4:03 AM
@KazWolfe Lemme know when you remember.
 
Oh. @NathanOsman, I remember :D
The OP3 doesn't support Sprint or Verizon?
 
Lemme check.
 
Well, it doesn't have CDMA bands on it.
Is there some sort of firmware update to allow the radio to connect to the disallowed bands?
 
gah. no project fi then.
 
4:12 AM
If you're curious, I'm using this site: willmyphonework.net
 
@KazWolfe Fi doesn't support BYOD anyway.
 
yeah verizon is half-support, but i can't get the "fast" 4G. Sprint just doesn't work according to my research.
This is annoying.
 
Exactly, Fi is for Nexus devices.
 
@Seth Well, I'm sure it would, if non-nexus phones had all the major bands.
 
@KazWolfe maybe. Fi doesn't use Verizon anyway tho.
 
4:13 AM
@Seth They use Sprint.
 
Just Sprint, T-mobile and US Cellular.
 
And because Sprint/Verizon/US Cellular use CDMA because they're dumb...
 
*cough* money *cough*
 
The reason I was curious about verizon on "true" LTE was for dual-sim failover
 
it's a bit more complicated than "they're dumb", but sure.
 
4:14 AM
@NathanOsman Yeah. They have enough of it to avoid switching.
@Seth Eh, it's a pretty good summary. They don't want to because they don't have to because they're big enough to have custom devices made for them.
 
I keep forgetting it's a dual-SIM phone. I only ever have one SIM in there.
 
I'm not even sure how Verizon would effect such a switch without killing their network.
 
Slow clap...
 
@Seth I mean, that wouldn't be bad? But they can rollout GSM/CDMA at the same time and just migrate over.
 
@TheXed looks painful
 
4:15 AM
I don't think there's a spec difference in the hardware, it's just a standard.
 
And since LTE is basically GSM anyway it makes more sense to slowly just upgrade to that than try to upgrade already legacy technology to legacy GSM.
 
@Seth Yeah, well, sprint/vzw is still on the CDMA channels.
 
What speed do you guys get on LTE?
 
And unless I can craft a custom baseband for the OP3, i'm kinda stuck.
 
@KazWolfe channels are meaningless.
 
4:16 AM
In other words, what am I missing?
 
Only protocol matters.
@NathanOsman You don't have LTE?
 
Nope - just 3G.
 
@Seth The bands are very meaningful. It's what's keeping Sprint and VZW off the OnePlus...
 
As high as 15 Mbps in good areas.
But I've never seen higher than that.
 
@KazWolfe In that sense, sure. It's not like Verizon can just go and use someone else's band space though.
 
4:17 AM
No, they can.
ATT, VZW, and T-Mo all share band 2 and 4
 
> HSPA is an amalgamation of several upgrades to the original W-CDMA standard and offers speeds of 14.4 Mbit/s down and 5.76 Mbit/s up.
 
@NathanOsman meh. I only just got an LTE capable device and I'm on AT&T, which has the slowest LTE speeds.
 
Hmm... so that seems like I'm getting the maximum.
 
I don't use data much so I never had any problems.
 
4:18 AM
@KazWolfe so?
 
band list --^
@Seth So they can all use the same unified bands but they don't because CDMA
 
something like that.
 
They probably just can add a new band to their network, but they don't want to add it to all of their towers.
and then, they get to sell exclusive devices with that band.
 
haha.
The FCC controls that space with a tight fist.
 
so Nathan is right. It is just money.
 
4:20 AM
Running SpeedTest...
 
You want more space? You pay $$$.
@NathanOsman I'm not going to run a speed test 'cause data is expensive.. and I don't have much of it.
 
I get that :)
 
I'm sure the FCC will say "hey, you want to set up an open platform so consumers get a choice in what hardware they buy and where?, k you can share band 12 with everyone else!"
i'm sure there's a way to mod the radio in my phone to allow all bands. so i guess i can try that.
it seems to be possible...
 
@KazWolfe locked hardware is not allowed here. Also full number portability <3
 
@JourneymanGeek yeah well. America has... uh...
gimme a second. i'll think of somthing...
A government that spies on its citizens and then lies about it!
Does Singapore have that? HUH?!
America - 1 | Singapore - 0
 
4:24 AM
It's usually better.
But being inside and all...
 
