That policy is worst than arch forums, if you been there you know what i mean :) anyway, I tried elementary and didn't detect my wifi drivers so I'll stick to xubuntu and install pantheon, that's the smartest solution: staying with the OS that is working on my machine - getting the DE that I like - still getting support here - running 13.10 not lts which is installed on elementary - win win situation — Fischer 1 hour ago

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 applies to all BUT spammers

@RPiAwesomeness, I hate my enemies momentarily.

falconer

What did I **** up here that broke the guys machine? (If anyone can enlighten me, cause looks I made a big mistake.)

askubuntu.com/posts/411536/revisions

The libc6 install caused the problem according to him, which rendered the system useless

Seth

oh noes. not libc6

RPi Awesomeness

@Seth replies? What ho?

Seth

@falconer 64 bit doesn't mix well with 32 bit.. I have no idea why.. it's not like Windows.

falconer

Actually we were trying to make him able to run 32 bit apps, cause he couldn't run any.

Q: Battery issues on a Lenovo Ideapad Z460 running Ubuntu 13.10

I've been using Ubuntu 13.10 on my Lenovo for more than 5 months without a problem. Yesterday I disconnected the AC adapter to take the laptop with me to the couch and it simply shut down. So I reconnected it to at least be able to check what was going on and, to my surprise, the OS seems to be r...

Seth

Ah, @jrg . Can I get your help for a second?

RPi Awesomeness

20:36

Ubuntu Touch here we come!

blade19899

Well... no... not stable enough!

Plus, if Ubuntu receives the same attention as Android, IPhone. well.... godamnit.

RPi Awesomeness

Oh screw the NSA.

blade19899

Baby steps. ubuntu-touch turns stable, then well see what happens

RPi Awesomeness

Yes

Seth

@blade19899 I'm kinda worried about it too.

blade19899

20:38

as long as the code remains open-source

RPi Awesomeness

/me thinks about writing own phone OS

blade19899

No worries right?

RPi Awesomeness

Akuna Matata :)

Or whatever Pumba says...

Seth

LOL

RPi Awesomeness

:)

blade19899

20:39

@RPiAwesomeness, one could write an os. If the hardware remains the same. No need to support hardware you don't use

RPi Awesomeness

?

blade19899

mikeos.berlios.de

github.com/mig-hub/mikeOS

Already got you started

@RPiAwesomeness, if you only have one set of hardware to support. Then you only need it to get stable on that set of hardware. Reduces the time to write code for other set of hardware

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 was referring to phone OS :) and I've see that. Must've taken some work!

I believe he ported it to RPi, but I'm not sure

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness oooowwww. Well then the same rules apply. One set of hardware

RPi Awesomeness

Anyone here like rock/dubstep remixes of rock? Cause then I have a doozy. Google Red Death of Me Guillotine remix Found it on their newest album. EPIC BAND!

@blade19899 Yeah, except I don't have a phone :)

Am, am, am, going to do some work.

RPi Awesomeness

O.o ?

blade19899

U don't have a phone

MikeOS is pretty basic.

RPi Awesomeness

Nope.

No phone. Period

don't even have a tablet

I'm currently saving to build a desktop and then to get a Nexus 7

blade19899

Nexus saving are not supported by the ubuntu-touch anymore

Ubuntu Touch Nexus 5 Support On Hold, Other Nexus Devices Dropped

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah, I noticed that, which kinda sucks, but it's still the best device for your money out there now

@blade19899 Weren't those leaked by Snowden?

Lucio

I get this on PHP:

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 2 to be long

why??

RPi Awesomeness

:\ Dunno. I have yet to use PHP, probably should.

Wouldn't just converting parameter 2 to long work? You could then convert it back into int or whatever later...?

Just my 2 cents, I'm not a PHP programmer in the least :P

Lucio

@RPiAwesomeness this is the line:

htmlspecialchars($object_title, ENT_HTML5, 'UTF-8')

RPi Awesomeness

No clue then :P Wierd

Seth

@blade19899 Yep. I figured it was, but I can't reject good edits unless I'm positive.

@blade19899 You need to be running Gnome..

blade19899

@Seth i don't have it installed, yet.

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell? if i remember correctly?

Seth

@blade19899 oh.. if you're going to install it, I just need gnome-flashback

Oh wait, 13.10? Never mind.. I know how to do it there.

blade19899

@Seth sudo apt-get install gnome-flashback it is

What worries more is: who accepted their edit suggestions?

blade19899

Is he trying to scare people away

Mateo

@Seth ok

blade19899

21:42

@Seth Ignore him? will do

Seth

@Takkat I did some of them. What a user names himself shouldn't effect my reviewing should it?

Takkat

@Seth it shoud. Now they have their name and face displayed.

<-- feels offended by this

Seth

@Takkat So what am I supposed to do? Reject it with "I don't like your name"?

@Takkat Oh. I forgot you were German.. I try not to let myself get offended, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see him deleted/changed.

blade19899

Delete him.

I just clicked on his homepage

Takkat

We can't flag user's bio, can we ?

Seth

21:45

@Takkat no, you have to flag his posts.

Takkat

They have only edits.

Seth

@blade19899 Don't. If he's our spammer don't give him any IP data to go on.

@Takkat You could flag a question he's edited and explain.. as best as possible.

@Seth Dang...that's a lot. And the last thing on the list is Enemy Territory (at least for me, as I have playdeb installed) Coincidence?

@blade19899 Why do you use Tor? Just wondering, I've considered doing it for the privacy...

Seth

@blade19899 askubuntu.com/posts/395160/revisions >_>

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness privacy and porn. And to browse justin bieber youtube page. without people knowing...

Blog - Stack Exchange: Stack Exchange for Android is here!

David Fullerton on January 27, 2014

This mobile thing will never last, right? We figured if we waited long enough, this whole “mobile application” thing would blow over and everything would go back to the way it used to be. You know, when phones were for calling people, and computers were for typing long, angry rants about how things aren’t the way they used to be.

In retrospect, we may have misread that one a bit. It turns out that even for Stack Exchange mobile is eating the world.

So today we’re excited to announce that Stack Exchange for Android is finally available for download on the Google Play store, for Android phones version 4.0 (ICS) and up: …

Q: Why does aptitude restrain from upgrading [UNAVAILABLE] packages?

Please help me to understand why aptitude refrains from upgrading in case below. Is it solely because existing package metadata is not in cache anymore? If package is marked as [UNAVAILABLE], does it mean the only sensible action is to keep it? system-config-printer-common will not be upgraded ...

i don't think its nazi

I read a bit of it

hbdgaf

@Mateo - slow but steady progress on the CamCastic revamp. Commit is in eventually... but it is coming. Suggestion on the folder layout - assets in a /CamCastic/assets folder, so I can reference them relative to self.__file__ and not worry about where they are without cluttering up code area. It should make packaging easier too...
