:D

@cl-netbox Yes all off them except the logo! :P

@Fabby :D:D:D (NO spaces)!:D - but logo counts ! :D

finally upvoted!

(Took a while, but eventually got back to that tab!)

@blade19899 Can you confirm this bug in qtox-unity? github.com/tux3/qTox/issues/2316

(@Fabby maybe as well)

6:55 PM

Reading...

user136984

Does anyone else have clamav installed?

@ParanoidPanda Installed, but never launched... :p

@ParanoidPanda me

user136984

Because I've possibly got a slight problem...

user136984

Do any of you get it when running sudo freshclam?

6:58 PM

@ParanoidPanda freshclam sometimes fails (for years now) but one of the next attempts succeeds. (automatical updates) so no manual action needed.

@ByteCommander Can you ping me in tox?

@ParanoidPanda me

@ParanoidPanda reading...

@Fabby For sure.

dings once...

@ParanoidPanda ... tested this in Windows (ClamWin) as well - same behavior.

@ParanoidPanda I don't have this

7:05 PM

@ParanoidPanda do you think I should write this as an answer -> chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/24382131#24382131 (don't need any DVs today ...) :D

user136984

@cl-netbox: You could do, but it doesn't really explain what the error means, it's just a general statement that could be used with any program and error really.

user136984

I would probably only accept it really if it had more information.

@ParanoidPanda It means you need to change DNS servers...(cc @cl-netbox)

Do you use your ISP's?

At most ISPs DNS servers have been installed more then 10 years ago, sit in a corner collecting dust, not being upgraded "becase it just works"

@ParanoidPanda .. as I am too focused on getting things solved and not so much interested what a single error means (in this case I think server connection cannot be established), especially when it's a temporarily problem ... I better do not answer. :) cc: @Fabby

OK...

7:15 PM

Google's DNS servers are easy to remember: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

@NathanOsman yup and Google knows even more about you then...

...than I do?

:P

I do a performance stat on the dns servers around me once/year...

Currently on a Swedish one.

@NathanOsman Probably! :P

>:)

@ParanoidPanda Hey, did you read any of this?

OK, ping me when you're back...

Although I care about privacy, I really don't care about the information Google can glean from DNS queries.

@Fabby Give me a ping if you have an answer =)

I will...

A: Is there a PPA offering CMake >= 3.2 for Ubuntu Precise?

0

CMake 3.2.2 is available for Precise in this PPA: ppa:george-edison55/precise-backports (Click here for instructions on using PPAs.)

@A.B. ----^ Something for you!

@A.B. you missed my PPA :)

But please don't delete your answer.

It's a really good answer even if there is a PPA providing the package.

7:36 PM

@NathanOsman there is a for Precise? I did not find it. Shame on me. o_O

@A.B. It's okay - there's no easy way to search for packages in PPAs.

I'm leaving for now - have a good time - goodbye - see you ... :)

Serg

@NathanOsman @A.B. are you guys familiar with Ubuntu minimal ? This guy claims his /etc/init/tty1.conf file is empty oO

@cl-netbox cu my friend, sleep well. o/

No @Serg

:\

@NathanOsman I've added a link in my answer :)

@Fabby: Oh yes, sorry, I just started eating and then I couldn't stop! :D

user136984

I use my ISP's DNS.

user136984

@Fabby: You seem to know a lot about this, maybe you should post an answer to my question. :)

@A.B. Great, +1.

8:23 PM

I am having such a difficult time trying to do this

I have an external HDD w/ a bunch of .deb packages in it

and am trying to set it up as a repository. I created the Packages and Source files

and am adding something like "deb /media/me/hdd/packages oldhd" to the sources.list

but whenever i type in "sudo apt-get install -t oldhd", it doesn't see the repo. :l

anyone know what's up? I've been working on this for soooo long

user136984

What is the name for this bit of Nautilus?

user136984

user136984

I mean like the proper name for it.

I don't know if the proper name, but I call it the locations panel or locations pane.

Terrance

@ParanoidPanda That's the sidebar

user136984

8:48 PM

@Terrance: Is there any way to customize it?

user136984

Like to add sections to it?

Terrance

@ParanoidPanda You can drag folders over to it, and it will create a Bookmarks area for them.

Q: Sound (Beats Audio) problem on HP m6-1035dx Linux Mint

@NathanOsman - design question. What do you think about using XMPP as a peer to peer communication channel for fisticuffs?

terdon

Any ALSA experts care to take a shot at this?

2

Yesterday I installed Linux Mint (17.2) on my HP Pavilion m6-1035dx and I'm experiencing problems with my sound. The laptop has 2 speakers and a subwoofer (Beats audio). Only the right speaker works. I checked with the sound app (Sound test). After exploring I found a relevant article on linux....

linux-mint audio

9:04 PM

Is there a way to disable "apt-get clean" so I don't ever run it again

@terdon I'm not sure if it's related, but I killed pulseaudio not so gracefully on an Intel HDA laptop from HP and the card got stuck in an inconsistent state. I don't remember what it did to fix it, but even ALSA broke related to a pulse state problem. Just putting it out there that the problem might not be alsa.

ever

terdon

@hbdgaf Hmm, thanks. I don't know much about this either.

@AmagicalFishy Why? I mean, what exactly do you want to avoid?

Well, my old computer died and I transferred everything to a new one. I don't have access to [good] internet now, so I can't download all the packages I need

but I do have my old HDD in an external case, and have set it up as a repository

but the /var/cache/apt/archives folder doesn't have all the .deb files (like I thought it did) because I've run apt-get clean on it before

actually

i'm just going to set up an alias for "apt-get clean" that echos "NO DON'T!!!"

@hbdgaf Hmm... I've never used XMPP before but it sounds like a good idea.

9:08 PM

@NathanOsman You don't have to do any socket manipulation or router hole punching and you don't need to have a server any more. That was my thinking.

Right - and that's a good thing.

@Darth_Vader - I don't know whose idea it was to put a mustache on Vader, but it's awesome.

Darth_Vader

thanks

@Takkat - If you have any tips on this question @tedron was looking for help.

@Darth_Vader Hello.

9:14 PM

If anyone on AU has an answer for you Tedron - Takkat is the one.