So I can probably enable Fi compatibility pretty easily on this phone...
brb definitely buying extended warranty
@NathanOsman That XDA link definitely works with the OPO
So I think it might with the OP3.
 
@KazWolfe the thing is i can't really tell how much domestic surveillance there in singapore. it is almost as if nobody cares
 
i wonder if i can get an AT port on my tablet...
that would be cool.
 
@KazWolfe doesn't make fi compatible with you, sadly.
 
@Seth borrow fi phone, activate sim, swap to modded OP3.
 
4:32 AM
@KazWolfe that might work
if you know someone with a nexus
 
i know a few people
 
Sorry, I sold mine.
Got the Nexus 5 back though... and, well... it's not exactly in working condition ATM.
 
@NathanOsman He'd have to ship you the SIM anyway, wouldn't he?
 
No idea.
I've never done anything with Fi.
 
Hm.
 
4:37 AM
YYayyyyy windows
you can crash windows by attempting to install a driver to get an AT serial port to your LTE chip.
No, I know local people. In fact, my summer intern place had literally hundreds of Nexus phones around lol
Yay I might get to boot to Linux to get an AT console!
 
You can crash Windows by sneezing.
 
But I wanna unlock baaaaanddddssssss
 
4:55 AM
user image

^--- proof
 
@KazWolfe we have a version of TIA
 
Brb getting Windows disk. I need this AT thing
And Linux disk. And every other disk
 
@NathanOsman solid proof
 
5:14 AM
(I uploaded a picture I took the other night.)
 
Not ported to Linux or Windows yet.
 
What commands did you run? — edwinksl 25 secs ago
indeed ^
 
i am still learning how to read minds
give me a week or two
once i get there though, all the rep are belong to me
 
I'm still enjoying the memory of the "I can't get out of bash!" question. Here the answer is probably sudo bang bang
@edwinksl lol
oh but we don't want them to use sudo pip do we...
 
nope, but why would pip without sudo fail
i am trying to understand
or rather, i think i know what is happening but i am trying to figure out who to blame
 
5:40 AM
hahahaha
 
actually, no repro when i installed scraperwiki in my virtualenv
 
so what did they do?
 
yeah ok i can repro it now
 
cool, I am waiting for your answer :)
 
unfortunately in this case, sudo pip is the easiest solution
 
5:56 AM
Hi all :D
My xmonad looks really horrible. Does anyone know how to change the terminal color ?
 
Hi @SeverusTux :) no idea, I'm afraid!
 
:(
any idea where can I get help ? u&L chatroom ?
 
@SeverusTux ask a question on the main site ? ;p
(aibobot = journeyman geek. This is a mod-powerless acccount I'm using cause I'm on non secure wifi on my office PC ._.)
 
@Aibobot you actually can speak???
 
lol
 
6:01 AM
@Aibobot I will do that., this looks really bad
 
oh it's tiling...
 
Yup :)
Removed GNOME and gdm
 
@edwinksl woof?
 
@Aibobot meow
 
Most of my normal stuff is tied into google. I dont\'t trust this system enough to sign in with my google password ;p
 
6:07 AM
wow this is actually cool.. everything just works without a DE! vlc, firefox, libreoffice... everything :D
 
lol
 
@SeverusTux I installed blackbox on my Arch first, and it looked like that when I launched X, but then I removed blackbox, and I could still start X, and it looked the same... I think it just wasn't working

I sometimes install boxen with twm
 
isn't i3wm the best wm ever
 
6:08 AM
all it does is fire up a terminal window
 
at least that's my arch friend keeps telling me to use
 
and you start things from there
You mispelled archfiend
 
:p
i took extra care to make sure i didn't misspell friend as fiend
 
hahaha
very nice! askubuntu.com/a/829709/527764 @edwinksl
 
i am not sure what raw means though
to me, it means groff
 
6:20 AM
much better than heemayl's answer, I thought of that, but the output is barely readable
yeah I think so
 
but i think OP really wants to read it with a different pager
 
your answer is what I understood, & helps me
 
@Zanna who reads man pages without less though :p
definitely not me when i have to read man bash...
 
