@AmithKK oh sorry... know what? I was being awesome again >:D
 
partly successful.
Now go for pulseaudio debugging.
 
takky! what are you doing? >:D
 
Trying to convince Virtual Box of benefits from 13.04
 
ah!
I had that working last weekend :X
but I went back to 12.10 :X
 
Something with my host makes it hard to get it running, I guess.
(host is an elderly dual core)
> pulseaudio: symbol lookup error: pulseaudio: undefined symbol: cap_set_proc
 
7:40 AM
anyone here have an iphone and willing to test an answer I made? >:D
 
My mouse is not a phone.
 
I know I know >:D but your phone can be a mouse :=D
Not that I see ANY sense in having a phone to be my mouse. Not a single bit.
when I saw it I thought "synergy" might be able to do this. I used to love that :D
 
@Rinzwind: using a tablet as a tablet sounds... tempting tho
 
lol Journeyman still here?
 
lol
just got back from an exam, actually
 
7:43 AM
ah!
I slept for 3 hours >:X
I have this weekly periods where I can not sleep for more than 4 hours :P
 
Hey @JourneymanGeek. I msg'd you
 
lol
@AmithKK: thats lost somewhere in the 40 or so tabs I have open ;p
 
:P
You should use empathy
 
lol
I don't have an IM client on this system
I have pidgin on my laptop
 
I hate IM's. I also have no friends that IM me :D
 
7:50 AM
lol
I favour public chat for most things
wierdly
 
8:01 AM
me too
and I hate ppl that ask a Q and then totally change the Q into something else :P
 
MB :-)
@AmithKK my favo american comedy series. ever.
 
Mine too
 
and I generally do not like comedy >:D
I am more blood and gore minded >:D
 
screw shipping
@JourneymanGeek Know any good Headphones in the <400 range?
Or, is that the best?
 
8:11 AM
bbl :)
 
<-- just made his weirdest networking experience evva
 
Night all.
 
night @George @NathanOsman
 
@NathanOsman Good Night
 
@AmithKK: 400 what?
 
8:17 AM
@JourneymanGeek Rupees ofc
 
>_>
@AmithKK: no one reviews stuff at that price range ;p
though, unless it sounds bottom of a wellish, or has too much bass, it should be tweakable with EQ
 
aw, the spammers are working around the blacklist on vendorcode
 
and, they seem to wait for times of day when there are few mods around... :(
 
Yeah, I just went out for lunch. Boo
 
o/
 
@Mahesh o/
 
9:03 AM
oh I wrote aplha?
:|
 
I think it's SamH :P
 
umm.. okay.
 
No. it was you. the transparency bug.
 
hmm.. yup that. I remember adding the argument .
 
Wow
Planned Spamming
Do we buy so much from spam?
 
9:06 AM
@Mahesh yes. i fixed it. can we now try ... except on PermissionError?
 
I think this is some competition
 
@AmithKK dont think so
 
The person with the most spam flags win :P
 
@jokerdino where did I write aplha there? I see all alphas.
 
@Mahesh line 785
 
9:06 AM
oh. found it.
 
I dont know if it is bad that we have so many bugs or good that people are using our software and filing bug reports.
 
@jokerdino the 1st gets improved by making more new software and learning from mistakes so that will work itself out over time. The 2nd part ... well with no users the software is useless :=)
 
:)
we fix some 5 bugs every week.
 
just 5? >:D
 
:P
we only have 5k lines of code. what do you expect?
 
9:11 AM
or is that 5 = (bugs fixed -/- new bugs)?
 
as we fix one bug, we introduce another.
 
well someone once analyzed software and said 3 bugs for every 100 lines of code is expected :D
 
hm, so many more bugs to fix then.
 
:D
 
most bugs being reported these days were not introduced recently.
some were existing since the very first release.
I'm happy that people find them. The earlier, the better.
 
9:16 AM
Apport helps.
 
9:46 AM
I need help :c
 
you are welcome.
 
