I'd thought this was allowed in PHP :(
stupid PHP
PHP is not a good language.
The last straw for me was discovering that I couldn't throw exceptions in __toString().

@NathanOsman do you know at least a good IDE in Ubuntu?
Komodo Edit.
I like Geany 'cause its simple, but when time is pressing debugg is an endless task.

@blade19899 Closed :P
@lucio, I know, but, still a valuable Q/A...
01:23
That's right.
What are the rules about using link shorteners
80M are too much for an editor
Maybe it comes with my project already finished..

Q: How to give a daemon (dansguardian) uid?

fpghostWhen I installed dansguardian from the repos a long time ago, it set itself up such that in iptablesI could refer to it as --uid-owner dansguardian, which allows me to allow/deny it access to certain ports, very handy. Now I've installed a more current version from source, I need reproduce this ...

I have a system that won't detect CDs anymore and a system that won't burn.
I need help.
@NathanOsman can I cry on your shoulder bro?
01:30
@RolandiXor isn't that hardware problem?
@Lucio no clue.
The one that won't detect was working this morning, then suddenly stopped working.
Without warning.
I upgrade the system to 13.10, no change.
The other system... is frustration to no end.
Wastes CDs...
CDs have reach its ends
Yeah :/
BUT I don't have a choice.
why?
So... I could do with some help.
01:31
oh, then hands at work
I'm a weeeeeeeeeeeeee bit over the top of my patience with these systems.
@Lucio well the persons who need the CDs don't have another option at the moment.
Oh, I forget. I was developing.. bye

@RolandiXor Can you delete this (or rather, move it to a comment) please?
thanks
02:14
@RolandiXor Yes.
02:33
@ThomasW. OTOH, there could be an effective tooltip explaining why something is reversed instead of what is shown :) As Seth pointed out, the reversals seem to be related to edits. Anyway, a lot of things in life confuse me. This is just one more.
03:09
@vasa1 is weird in your case... did you got downvoted also?
Oh wait, I know... the user was 1 by 1 removing all his post and then deleted the account...
@RolandiXor: why not a liveusb?
why there was no close vote on this askubuntu.com/questions/177814/…

@Braiam oh whoopsie daisy, i pressed the wrong button.... winks
@Braiam you can post this question answer to the original question(just as a copy)
@jrg did you close this askubuntu.com/questions/177814/…
@jrg ^^

@Lucio not me

Sometimes I just can't resist..
@AvinashRaj what original question?
Oh, Amith starred with a photo, that should be funny..
again, I'm using the dpkg lockfile as example... since it's the thing most people stumble at
I'm not trying to fix anything!
03:36
yes i know your question was not a duplicate
mine is diagnostic, the other is troubleshooting
(but I hope that instead of deleting the darn file they at least check what process is using it)
<-- rages each time people just delete system files...
@Rinzwind please, decide..
@Braiam not downvoted. The amount of 2 points indicates edits as Seth pointed out. I put up a small image of what I saw in meta. Anyway, now I see "+8 serial voting reversed". All too confusing. First -16 for "User deleted" then +8 "serial voting reversed". I don't know if there's any connection.
I was serial downvoted yesterday too... apparently someone didn't like our elitist behaviour </sarcasm>
03:55
@Braiam hmm?
04:25
When I tried to check the time:
O_o
@jrg You don't have that privilege :P
@Braiam You have 15k already? Is your job to answer questions here? ;P

Q: Installing Android 4.3 onto my computer not working

Q: Difference between .changes and .dsc files? [manually updating package]

techtonikWhat is the difference between .changes and .dsc file? Debian Policy says about required field set, but misses the essence and the meaning on the whole. Why have two (actually there are three) when you can have the only one? Can this .changes file be derived from .dsc (or vice versa)? What is t...

Q: OpenSSH hangs after login without showing login prompt

Maciej JankowskiI ran across an issue with ssh after fresh Ubuntu 13.10 installation on Lenovo T420. I tried git pull (which failed) and this led me to more general ssh failing. After spending some 2-3 hrs of beautiful Sunday morning I have established: ssh is able to authenticate. see the log below. I can co...

