Q: Implement uploading of screencast

Will askubuntu implement uploading of screencasts ? I think screencasts are better way to show the errors or problems users might encounter.

Anybody have idea with USB TV Tuner ?
please help http://askubuntu.com/questions/348740/iball-clarotv-model-t18-usb-tv-fm-tuner-stick-on-ubuntu-13-04

@Vinoth.3v hi - it's very unlikely than somebody here in this chatroom had any experience with this very tuner. If you are lucky somebod stumbles upon your question to help you but this may take some time. Did you ask the vendor/manufacturer for help?

Hey guys. I'm facing a weird issue with tcpdump O.o.

It's seeing the interface numbers incorrectly.

Example: eth1 10.10.10.10

eth2 10.10.10.15

When I do tcpdump -i eth1

It's showing me the packets coming in to eth2.

How strange is that.

vendor simply says, 'it it not compatible with linux',
but it has afatech made processor, it seems other afatech processor has support in linuxtv.

fossfreedom

@Vinoth.3v if you are lucky and the tuner is similar to others that are already supported you may be able to grab the v4l source code and add the USB ID to it. Recompile and install.

Takkat

@Vinoth.3v vendors often say that :"( - but its a lie in most cases. Foss's idea is good as always. But it may be some trial and error involved.

Vinoth.3v

@Takkat this how windows stands!

@fossfreedom Thank you very much, I already tried media_build script from linuxtv to compile it, could you please tell me how exactly,

fossfreedom

thats the leg-work you going to have to do. My suggestion would be to take baby steps - find the current linuxtv source code and see if you can compile it. If you have any issues, ask a question. It seems fairly straightforward to do - linuxtv.org/repo

once you've got the source compiling, then look at modifying it.

Q: Should these two questions about running/installing .exe files be merged?

The two questions I am talking about are: Why does Ubuntu fail to run .exe files? / How do I run .exe? How can I install Windows software? also games? They are different but they both try to achieve the same goal. Can we consider them as duplicates? I am biased towards this answer by Rafał C...

anyone else having issues with xfce on saucy getting stuck at 1 workspace?

fossfreedom

sounds like a bug-report is needed.

hbdgaf

okay. i didn't know if anyone else had even seen it, or if it was a quirk. it's set in the xml config file, and if i log out and log back in it works as you would expect, but there seems to be some issue with autologin if i'm the only one that sees it happen.

i'm not really big on the only happens to me bug reports. i think it's a headache already hard-working devs don't need until i can fix my own problem and offer a suggestion.

fossfreedom

wish there were more like you on launchpad!

hbdgaf

the world can hardly handle the one of me ;)

@fossfreedom - do you remember that utility for animated gif screencasting? someone on meta wants it i think it was banz or something meta.askubuntu.com/questions/7369/…

nice, thanks. i updated the link (wrong one in chat initially). dropped that in comments over on meta.

i'm getting some weird adds on G+ after i shared some code in a private bitbucket repo. is that normal?

fossfreedom

that reminds me - need to send to launchpad a saucy package. That's tonights work.

that's why I said that it would be better if you asked the question yourself with your own exposure

Internet Relay Chat

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a protocol for live interactive Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing. IRC was created in 1988. Client software is available for every major operating system that supports Internet access. As of April 2011, the top 100 IRC networks served more than half a million users at a time, with hundreds of thousands of channels History IRC ...

Wikipedia says that you can share files using IRC. Does someone knows how to do it?