I don't read man bash I just read it online
I'm making trouble in the CV queue today
Leave Open
Leave Open
Leave Open
 
meanwhile i am just skipping
so i think we have to reopen this and then dupe it? askubuntu.com/questions/829587/cant-reinstall-ubuntu-16-04
 
6:36 AM
lol in CV queue there is plenty to choose from so I skip to find something that is
-easy if I'm lazy
-hard (might have been skipped by others) if I'm not lazy
 
I hate literally everything about this photo. Burn it all down just became 752% more appealing. https://t.co/lwDWEIrpew
 
@NathanOsman watttttttttttt
 
Also, on a slightly more humorous note:
Oh boy. Have at it internet world. https://vine.co/v/5vdPOMnqbDm
 
haha @Rinzwind I already pinged that to him!
 
6:43 AM
good :D
 
looking forward to a shiny new Sergindicator
 
so
why is he not on it? >:-D
I waited at least 5 minutes

Q: connection through ssh

Waqas Ranai have to pull code from server to local machine . local machine is window so i am using putty for that . now problem is that my admin forward an email that is like this .so please what should i do to copy code . i am new to linux . After you log into bastion you’ll need to sudo bash to get roo...

 
haha hopefully he's getting some zzzzs
 
doesn't look like there is such an indicator that is recently updated
i did find a pretty old one
 
6:59 AM
Hello
 
olleH
 
?!?
YOU FOUND OUT MY SIM COMPANY???
BBl
 
@edwinksl VTR
 
@Rinzwind which question?
 
@edwinksl the 2nd answer
user answered it himself
There is not an indicator that is up to code for a newer Ubuntu. So Zanna and me, in chat, asked a certain person to make when. When he wakes up he'll be thrilled to do so (:-)) — Rinzwind 30 secs ago
 
7:03 AM
hehe :)
 
@Zanna oh more python problems. i will let you deal with it :p
 
but @edwinksl you actually know about python unlike me! I keep trying to learn but getting sidetracked
is that even on topic anyway?
 
yeah it is a PATH problem
 
oooh :)
 
at least i think so
let me try to repro
 
7:15 AM
can I make an image in an answer clickable?
 
why not?
usual way not working?
 
eh
never done it >:)
 
[![blah][1]][1]

hmm weird
I did that :P
AH GOT IT
I did
[[![blah][1]][1][2] it seems but i should have changed the 2nd [1]
 
all those brackets make my eyes go funny
 
7:26 AM
@Terrance next time make it an answer :(
hehehehe

already gone @SmokeDetector :P
 
@Zanna ah ok i think OP didn't restart his python interpreter after installing scraperwiki. now his sys.path makes sense and his latest edit to the question causes it to become a programming one
 
7:42 AM
ok I'll go vote :)
 
yeah python determines sys.path automagically
 
clever ^_^
 
and it would include ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages automatically if user had used pip install --user
so i was surprised he couldn't import
my guess is he forgot to restart python so that sys.path can be updated
if his sys.path were still funky, then i might have asked him to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable, so the question would arguably have been on-topic
 
yes
 
and he/she also crossposted :S stackoverflow.com/questions/39695272/…
and also attempted to use regex to parse html stackoverflow.com/questions/39658734/…
 
7:55 AM
hmph
 
and got owned by martijn :p
 
@edwinksl I bet he does not even upvoted or accept the answer :=)
 
probably not yeah
 
lol
 
his track record in SO doesn't look good :/

Q: how to get executable of dumpcap?

Dipesh PatelI was trying to remove wireshark from my system. Unfortunately at that time, I removed bumpcap file from /usr/bin folder using rm command. Now I am reinstalling an application wireshark. It's asking for dumpcap executable file. Thank you in advanced.

:P
--- why --- rm dumpcap?
 
facepalm
i'm watching SBS and it's now brodcasting a kids program
please end. I want to watch running man
 
@JourneymanGeek congrats on 2k!
now give me 50k of your rep on SU, thanks
 
@Zanna you answered my question "Is globbing a feature of the shell?"but i can not recognize why find / -name c* if i search current directory it gives error but for other location it s ok
 
8:12 AM
Lol
Thanks and no
 
sharing is caring
 
I want my su 100k and mse 10k.
:p
 
3k au please
then you can help us close things
 
trade reputation XD
 
xD
 
8:14 AM
"umm, 1k rep for 2k rep, please" -unknown
 
@Sinoosh something matches the glob in the current directory, but not in the other one. (but please ask in the main room)
 
If I had a Linux/Ubuntu job I would totally do oqod like I did on su :p
One question answered a day
 
thank you

@edwinksl lol most fun mistake ever
for anyone who hasn't seen the famous related ^ Q... stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/…
 
woah. zalgo text.
 
