@SumeetDeshmukh I believe we are advised to use markdown rather than html tags where possible just edited here

besides, isn't it so much easier to highlight and fix it with a key press/button?

not on mobile I know :/

@SumeetDeshmukh seems to have all possible info!

nice to see you by the way... I was wondering where you had gone :)

if you look at the side-by-side view you can see it looks better now, imho anyway...

Sumeet Deshmukh

6:28 AM

@Zanna well I was on a tour, I came back to find that my internet doesn't work anymore. and my dog is missing, i can't figure out which one is the bigger problem? :/

@Zanna should I use markdowns in my question too, or should I just post huge outputs to paste.ubuntu

Zanna

@SumeetDeshmukh I was talking about formatting - use markdown (indenting) not <pre> tags

@SumeetDeshmukh only you can say which is the bigger problem I think! But I hope they both get fixed...

@SumeetDeshmukh I would say only paste stuff externally if it doesn't fit in the question because of character limit. paste.ubuntu.com only keeps the stuff for a limited time afaik

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna i'll edit the question || my imaginary dog is definitely a bigger problem || no paste.ubuntu.com then. || it feels good to be back :)

Zanna

:)

so how can it do it please tell me. — Lokesh Sharma 2 mins ago

6:44 AM

@Zanna i found instructions specific for ubuntu github.com/codebutler/firesheep#ubuntu-linux

not sure why people don't just go to the github repo itself and read installation instructions there

almost always better than some random second-hand site

Zanna

@edwinksl indeed

edwinksl

probably no repro

Zanna

looks like it went away

unclear what they were doing

I agree no-repro

Hi

Zanna

afternoon :)

Anwar

Currently having this issue with vim youcompleteme. None of the suggestions worked. Using vim8 from jonathon's ppa. installed vim-nox too! Any pointers?

Zanna

:/

Anwar

@Zanna morning! Hope it's all fine.

Zanna

all fine here... sorry I'm clueless about your vim problem

maybe you could ask on the Vim/Vi SE?

I was wondering if we can improve this question instead of closing it...

Anwar

The question is already of high quality imo :)

Zanna

I agree, but I mean, it's getting closed as too broad, so could we try to emphasise the requirements that aren't covered by other answers and link to related questions

Anwar

It's a big question with specific requirements. I don't know if anyone would want to answer with much details

edwinksl

can anyone verify what OP said in askubuntu.com/questions/924257/… is true? i am able to run python3 -m venv --help without installing python3-venv.

Zanna

me too

edwinksl

7:53 AM

ok so OP is lying

Zanna

but on 17.04 so maybe not conclusive

Anwar

I can. on 16.04

Zanna

what are they talking about then haha

edwinksl

@Anwar when you said you can run venv, do you mean you can run python3 -m venv?

Zanna

9:32 AM

migration candidate?

not specific to distro imho... but explicitly mentions Arch (they aren't going to use Ubuntu at all!)

Zanna

9:58 AM

wth

time to go for a walk o.O

user136984

12:58 PM

@Zanna If it's not actually distro-specific, aren't we meant to just edit out the off-topicness and answer it? I've heard that go round a few times on Meta. :)

Zanna

idk... I am OK with it either way

user136984

If it's really not distro-specific then we can do that. Although, if it is good enough, we can then of course migrate it.

Yes, very much so. I feel a lot healthier after so much fresh air! :)

Look at this!!! :D

user136984

user136984

It's a wombat.

Zanna

@SumeetDeshmukh I see no wireless card at all...

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna it's an USB adopter

user136984

@cl-netbox: Don't you think they're amazingly cute? :D

Sumeet Deshmukh

1:36 PM

yes they are, they look innocent (I couldn't come up with a better word)

@Zanna it's the first entry in lsusb

user136984

"they look innocent" sounds like you're then going to say "but really they're planning to take over the world!". :P

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda nice my dear panda ... yes super-cute ! :D

user136984

Finally! I can once more hear that chat ping here!

Zanna

@SumeetDeshmukh oh yeah... maybe you should highlight that's the device you're trying to use in the first part?

cl-netbox

@Rinzwind rinzy ! :)

user136984

1:38 PM

Must have been a new package update I got today.

Sumeet Deshmukh

@ParanoidPanda are they trying that?

@Zanna maybe I should.

Zanna

looks like it's this device askubuntu.com/questions/457061/… @SumeetDeshmukh

user136984

@SumeetDeshmukh: Yes, didn't you know? They're actually really fearsome creators that will bite your head off as soon as look at you. Looking innocent is just a trick to get you closer! >:D

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda Hi pandy ! :D

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna should I just delete other entries in lsusb?

user136984

1:39 PM

@cl-netbox: What? :D

Sumeet Deshmukh

@ParanoidPanda my god, I don't know alot

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda hahaha :D

Sumeet Deshmukh

of things

Zanna

@SumeetDeshmukh maybe... but please take a look at the question I linked... maybe yours is a duplicate of that

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna yes i'm doing that

Zanna

1:41 PM

hope it works!