Note that I found it by google-ing free django hosting. First result. I'm not RH aficionado. It just looks like a duck.
Amazing first app interface... I don't particularly like the company but that workflow is awesomesauce.

hi @hbdgaf
@Seth "42" ;)
12:48
promise a commit to camcastic is coming. i'm just debating about a lot of large changes. like binding a display window to a camera of choice instead of auto-selection and allowing a dynamic array of cameras... etc etc. it's at a usable point now, so it's big changes or trudge along with same old same old time. @Mateo
@hbdgaf yeah, I figured using multiple cameras would change things quite a bit

hey. Does anyone know how to make the "edit" button disappear in Ubuntu gnome files?
@Elysium on right click?
hey Mateo....that gives me properties and that is just simply limited in options..file permission and sharing
weird how horrible the file manager is in ubuntu gnome desktop
basically I am trying to change the default file view to "view items as a list"...when I click on it and close the window...upon reopening it goes back to the default icon view
maybe:

Q: How do I set default view to 'list' in Nautilus file manager?

heisenbergI would like to set my Nautilus "Default view" to List globally on my PC. Is this possible, if so, how do I achieve this? Linked Question (old)

14:04
there is no edit button...that's the issue :)
the gear on the right?
doesnt contain edit
does it have anything like "properties" or "preferences"
yes....but that only gives permission and sharing settings...nothing else
I think I'll look into dconf...if menu can be conjured from there
yeah....done....thru dconf editor
hm, strange that gnome is removing all this stuff
14:10
check this out
there is no close button either in the right corner
in the tweak tool I have just set it for all windows....but it doesnt appear in the file manager
ok.....got it.....I could have changed things right clicking on the list bar icon of the file manager
@Elysium lol, that is client side decorations for you - gnome puts it in - gnome ubuntu takes it out - now you can't set it to what you want
@Elysium oh, that is where it was hiding :)
another stupid question :P
I have now a tast bar at the bottom....but right click wont bring up the option of "close"
it does nothing
do you have any idea where to set that?
to remove the task bar - or close the window/program?
close the window...I want the task bar

Q: Close all windows of the same application in gnome shell

khalafntAs the title says, Is there a shortcut to close all windows of the same application in gnome shell, or an extension to do this? Thanks.

maybe an extension?
14:24
thanks. I look into it. It is kinda stupid that I have to maximize the window to be able to close it when I have a window list at the bottom

Good Night
@Mateo The problem actually was the two clocks each show different time ;)
17:04
@seth Is that the system app on the lock screen? Can you change lock screen items on that one?
@Mateo Yeah you can. It's Cyanogenmod so ;)
I'll have to take some pictures and show you.
@Mateo Oh wait, items? Hmm. Not sure about items. I thought you meant the screen itself.
I honestly have no idea why the clock shows two different times...
@Mateo It's got some options, control music, show song, calender events, change the layout.
Some of the androids let you change things on the lock screen, bet who made it did a custom "app" separate from the system time
I'm not sure, since it's the only gingerbread device I've ever gotten to play with, but that would account for it.

@Braiam No. You can help me fix this message. It's error message pop-up when I run Photoshop too. — Dozortsev Anton 1 min ago

@Braiam pythonbrew? i think you have me confused with someone else.
Easypeasy had no desktop, only the menu opened at all times. That's what I want. A menu and not a desktop — Rares Lisovschi 8 mins ago
err... what?
@Seth btw, that one was fast, and nobody casted DV D:
@Braiam Community casted downvotes.. A mod must have gotten it though.
@hbdgaf yeah, maybe..
17:38
Actually, you can see.
@Seth btw, I got what you see, the "you have held package back" and it only happens when I use apt-get (normally I use aptitude) and they will be new packages installed
@Braiam virtualenv yes, but when you start making wrappers for wrappers for wrappers so you have to have ten thousand configuration files to change "cd ~/work/pythonproject && source bin/activate" to "workon pythonproject" it's an exercise in laziness, not utility.