@jokerdino! Please help me ;c
 
I help you. c:
 
Yay! (^o^)/
 
So, are we done here?
 
9:47 AM
Uhm, with file permissions, should I be able to see hidden files with just the read permission, or do I need write, too?
 
read is enough.
if you want to write, then you need write.
2
 
Ugh... are you sure..?
 
what issues do you have?
 
@Mochan Hidden files aren't really hidden. Assuming you're talking about dotfiles, the dot isn't related to the permissions system and doesn't do anything security-related. It never affects what actions users can perform on or with the file.
 
I... have a folder. I am sure that it should have a hidden file in it, but it doesn't.
@EliahKagan What about hidden .iso files?
 
9:50 AM
I see. I think I know what sort of a folder you are talking about.
 
@jokerdino Haha... ;3;
Every other copy of the file I can find is the same size, so I'm sure it's there!
 
maybe it doesn't have the file.
 
@jokerdino It does... I think.
Maybe I should try ls in the terminal
 
ls -a
 
@jokerdino Ah, thanks.
Now to find the directory ;3;
 
9:53 AM
@Mochan or Ctrl+H in nautilus
 
@Mochan I'm not sure what you're referring to. Some file managers (including Nautilus) allow configuration files to customize what files in a directory are considered hidden. (But anyone can still press Ctrl+H and see them.) The extension or filetype is not taken into account in determining what basic actions you can perform on the file or on its containing directory. A file whose name ends in .iso and is hidden is just like any other hidden file.
 
IT'S THERE, @jokerdino!
@Mahesh I tried, it's not coming up.
@EliahKagan Don't worry. Thanks for your help.
 
@Mochan I am here.
So, I am not really going to ask you what kind of a file it was. Don't worry.
 
@Mahesh Nope... turns out I clicked on an extra folder .-.
@jokerdino lol... XD
 
if you have a hidden file that shows when you do ls -a and doesn't show when you do ctrl+h in nautilus, you found a bug.
@Mochan oh then file a bug against yourself.
3
 
9:55 AM
Yeah, so I'm fine. I clicked on ~/foo/bar instead of just ~/foo because I'm an idiot

@Mahesh ;n;
 
@Mochan +1. will read again.
 
@jokerdino ._. kick
erhamgerd i'm such a genius

Q: Any thoughts on how to react to gender-specific language?

MelanieThere have been a couple of times recently when someone has referred to me as "mate" in their comments or responses. I don't tend to be very sensitive about this stuff, and have really found very little sexism during my tenure as a computer professional. However, since my Stackoverflow userID is ...

i didn't notice until she posted the meta. xD
 
@jokerdino In Australia, everyone is 'mate', no matter your gender.
 
If I dont know who you are, then who are you?
 
10:00 AM
@jokerdino Is it bad that my head hurt a bit while reading that?
 
Yes. Bad for your head.
 
@jokerdino dies
 
Everyone else, you are welcome.
 
Everyone else, please exterminate @jokerdino.
Grumpy Cat left? .-.
 
He is my BFF. :(
 
10:03 AM
@jokerdino That wouldn't be hard to guess.
 
How can I be of assistance?
 
I choose you, @RolandiXor! ...wait, what? He's not here? Where are you~? :<
 
you hurt his feelings.
 
@jokerdino Lies.
Why isn't Eliah Kagan a mod already? .-.

LOL
I saw that, @jokerdino.
 
Welcome.
What am I doing here today?
@Mahesh around?
 
10:09 AM
you are fixing bugs :-)
 
@jokerdino yup.
@Rinzwind are we?
 
@Mahesh so, i am thinking we postpone features to s-cycle. because we have not more than a week.
 
Hello all
 
I might return in a few hours. See ya~
 
I saidyes, right?
 
10:10 AM
after raring is released, we slowly work on the fatures.
 
like 5 min. ago.
 