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna the problem is wired connection is also not working, I did it using nexus 5 with usb tethering.

user136984

@SumeetDeshmukh: And that's how they like to keep you. Really, if you look in any direction now you will see at least 10 of them in each direction. Buddy, the Wombattian Empire is taking over he world and you didn't even notice! ;P

Zanna

you can't use tethering? what about ethernet?

user136984

You should pay attention more, then you can be to take one on face to face, snout to snout. The world is now in your hands, or their paws!

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna I do not have ethernet connection. I use mobile data mostly, the wired connection entry can bee seen in the script output `Bus 001 Device 004: ID 18d1:4ee3 Google Inc. Nexus 4 (tether)
` I don't know why it's shown as Nexus 4 (maybe because of custom rom)

cl-netbox

1:44 PM

@ParanoidPanda which package was it ? I stlll don't get a sound notification :(

Sumeet Deshmukh

@ParanoidPanda I don't wanna be part of this man, I hated all the movies in 90's, they mostly showed giant animals or sharks killing everybody

Zanna

@SumeetDeshmukh yeah. I don't know how you can do it without some kind of connection... any other devices you can try to connect to?

user136984

@SumeetDeshmukh: And now all you have to do is deal with some little fat Wombats before they take over the world and have you for dinner. :P

1:48 PM

@Zanna I tried a Motorola phone and a xiaomi phone, both wired and wireless, not working. `ping 8.8.8.8 works

@ParanoidPanda they aren't getting much for dinner then

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda I don't think that one of them is responsible for sound notification - I guess that's more related to the browser we use and the website. :)

user136984

@SumeetDeshmukh: Don't worry, they'll find something to stuff you with.

Zanna

@SumeetDeshmukh you can ping 8.8.8.8 but not access the internet?

user136984

@cl-netbox: Actually, I think it was, given the description of this one:

user136984

extra/ffmpeg 1:3.3.2-1 [installed]
    Complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video

Sumeet Deshmukh

1:50 PM

@ParanoidPanda they are not innocent anymore, || @Zanna exactly, I also tried adding 8.8.8.8 to DNS but that doesn't make any effect on the situation

Zanna

@SumeetDeshmukh :( usually that fixes it

user136984

@SumeetDeshmukh: I told you it was just a guise.

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda well I don't think so - but who knows ... :)

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna exactly, I thought I had the random mac address issue, but that wasn't the case, I'm using manjaro right now

Zanna

but have you tried downloading stuff through apt and git? sometimes with resolvd problems I can still use apt

Manjaro must have the driver for your device

jokerdino

1:53 PM

@SumeetDeshmukh flagged as offtopic

Sumeet Deshmukh

yes I also did sudo apt-get update but it was giving me an error. and for packages it was unable to find them

Zanna

@jokerdino you've got the hammer :P

Sumeet Deshmukh

@jokerdino what dupilacte? I need that duplicate :P

user136984

@cl-netbox: I think it probably was given it hasn't worked for months and since this codecs update it has started working. :)

Zanna

maybe you can try building the module in manjaro

@SumeetDeshmukh not duplicate! not Ubuntu

but I guess it will not work because different kernel...

Sumeet Deshmukh

1:56 PM

@Zanna I got no idea about whatever you just said :P read the third point here

Zanna

you like watching movies?

user136984

@cl-netbox: It is also a Firefox dependency so I think that the update in codecs Firefox uses for MP3 etc is probably what fixed it. :)

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna yes, the point is building the module on manjaro is not good for me, not without help, I struggled to even download apps on manjaro

user136984

You could try installing the latest version and see. I don't know for sure of course because this has worked on and off for some time.

user136984

But I hope that this is the final fix for it to work again! :)

Zanna

1:59 PM

@SumeetDeshmukh I guess you can try downloading the linux kernel headers (as a deb package) for your Ubuntu kernel on Manjaro and cloning the repo, put it all on a USB, then boot into Ubuntu, install the deb package, then follow the instructions

Anwar

@edwinksl yes of course!

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna let me try that, I'll just need to learn few new things

Zanna

what's the kernel? output of uname -r on Ubuntu?

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda that would be good ! :)

user136984

@cl-netbox: Indeed it would. :)

Sumeet Deshmukh

2:03 PM

@Zanna let me boot Ubuntu

@Zanna checking it in live session is fine right?

cl-netbox

@SumeetDeshmukh do you allow it @Zanna ??? :D :D :D

Zanna

er I don't think the live session will tell you...

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna I was going to install it anyway (no I wasn't)

Zanna

have you installed?

or you've only tried it in live mode so far?

sorry I'm not on your question page

@cl-netbox maybe just this once!

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna I had it installed then I deleted everything and installed manjaro on 25 gb partition, now i'll install Ubuntu gnome

@Zanna both live mode and installed mode, but all the outputs were taken on live mode?

@i'll install it and get back to you

Zanna

2:07 PM

ahh... hmm... well no guarantees it's going to work... But I don't think you can test this process effectively in a live session :/

OK... unfortunately I have to go to work :/

but not for long

let me see if I can find where you can download the package... I don't remember the kernel version of the release image...