Greetings from Opera.
@NathanOsman don't sing and chat :-))
Not that Opera.
Opera, the browser.
@NathanOsman What version?
On what OS?
@vasa1 Voted to close all his posts.
Opera 18 on Windows.
The only browser on Windows besides IE to offer a 64-bit version.
18 is pretty nice.. Just wish they had a Linux version.
20:54
@NathanOsman I thought Opera was sort of dead, like DED dead...
Nope. They switched to Chromium based and basically started from scratch.
They are using Blink for rendering.
It's actually reasonably fast now.
The only problem is they gave up Linux wise..

I know, I was more being snarky than anything... hides
/me is trying out Ubuntu builder..
20:56
Ubuntu builder?
my initial guess is another remastersys attempt, but sponsored.
@hbdgaf nah, I just need to get data off a friends windows xp computer with less than 512MB of RAM and I need an extra thing or two that doesn't come with the liveCD. Not going to even try and boot that Windows...
Gotta wait 5 seconds before the start menu even shows up.
I keep an old knoppix CD around for that type of thing.
Nothing against Ubuntu, just for grossly underpowered systems, knoppix is where the hotness stays.
Oh cool. I was going to use Crunchbang, but I decided on Lubuntu instead.
I use Xubuntu for the lappie. Knoppix is like the "I saw your hardware and cried a little, then threw up in my mouth. I still have to make it boot though" distribution for me.
I don't use LXDE because I love desktop compositing candy, but I want to pick and choose... so XFCE is a nice middle ground. Compositing on LXDE is still a little weak for me (unless you beat it in to submitting to compiz, but then you're effectively as heavy as xfwm4)
@hbdgaf Yeah that's true.
Erg, I can't get it to open a console.. Just closes.
21:07
Lubuntu won't open a console? Do you have the console app it tries to launch installed? When I ran openbox/lxde I usually installed a non-standard xterm and used that...so just guessing.
No, Ubuntu Builder won't open the console.. I got it to open a graphical chroot though.
There's a bug about that I think. I glanced at the project page.
Oh, ok.
Hmm.

A: Can Ubuntu defragment NTFS or FAT drives?

alexgYes, you can use shake. You'll first need to add a custom repository to your system: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:un-brice/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install shake-fs Then you can do sudo shake /some/dir

@Seth nope i was mistaken. it was something about trying to install fluxbox and X going all wonky. could be related though.
@hbdgaf Well it doesn't matter at this instant.
21:12
@Seth does not seem legit. you CAN to low level NTFS work from linux, but why would you want to? I just don't trust ntfs-3g for low level operations.
Thanks though :)
@hbdgaf Well if you're in my case, where the computer at hand is so slow it wouldn't work in windows..
@Seth I'm with psusi on that one...
He doesn't have a saucy repo anyway.
(I had to think twice before writing his name...)
please, this question, out of its misery... askubuntu.com/q/407867/169736
I'll probably regret starting this project and leave it unfinished, but github.com/aking1012/pyStockCharts

Well good enough for now. talk to you guys later.

What is the equivalent for CHECK() in MySQL? Sadly, I get used to MS SQL.
@Rinzwind I'm very sure you know this ^ :)
not that i use anything but sqlite for lightweight or postgres for heavyweight
Every time I say heavyweight I hear this in my head youtube.com/watch?v=XCIDq-0hYXk
and here i go installing IDA and ImmDbg in wineprefixes again... :(
23:29
@Braiam and the answer is STOP USING MYSQL - lol
what is pss?
@hbdgaf but I want it for mysql
23:40
@hbdgaf I'm so tight in HDD space that even that is a luxury for me :P
@Lucio eh? more or less...
@pacificfils I'm not a mod.
At least not here on Ask Ubuntu.
(I'm a mod. on Stack Apps and Ebooks.)
I would need to talk to the other blog administrators before releasing the source code.
And it's about to get a redesign, so it would need to wait a bit.