@Mahesh oh yeah.
 
someone brainwashed you?
 
ok we are good then.
 
@jokerdino I have a question that I can't seem to see the comments on
 
10:10 AM
@Mahesh yeah.
i had this lame convo here.
@Mitch link?
 
it was deleted by arno
 
K
What ever happened to izx?

@Mahesh so, we wait until this wednesday for more bugs and then i get a sponsor.

10:14 AM
ok cool.

YAY!!
:P :D
 
:P
i get to sleep.
hm, we need to rebuild pot.
 
wait.. strings changed? where?
 
your --reset-unity did. no?
 
I rebuilt pot in the same commit iirc
 
10:23 AM
noticed.
why you so smart?
 
@Mitch i heard a rumor he got banned :P
btw.. the frontpage sometimes does not show a community add. instead it shows a white unclickable square
 
@Rinzwind I really hate it, he was a good knowledgeable person.
 
so many things wrong here ->

Q: LAMPP getting same error after installing ia32-libs on 64bit machine

lon3ri am using Ubuntu 12.10 and i am trying to isntall LAMPP (XAMPP) 32 bit on my 64 bit machine. i searched few forums and come to know that LAMPP do not support 64bit OS. but authors suggesting to install 32bit libs to trick lampp. this is what i did so far. 1.Download / extract lampp 2.sudo apt-ge...

Q: How to deal with super-unspecific questions

Bennypr0faneI was about to ask for clarification to this question (like someone else already did), but the answering advice that pops up says to avoid that. So if I'm not supposed to ask someone to elaborate etc., how to respond to this kind of question? Just leave them to the abandoned void?

 
1:56 PM
works on an IDAPython script to completely and cleanly disassemble the broadcom firmware for bcm4300
 
@CallmeV /me wishes good luck. You'll need it. :P
 
2:28 PM
Mod around?
 
@CallmeV: What's IDAPython?
 
Can we get this reopened?

Q: Authentication required to install plug-ins and application

BlessieI cannot install new plug in to my linux computer. It keeps asking authentication required that needs a password. I do not know what the password is. Pls help me identify the problem or remove the restrictions so that I could install any application freely and easily.

So we can close it as a dupe :P
 
want it reopend seth? >:)
 
Yes
Than we can close it again >:D
 
2:38 PM
done
go post the dupe so I can waste a close vote :D
 
OK, time to close it again :D
 
done >:D
 
\o/
 
lol
I'm wierdly amused by this
 
@JourneymanGeek The funny thing is, there was a comment saying:
 
2:40 PM
Our pleasure. Anything to get you weirdly ammused!! @JourneymanGeek
 
> @mods wrongly flagged! Please ignore!
And then a mod came and wrongly closed it XD
 
yeah but a mod might not always look at comments and assume it on the question itself :P
and I looked at the comments and had to look 2 times to see that one ;-)
 
lol
 
question
since when does adding a menu item in alacarte add that to the launcher?
 
it does? O.o - any section?
 
2:45 PM
and TAKKY waves
 
waves back
 
wait. forget I asked
I read it wrong
 
its about creating a .desktop file using alacarte.
But its missing where to search for the new .desktop file.
Hence no UV from me.
just search is what I do all day long. With little success sometimes.
 
Interesting question:

Q: Virtual terminal (CTRL+ALT+(Fx) doesn't work

alexI'm trying to get to any virtual terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+F4 (for example) but the only thing i get is a black screen with the underscore blinking in the upper-left corner. The only thing I can do at this point is manually reboot the computer. Wasn't there supposed to be a terminal? What's h...

 
naa it is video card related seth :)
seen it before on my system when I installed a not 100% got working video card driver
 
2:57 PM
That's weird.
Didn't think something like that would be video card related...
 
frommemory: it is the framebuffer ;)
 
Ah OK.
 
oh just saw the link and the comment is probably a dupe... if he ever states he is using nvidia >:D
come to think of it... that might have happend to my system where I ended up on AU :D
 
Best bug ever then.
 
well I copted out and re-installed >:X
IIRC the desktop itself also had lines over the screen and clicking things was misaligned.
 