Anwar

huh? askubuntu.com/questions/881966/…

OP thought we get point closing questions!

cl-netbox

Hi @Anwar ! :) Good afternoon ! :)

TheWanderer

I don't see where they say that...

Anwar

@TheWanderer they say what? points?

TheWanderer

yeah

Anwar

2:13 PM

@cl-netbox Hi

> No @Anwar It's not a duplicate question. Maybe the resolution is similar, but the question is different. One is asking about how to make sure that a version of QT is installed properly. The other is asking how to switch between different versions of installed QT. But well done on word-matching or noticing that an answer linked to another answer in a different post to try to shut this question down to get those sweet points you love so much.

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Zanna well I'll update the question with results from installed ubuntu gnome

Zanna

great :)

TheWanderer

@Anwar the comment doesn't say that here o_O

it was edited

Zanna

but I'm a noob when it comes to networking and drivers :) fortunately there are folks who know...

Sumeet Deshmukh

Who are the folks who know?

Zanna

2:15 PM

chili555 and Pilot6

TheWanderer

hmm I need food....

Zanna

anyway someone here probably knows how to find the deb package for the linux-headers for a particular kernel when you don't have APT to find them for you

Anwar

@TheWanderer aha! I have the old version then! Maybe my comment made them edit it :)

TheWanderer

hi

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

I found this little question: askubuntu.com/q/779582/295286 Deleted without any trace of reasons why.

Do you have mod powers to see anything about it ? was it a valid deletion ?

Nothing special in the timeline either

A nope wait

Jun 3 at 5:05	history	deleted	Community♦	Scheduled: RemoveAbandonedQuestions

Seth

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

So there's a scheduled deletion for "abandoned" questions ?

Seth

yes

askubuntu.com/help/roomba

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

6:47 PM

That's something new.

TheWanderer

no it isn't

Avery

seeing the reason is 10k only

TheWanderer

Serg is above 10k I think

Avery

but that's an old addition

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@TheWanderer new for me, is what I'm saying

TheWanderer

6:48 PM

scrub

Avery

I know, but newly 10k?

nope

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@Avery askubuntu.com/help/privileges

Avery

no

Zanna

that script surely deletes 100s of posts network wide every week

Avery

I was talking about when you turned 10k

Zanna

6:50 PM

that was a long time ago

I think Serg had about 30k when I first got here

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@Avery When you turn 10k , you get the privilleges to view deleted posts. I don't quite see what you mean by "newly", as there's no timeout

no timeout before you can use privilleges

Zanna

I think Avery was speculating that you'd only just got 10k, since you said it's "new to me"

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Nah, I was talking about the automatic cleaning of the posts. That is new to me.

Zanna

yes I know

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

As for my rep, I am 47,877 as of this very instant

Zanna

6:52 PM

Avery meant, since noticing this deletion is new to you, maybe you are new to 10k, because only 10k-ers can see deleted posts (I assume!)

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Lol, communication issues , right ? :)

Zanna

maybe I am making them worse XD

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

And in the other news . . . I lasted 11 days without smokes or coffee. Had coffee yesterday, and two smokes today.

Well OnePlus went downhill fast.

TheWanderer

6:54 PM

they started downhill

gave up on the OP1 and 2

hopefully they won't on the 3+

user136984

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy: I haven't had any coffee for about 6 months due to some medication!

Zanna

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy 11 days is pretty good going :)

user136984

It's a tough tough time, but my doctor says maybe after the summer I can go back on it.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Well . . . I guess I'll just stick with whatever Android I have now for as long as I can, and then maybe one day when I'm not saving up money, I'll buy another phone

@ParanoidPanda had any cravings ?

user136984

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy: Had, but it's been so long now that I don't have any any more, just a faint memory of better times.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

6:57 PM

@Zanna yeah, it is. I was originally planning to avoid everything till end of June, but . . . I had to be honest with me, that's not exactly what I wanted, and honestly I still like that stuff ( and yes that stuff is bad)

Avery

@Zanna yeah this was what i meant

Seth

meanwhile my 5X, released just 2-3 months after the OP2, will get Android O. And Google even killed the Nexus line..

OnePlus really loves shooting themselves in the foot.

TheWanderer

rip

well to be fair, OnePlus is owned by Oppo, which is doing great

and maybe Oppo doesn't care too much if OnePlus dies

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

You know, in this day and age technology gets old really really fast, plus cost outweighs the user's plea, so . . .I can understand that from Oppo's business perspective. From a user perspective, it's of course disappointing

I still like my OP2. Of all the phones I had so far, OP2 and Samsung S3 are my favorite. And of course my first luv, Siemens C65

or wait . . .that wasn't C65 . . .because C65 pics look different. My phone had kinda square shape, this one is more rounded

ah yes, C75

Ah, the memories

We used to make conferences and just chat or play music. Place phones next to music player speakers or headphones
