12:09 AM
@Serg Thing is, if you not appear at the finals you never know what your score would have been
so my advice is go and give your best
 
my best is meh . . . I mean, I was doing OK, two exams - 93% and 85% , something like that. I got basically A and B on first two exams. But last one was just . . . 4Uc|<
kind of want to link the bender meme " your best is an idiot "
also, daym, FPGA boards are expensive
 
12:30 AM
who wants to try decompiling and building an APK for me?
can't be on Ubuntu 16.10
 
eh . . .
 
I'm trying it now on Windows, but don't have much hope
 
Try it on Mac then. You've almost exhausted the list of OSes
 
Windows did something weird o_O
 
FUDGE. I rented a book instead of buying the kindle version, fudge fudge fudge
 
12:41 AM
heh
return it?
 
return kindle book ? hau ?
 
cancel the purchase
 
Actually I found how to convert it to full purchase. Yay
 
12:58 AM
cheapest that I found for physics textbook is $159 . . . all I can say is . . . "fCK you, college book business, I hate you"

we need to save this GIF
 
Aaaand it's on the starboard. You're welcome @Zacharee1
 
yay
 
It has been forever immortalized on the starwall.
 
unless a mod unstars it
 
1:02 AM
 
So I'm really loving the second screen on my phone
 
How do you like it guys ? ^
 
I wish it wasn't IPS, because it's weird having the light bleed, but meh, I get why it is
@Serg o_O
well I got the exact same error on Windows as Ubuntu...
 
@Zacharee1 second screen?
 
@NathanOsman the V20 has a secondary screen at the top
it's got a mini toggle area page, contacts section, reminder page, app dock page, recents page, media control page
and some other stuff I'm forgetting
it's also an always-on-display
oh and the time/date (but that's in AOD mode)
signature page too when it's on
 
1:06 AM
Ah, next to the camera.
 
AOD mode has time/date/battery indicator/notification icons page, media control, toggles
 
You're the only one that can use LTE on my carrier's new network.
 
@NathanOsman yeah. It replaces the notification LED, but I find that my Note 4 is getting more and more annoying because of that feature :p
@NathanOsman they use B66?
 
The LG V20 is the only currently supported phone.
 
and only B66?
 
1:07 AM
@Zacharee1 Yes, indeed.
 
well that's stupid
 
@Zacharee1 Also yes indeed.
 
"we're kicking off our LTE with a frequency none of you can use!"
 
@Zacharee1 It's not really their fault.
 
oh right, that's the only thing recently being auctioned, huh?
 
1:07 AM
Spectrum auctions and whatnot.
Yeah.
 
but still...
they could've started earlier maybe
get a band 4 or 12 in there
 
They are a very new company.
 
how new?
 
They are celebrating 6 years in business.
 
pretty new...
 
1:08 AM
Yeah.
So there's that.
 
I was surprised that TMO USA is actually 14/15 years old
@NathanOsman 6 years ago is when LTE really began, isn't it?
hey, at least when carriers (stupidly) make the move to 5G service, Wind will get all the LTE it wants :p
 
It's not Wind anymore.
 
o_O
 
They just changed their name.
 
to what
 
1:10 AM
They are now "Freedom Mobile".
 
so basically T-Mobile Canada? :D
 
Who knows...
 
btw, do you have any idea how those band auctions work?
 
Welcome to the wild world of Canadian cell carriers.
 
because if they're auctions, how do all carriers get access to the same bands?
 
1:11 AM
I have no idea...
 
Like, ATT, VZW and TMO all use LTE 2 and 4
And then there's Sprint, with 25, 26 and 41...
 
Some sort of partnership? I don't know.
 
@NathanOsman lololololol
TMO is literally attacking VZW because it's the only major carrier left not providing unlimited data
Even ATT has unlimited plans now
 
I've had them since day one.
 
unlimited?
 