I just came across this close review: askubuntu.com/review/close/621882. I think it would be more appropriate to merge the two questions considering that both have many valid but very different answers. What do you think?
 
the link of my question askubuntu.com/questions/829747/…
 
@DavidFoerster yes
O_O
O_O x2
a wild fennekin appeared!
 
8:57 AM
@DavidFoerster I think either way it is alright, but it may be a good candidate to merge, since the second question itself does not add anything
just my opinion though

Q: Merge Ask Ubuntu into Unix & Libux

Well wisherI think Ask Ubuntu does exist only for the shake of canonical (the company behind ubuntu). It is definately under the scope of (and hence the duplicate of) Unix & Linux. Unix & Linux misses many useful question because users of Ubuntu prefer to post on AU instead if U&L. Especially command-line, ...

 
@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L “for the shake of canonical” :-D
The spelling mistakes are funny.
 
hahaha
 
9:23 AM
Libux?
 
sounds cute, heh?
 
Windows looks like the "Window of Heaven" but actually it is the "Door of Hell" !

Q: Find and delete directories (including non-empty ones) and files matching name in single line of command

Vicky DevI have Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr 32bit OS installed in my Desktop system. Now I want to do exactly as I said in the question. How can I achieve that from command line ? I tried as below but it only removes directories not the files. find . \( -iname "Company" -o -iname "Module" \) -print0 | xa...

 
2 of my a's are fighting for dominance today <3
@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L YES I POSTED ON U+L meta <3
 
10:00 AM
@Rinzwind that's a nice thing to happen :)
 
it is a tie: 4-4 :D
 
10:25 AM
4 messages moved from Ubuntu Regulators
 
from? >:)
where are they
@Zanna oooh you got me a new contender :)
 
<3
thanks for the answer ^_^
 
shopt -s dotglob works too
unset the var to go back to original method
 
That will be easier for me to remember I think
 
probably :D
the GLOBIGNORE=".:.." is a bit more flexible
(you can add anything to it)
 
10:31 AM
yes indeed! I had better remember that too!
 
repeat it 10 times! >:)
 
I will just try to use it a lot :)
 
next question by Zanna: why does this file not get removed?
 
haha what?
heemayl added a nice fancy answer!
 
yeah I took the short route :X
 
10:52 AM
I think I have to leave that Q there for a while before deciding what to accept :S
 
It's going straight to HNQ.
 
really?
I was cooking and didn't see any of that!
 
phew
 
lol!!
How do things get into HNQs?
 
ah! thank you, very informative! There is a lot of rep there, relatively speaking
 
yeah, it's already there on HNQ now.
 
Hello
 
@jokerdino I saw
 
I am slow, I know. :(
 
11:21 AM
how's that? you were the fastest... I was just saying I had caught up...
you detected it before it even happened!
 
lol, nice try. You saw it before I did.
 
your glob q is leading the pact now 5-4-4 :D
(on my upvotes)
 
downvotes.
 
read only for all...
 
@Rinzwind You're welcome ;)
 
11:38 AM
I knew chmodding /etc to test someone else's mistake would pay off one day...
how are you doing @Arronical ? :)
 
@Zanna Good thanks, though my Guinea Pigs no longer like me. It was bath and haircut time this weekend.
@Zanna How's you?
 
Your guinea pig is not like me... bath + haircut is my idea of a nice afternoon
Everything good here thanks! :)
 
@Zanna There are 3 of them, it was quite the afternoon! I must admit I'm not keen on a haircut either, human beings in my personal space... eek! Even when they're benign humans it's not my favourite.
 
And sharp scissors clipping around your ears...
I couldn't say I'm a friend of that either.
 
@Arronical hmm strangely enough I think that's what I like most about it... to trust someone and... the... polite intimacy. Impersonal, but gentle
 
lol which one should I pick?
 
Pick the one I answered.
 
:D
13 seconds... wow.
