@Serg Up to you or not whether you want to take a stab at it. I'd suggest maybe going to a library or 'preview' the book. I have it but I"ve not read it (eBook, and because E:NoTime)

@Serg note you'll want an IDE probably, and you'll need Kali

Serg

Kali VM wont be a problem probably

Thomas W.

and a 'private lab'

so you can attack a target machine without breaking the law

(nobody in law enforcement cares if you run your own lab to target your own machines for learning... they care when it breaks out into the 'net)

Serg

Keeping that in mind :D

cl-netbox

Hello ! :)

Serg

welcome back mr netbox

grooveplex

Hi!

Thomas W.

good morning to you all

grooveplex

@ThomasW. I just posted an answer askubuntu.com/a/797363/530811

Serg

all hail Doge ! Much leader so ruler wow

Thomas W.

@grooveplex Ideally pip would autoresolve the Python-level dependencies, but your answer is a good one :) (upvoted)

grooveplex

12:23 PM

@ThomasW. thanks

Indeed it would be nice if pip packages had a way of expressing dependencies to be installed with other package managers

cl-netbox

@Serg Hello my friend ! :) I nearly missed your welcome (you forgot the ping) ... how are you ?

Thomas W.

@grooveplex Too bad you can run pip to create a local pythonenv, without installing to the system (read: easy_install) and as such isn't aware of things like package managers

Serg

@cl-netbox I've gotten into habit of avoiding pinging people just to say hello and such. I am alright, my sleep lately has been a mess ( It is 6:25 am and i have been awake all night ) How about you ?

Dev

@Serg My sleeping is a mess too. Same, except it's 5 AM.

Serg

Welp , at least i'm not the only one

Dev

12:27 PM

Lol

Serg

virtually shakes hands with Dev

Dev

virtually smiles

Thomas W.

@Serg i'm 2 hours ahead of you and tired myself, so blurrrrrrrrgh. (didn't fall asleep until 3AM, been up for only two hours so far)

Dev

I woke up at 6pm yesterday

cl-netbox

@Serg in my case pinging me is no problem ... I am quite okay ... had some work to do besides computing last week ... and I set up a dual boot environment fedora / ubuntu which is running perfectly fine. :)

Serg

12:29 PM

Very interesting , somebody submitted an issue on git that my script for floating apps to the top of the launcher doesn't work for them

Dev

@Serg

-[------->+<]>-.-[->+++++<]>++.+++++++..+++.[--->+<]>-----.---[->++++<]>-.++++[->+++<]>.+++++++++++++.-----------.-[--->+<]>-.

Serg

@Dev thanks no, I don't do brainfack , only python and bash

Dev

lmao

I do python too

Serg

Anybody wants to test my script and help out with this issue ? github.com/SergKolo/sergrep/issues/5

Dev

I cheated

Serg

12:31 PM

@cl-netbox i tried fedora once and didn't like it, but now i have centos in VM, just need to get back to it

cl-netbox

@Serg ckeck out fedora 24 ... it is a great distro ! :)

Dev

I have ubuntu mini installed as CLI only and I love it

grooveplex

@Serg yeah, but I think the issue is way too unclear

Which OS, which DE, etc, what are they actually seeing on the screen

What have they tried

It's all unclear

@ThomasW. Can I leave a "I'm glad that I solved your issue" comment?

Serg

@grooveplex well i'd assume they're using unity , because the script is written for Unity launcher. Also I just tested it, still works in 16.04 so I dont know what the deal is

grooveplex

What is the script supposed to do, anyway?

@Serg

I never used it so I don't know how to see if it works

Serg

12:41 PM

@grooveplex It is supposed to take the icon of your active application and place it to the top of unity launcher. So say you have firefox open and focused. It's icon will be placed bellow Unity dash . Then if you alt-tab to chrome , the chrome icon will jump to the top

grooveplex

Hm hm

Let me try it on 16.04

Oh wait

I don't use Unity

Serg

yep , it's for Unity specifically

grooveplex

Okay I'll get back to you ASAP

Serg

@grooveplex not urgent, take your time :)

grooveplex

To keep everything together, I'll post a comment on Github when done

@Serg "bellow" is related to "below" as "willy" is related to "wily" - or "car" to "carpet" or "Java" to "JavaScript".

grooveplex

lol

Serg

Oops , I did it again

Byte Commander

Sorry about that.

Byte Commander

You probably can only get Reich-rolled here...

Zacharee1

Byte Commander

I already saw Ubunta twice today.

Make a very feminine penguin as image for that.

Zacharee1

if we're following that rule

grooveplex

1:38 PM

@Serg No-repro. works for me

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 So what's the problem?

Zacharee1

idk

Byte Commander

Then fire up Gimp and do it! :D

grooveplex

I think the Ubunntu is really cute

Byte Commander

Ubuntuna tastes better.

Serg

1:49 PM

Ubunut has returned

Zacharee1

great

Serg

@grooveplex thanks for testing. i guess there's something wromg on thay guy's end

grooveplex

@Serg no problem, I'm glad I could help

Serg

2:06 PM

Zacharee1

Thomas W.

Zacharee1

Thomas W.

nobody is functional. yet everyone is functional.

Zacharee1

Q: Ubuntu 15.10 Networking Problems

I recently deployed a VM with Ubuntu 15.10 and I am having trouble configuring the network properly. Note: When the OS was installed, it picked up an IP (from DHCP I guess), because it didn't ask me to set up the network. After installation I could access the server via that IP. However, I keep t...

Q: fdisk Not Returning Space?

I'm trying to resize my partition by cutting off a little swap space. In fdisk, I remove my ext4 partition and my swap partition, but when I try to create a new partition and start it at the same spot as it used to start it, fdisk won't let me, claiming that the value is out of range.

@AndroidDev I don't think you'd be getting a kernel panic. The kernel lives entirely in memory (here)