1:13 AM
Heh. 'round goes the circle.
 
Yes. *
 
@Seth wot
@NathanOsman ooh, asterisk
 
* - unlimited but throttled
 
aha
 
They slow it down after 5 GB.
 
1:13 AM
ugh . . . found something very odd while searching for college physics pdfs : saylor.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/…
 
@Zacharee1 literally all the carriers had unlimited for years, and then they all dumped unlimited because they "couldn't handle the bandwidth". I see we're back to square 1 again.
 
Basically a mish-mash text, with images form biology texts and stuff
 
@NathanOsman so it's like TMO: you have unlimited data, but it's 2G speeds (so dialup). You pay for an allotment of LTE data, which can include "unlimited"
@Seth oh, yeah. But now we have LTE, which has quite a high bandwidth
 
@Zacharee1 doesn't that violate net neutrality? Not that I mind much.
 
1:15 AM
@Seth I don't think so. It's giving the same access to all web services. You just don't get the same access to the web :D
@NathanOsman o_O
 
Not that net neutrality will survive much longer with Trump anyway..
 
@Seth T-Mobile is in trouble with net neutrality and all that though, but because of Binge On and Music Freedom
and how the detection system has to have services manually added
but since it isn't exactly hard to opt in if your service isn't detected, I don't really see the issue
 
yeah, me either.
 
T-Mobile is trying to be nice to its customers, not kill net neutrality
it's also interesting, because all streamed video is optimized by default, so it uses less of your data
even if you don't have Binge On (comes with 6GB or more data)
I really like Music Freedom though. It's included on the 2GB plan (which I have). I've streamed about 730MB with Spotify, and none of it is counting against my allotment
 
yeah that's pretty nice, but you're still spending $50 a month..
 
1:22 AM
and then $30 for the second line, and then $10 for the rest
 
Which doesn't turn out quite so bad, but that's still a lot of money.
 
@Seth competition is a hell of a thing ;)
 
@Seth and Verizon isn't cheaper btw. 2GB is $35/mo, but then there's also the $20 line access monthly fee
 
I dunno. I hardly use my phone for anything.
@JourneymanGeek yup
 
@JourneymanGeek capitalism FTW?
 
1:23 AM
I just wish there was actual competition in the ISP area. Literally only 1 serves my address. Comcast..
 
@Seth maybe you should get TMO and start :p
 
@Zacharee1 capitalism as designed FTW
 
@Seth ewwwww
 
@Zacharee1 I pay $7 a month thank you.
@JourneymanGeek That's the point of capitalism.. no design.
 
don't you have like no data a month though?
 
1:24 AM
I have 3 phone company options with a 4th one coming up
@Seth most people misunderstand it tho
 
yeah
 
Much like practical authoritarian 'communism' and 'theoretical' impractical communism
 
@JourneymanGeek landline?
 
@Zacharee1 cell phone
there's er...
 
oh good
 
1:26 AM
at least 3 landline options if you're cool with VOIP
 
no one uses landlines anymore :p
nice
VOIP is higher quality
 
one fixed line option, but when I move out, I'm not going to bother.
 
1:37 AM
Hehe, looks like somebody in here likes Russian cartoons, as I see from avatars
 
that's a Russian cartoon?
looks like WB
 
@Zacharee1 yep. About a wolf and a rabbit. Kind of soviet version of Tom and Jerry
 
sounds strange
 
If you want I can find it for you on youtube. Kinda funny
I used to like it
 
Meh
I don't like Tom and Jerry much
 
1:47 AM
I have no logical explanation as to why this is on one of the doors in my college library Oo
 
Lol
 
@Zacharee1 Not even as a kid?
 
It's just so cringey
 
damn zach so mature waow
 
Lol
 
2:00 AM
i like how #dumpkelloggs is trending
 
Everyone be like:
 
so offensive
i need my safe spaces
 
A company decided not to show advertising on your website. Deal with it.
 
evidently many couldn't
 
Well, if a company wants to pull ads fine. It's their right. If people want to boycott, fine. That's their right too.
 
