/385183/10616
it's not an answer
@ThomasW. my answer... I'm pretty nasty? I provoque people to make NAA D:
@Braiam heh.
i fixed the error, but the NAA is bad form
i even commented as such:
"You do not need to comment on minor misspellings. As well you should NEVER post coments on other answers as answers to the question."
(although they do make a point @Braiam, it is --no-install-recommends so your code copy-pasted in would break)
nah, the thing wouldn't work if the mm wasn't corrected
that's what i said in my last message?
23:13
you are lagging ¬_¬
based on that i think its you who is lagging
that's the transcript
timestamps show my message came in before your stating that it wouldn't work if it wasn't corrected.
(confirmed to be the same on a version of the transcript where I'm not logged in)
<---- never lags...
then you got load balanced to the slowest chat server. either way. not really that important is it?