3:03 PM
Reinstall is surrender :P
 
I agree!
 
@Mahesh thanks for the well-wishing. and i know i'm in for pain, but it's coming along rather nicely so far.
 
YES another contender for the "how to misspell Ubuntu award"
Ubantu :D
 
No we need a recovery mod for Ubantu
--> no mods around
 
@Rinzwind That's where several Ubuntu users joyfully argue e.g. banter right?
@Mahesh ^^ that's where I am so far...

This kills me about using bounties to promote unanswered questions. There's a difficult question, a bounty is set, one answer is posted, the answer is dead wrong, gets downvoted into the negative, is deleted by the owner... and then since there's no better choice it's given the bounty. How lovely it would be if I could set a bounty with an indefinite expiration date!
I'd be handing out rep like candy.
 
I don't give away the bounty to dead wrong, but I will give away a bounty to not an ace answer so it doesn't disappear
 
you could have asked me.
i mess with gsettings every day.
 
@jokerdino Where have you been the last few days? :)
 
I was on sick leave.
Just came back on Wed.
 
@badp You have my sympathies.
 
@jokerdino mod intervention request: meta.askubuntu.com/questions/6500/…
 
5:32 PM
@badp btw, you still use Ubuntu? lol
 
@jokerdino do me a favor and either tell me i'm argumentative, and i'll delete my answer, or tell me that the guy ARGUING with me on this is being unreasonable
 
ok let me read for some context.
 
because there's a decent-enough size of a group of people to say "We're not creating this tag, that's that. </done>"
 
@jokerdino I've been playing games a lot so no, I mostly haven't.
I still like to keep up to date with things though.
This issue came up when I upgraded to 13.04
memory management woes in Windows might even kick me back here anyway
 
right. you are always welcome.
 
5:34 PM
as much as I like Windows 8, it manages to make it look like 4 GB of memory aren't enough to get by
 
i and some of my friends made 'unity-tweak-tool'. it is in 13.04 software-center.

btw, is there a reason why ctrl-alt numpad works for 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 5 but not 4 and 6?
 
i heard of that one.
let me find the question.
 
because it's an awesome idea but the most useful defaults don't seem to work

Q: Restore the Ctrl + Alt + Num Pad 4 and 6 window positioning commands?

holocronweaverUsing Unity in Ubuntu 12.04, the Ctrl + Alt + Num Pad combination for positioning windows no longer works completely consistently: Ctrl + Alt + 4 (move window to left half of screen) was changed to Ctrl + Super + Left Arrow. A similar change moved Ctrl + Alt + 6 to Ctrl + Super + Right Arrow. ...

 
5:36 PM
...uh, so it's by design
the more I know
 
they moved the shortcuts around.
 
I'm back
sup?
@badp Just fix it using compiz. Is it implemented in UTT yet @jokerdino?
 
i dont know. but we can reset the active plugins using UTT.
i wrote that line of code.
@TheLordofTime we are not creating the tag. what discussion are we doing again?
 
@jokerdino read the comments
specifically
"A decision has been made and that is that" is neither reasonable nor intelligible. — geezanansa 9 hours ago
that, and other comments, are of an argumentative nature
I'd like a mod to actually give them an answer which will SILENCE the arguing
otherwise we risk me going into selfdestruct mode, and that's bad.
/me has a horrid hangover from going out drinking yesterday, and this other person's arguments aren't helping him
 
yes yes. i dont find merit in this discussion.
i dont understand legacy bios
 
5:41 PM
then can you decisively end it please?
before i go on self.selfdestruct();
 
yes okay. i'll leave him a comment.
 
thank you :)
 
:)
 
5:58 PM
unity-tweak-tool is a very nice piece of software. Thanks for building it

we made it as a gift for Ask Ubuntu :P