2:30 AM
Hello.
@NathanOsman lolz
 
@Edity Hello.
 
Hai
I find vodafone REALLY RELAXING. (not)
their data service was down for like 12 hours yesterday
 
2:57 AM

i regret everything
 
3:14 AM

T.T
 
XD
 
@Serg make sure you rate your professors on ratemyprofessor.com so the next person knows
 
 
1 hour later…
4:37 AM
@Seth I'm don't do that. But man, i sure want to
also, yay, my new modem and router arrived along with the fire tablet
right away i can say fire camera is crap, but meh i shouldn't expect anything amazing from 33$ tablet

I am trying to install hashcat on ubuntu i typed apt-get install hashcat on terminal it is returned no result so i went to packages.ubuntu.com and searched hashcat it is returned zesty as result
Also tryed on synaptics there is no hope what is happening here any help
where am i going wrong?
 
7:21 AM
@arunwebber it's in 16.10... what version are you running?
 
@Zanna 16+
 
16.04 or 16.10?
 
am not sure how to check
 
Open a terminal and run:
lsb_release -a
That will tell you what release you have.
 
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
16.04
 
7:24 AM
Ah, so you have Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04).
 
so if i upgrading to 16.10+ i can install hashcat?
 
Unfortunately hashcat isn't available in the archives until the next release (16.10).
@arunwebber Yes.
 
Ok
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[sudo] password for arun:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found
@NathanOsman
What is going wrong over here?
 
You need to open /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change "lts" to "normal"
Xenial will only upgrade to another LTS by default.
 
working
Hopes it is not going to crash my system
:)
 
7:31 AM
:)
 
@arunwebber don't use the -d flag
 
^--- that too
 
Oh shoot i used
What can be done now?
ctr+z i have stopped the processes
@Zanna
 
:\ you might want to let it continue :S
you could have more troubles if you stop it mid-way
 
Any way i stopped now
what could happen if i use -d flag
?
@Zanna
shall i continue now?
@NathanOsman
 
7:46 AM
it could upgrade to zesty instead of yakkety
what is it telling you?
 
@Zanna [1]+ Stopped sudo do-release-upgrade -d
 
what was it outputting while it was running?
 
How do we qualify this profile, and the quite nonsense question he or she asked? Seems spamish to me

@Zanna shall i continue the process from where i have stopped?
 
yeah it's fine
@arunwebber unfreeze it :)
 
7:50 AM
ok with -d flag
 
at the moment it is upgrading to yakkety
 
@JacobVlijm wouldn't be surprised if there's a link the system chomped cause of lack of Rep. Smells like spammer
 
as far as I can tell...
 
@JourneymanGeek exactly.
 
@Zanna i have pressed ctr + z to freeze how to unfreze just run the command again?
 
7:52 AM
anyway I think probably better to let it run when started, your system could be messed up if you halt the upgrade in the middle
 
I'd nuke then wait for the screaming.
 
@Zanna what could be the possible next move which is logically true?
Now it is freezed
 
@arunwebber haha logically true? idk, I'm not a logician
 
ha ha what can i do next?
 
@arunwebber um you can type bg and it will continue
 
7:54 AM
Oh it is continuing thankz
Once i messed with the system completly i will ping
:)
 
@arunwebber haha yes, please ping if needed... fingers crossed for you it will be OK!
 
Thank you :)
 
Can someone explain to me why I have 182 posts awaiting review here? The sum of all review queues is <100.
 
@DavidFoerster try viewing in incognito mode?
 
8:02 AM
@Zanna: You mean things would be different if I deleted the cookies?
 
@DavidFoerster I think so... the total is including stuff you have reviewed already but which still needs reviews from others afaik
 
Ah…
 
hmm does that explain it?
 
I think so.
 
We better all hit the queues so you don't have such a huge mismatch haha :)
 
8:16 AM
;-D
 
Hi all
 
Hi :)
Hmmm everything in CV queue is already on 4 when I get to it :D
 
9:10 AM
@Zanna Processing was halted because there were too many errors.


[1]+ Stopped sudo do-release-upgrade -d
I am getting this now
 
>_<
ok
try running it again without -d
 
9:25 AM
@Zanna sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and it is set to normal also
@Zanna sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

damn
did you try running sudo apt install -f ?

@Zanna yes
@Zanna what could do?
and this also

idk if there is any point using -f with commands other than install
 
Wow that looks pretty messed up
Good morning everyone
 
Yeah idk @arunwebber you can try the standard stuff askubuntu.com/questions/346678/…
 
biest to download yakkety iso and make an USB of it, then try a repair intall
 
@Videonauth :)
@Videonauth nice to meet you again
here
 
10:24 AM
:)
So, a messed up upgrade? Well as i said one possible solution, with no garantuee that it'll work is to download YAkkety ISO, out it on a stick and try a repair installation. But backup your data beforehand please because if this wont work out it might be a full new install needed
 
@Videonauth Thankz
I am also thinking in that way
 
Fact is if you want to correct all issues by hand by running apt install or even worse download dep packages from the main repository and install them with dpkg its more hassle free this way
and make a note to self, to never never pause or freeze a distribution upgrade
some programms it my have wanted to delete might have existed still in nodes to make them run, and freezing the prozess may have freed those nodes
 
@Videonauth :) Now i am trying some commands similar to @Zanna has showed on other post if its not working well i will go for a fresh installation from a cd
or iso
 
Why would you want to do a dist upgrade? why not just re-install the OS again? I thought distribution upgrades always failed?
 
@the_velour_fog not necessarily, but yes i tend to do fresh installations instead of upgrades myself for exact that reason, even thou upgrading my laptop back in the days from 15.10 to 16.04 was flawless
 
10:35 AM
@the_velour_fog data? and other softs?
dependencies?
and stuffs like that
 
sure , you would have programs and data that you dont want to lose by reinstalling everything. But aren
 
arent you running more of a risk by trying to replace the packages around your software and data you want to protect?
as you will potentially wipe out your personal stuff when the dist upgrade failes
 
Not happend
:(
 
Im sure you would have made - off site - backups before attempting a risky procedure, right? but then if you have the backups why not re-install?'
 
10:39 AM
Reinstalling there is no fun
:)
 
I think thats where apt's and dpkg's strength lies, is in the ability to rapidly and efficiently install packages.

10:55 AM
If i want to trouble shoot thease errors and do manually what i have to do?
Otherway around where i can start?
I am getting this also from package manager
Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f
@Videonauth How will i check third party?
 
Well you begin to install every package it has mentioned by hand, so where apt install -f fails and packages are missing you go to the repository pages of ubuntu here and download them by hand and install them via dpkg -i <packagename>
This involves as well downloading their dependencies by hand and do those beforehand
pretty tedious prozess if you ask me
third party will be more or less hassle free mostly
just for the sake of repairing move the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d out of the directory temporarily to prevent confusion
like i said a repair install or even better a clean install is the more suitable and hassle free way
Then you have a fresh clean start and the possibilities given to mess your system up once more :D
But to be honest if you need your machine for work, production, you're better off with the repair install/fresh install time wise. Repairing by hand may take hours if not days, a fresh install including installing your software again a few hours if you're working efficiently
You can use dpkg --get-selections >> program-list.asc to make yourself a list of whats currently installed on your system (sadly includes the system files as well but a good list to work down from on a fresh install never the less).
 
11:24 AM
I have spent today refactoring a - too complicated - shell function which wraps apt-get install. I it use to install about 50 packages whenever I do a new OS install. so once I get a clean install I download and run the shell script and the function installs the packages
like Videonauth says, I have more success just re-install than trying to understand and troubleshoot apt

Hi Greetings, I have a question here askubuntu.com/q/855738/283472 gnome-settings-daemon : Depends: gnome-settings-daemon-schemas (= 3.22.0-1ubuntu1) but 3.22.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
Would highly appreciate if someone help me to figure out it
 
What's your Ubuntu version? Could you add the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your question? @MYaseen208
what the error is saying is that the package gnome-settings-daemon requires the package gnome-settings-daemon-schemas in an older version than what is available (it requires 3.22.0-1ubuntu1 and the available one is 3.22.1-0ubuntu1)
 
Ubuntu 16.10, Actually I remove Python2.7 wrongly
After this, I am some issues with GNOME
 
did you reinstall Python?
 
I upgraded Python2.7 to Python3
and Now reinstalld Python2.7 too
 
Please don't do this @MYaseen208. Don't post a stub of a question with no detail on the main site and then give the necessary detail here. That way your question is useless to anyone else. Please go and edit your question and add the information there.
 
1:00 PM
Hello everyone, the following question is important for my job and not for the private used. I hope someone can help me.
I try to compile Qt on Ubuntu in my VirtualBox for crosscompiling for raspberry.
http://askubuntu.com/q/855697/625763

All tries to keep it working didn't take effect. It's a brandnew installation of Ubuntu and I followoed the tutorial stepbystep.. -.- Thanks!
 
1:15 PM
@Serg the video did not continue to play
 
@terdon is this the new way for questions to be handled ? author posts a question and recieves his answer in a fairly short amount of time via comments and then removes his question? --> askubuntu.com/questions/855749/…
 
@Videonauth sometimes it happens...
 
1:33 PM
Well i was just going to write a comment that the comment answer should be made into a real one and it disapeared
happened lately a few times
 
Hello and good afternoon ! :)
 
@Videonauth I guess we didn't really need that question...
but sometimes I am all awwww when that happens
hi @cl-netbox :)
 
@Zanna Hey Zanna - good afternoon - nice to see you - how are you doing ? :)
 
Grappling with admin tasks as it's the first day of the month... everything is confusing me
and my printer is being grumpy
 
@Zanna what especially is confusing you ?
 
1:43 PM
printer? good luck
 
@Zanna all printers are a pain in the a... ! :D
@edwinksl yes - that she needs ... Hello edwinksl :)
 
@cl-netbox the new online timesheet system for one of my agencies... let's just say i had some unsatisfactory conversations with the site dev and I'm not optimistic about the interface becoming more useable any time soon...
 
@DavidFoerster old issue: that number is the count of posts available for reviews for anyone, not just you.
 
@edwinksl lol this one normally behaves quite reasonably, but today it's flashing all the lights
 
@Zanna hmmm ... understand ... sometimes conversations make no sense ...
@Zanna as I said : all printers are ... ! :D
 
1:48 PM
@cl-netbox it's probably my bad, need to feed it some of the world's most expensive liquid...
 
@Zanna well, I don't think so, most printers are designed to die after an estimated time ... honestly : I hate them all ! :)
 
@cl-netbox haha maybe his time has come
hmmm my work printed... at a funny angle and in a funny colour but it'll do for the present purpose!
 
@Zanna I trashed my last (expensive) canon printer when it died after a short period of (troublesome) usage and never bought any new printer again ! :)
 
o0
My canon printer's at at least 7 years old I think
and I fill it with third party ink
 
@JourneymanGeek then you are VERY lucky ! :) Hi ! :)
 
1:55 PM
@cl-netbox the previous one also lasted a very long time
 
@JourneymanGeek hahaha ... then you were more than very lucky ! :) My multi-functional CANON MP was just the thing I needed and wanted, but ... as I said ... it died after a short period of time once it wasn't covered by warranty anymore. :)
