@MarcoCeppi did you ever get Exchange and Evolution to talk to each other?
@TheEvilPhoenix Yeah, I ended up using davmail
which I was surprised to find - there is a deb for, but it's not in the repos
I've been thinking about becoming a MOTU, maybe this could be my first contribution
lol
if you become an MOTU, you'll have incessant questions from me
literally, an unceasing stream of questions
so I ask you: do you REALLY want me throwing an unceasing stream of questions at you?
and also @Marco there are some questions flagged as dupes - have those flags been addressed?
@TheEvilPhoenix not by me yet
There
15:13
:)
i had thought mods do nothing but watch the mod queue xD
i guess i was wrong
@TheEvilPhoenix Thanks for fixing the tag.
@Incognito yep, although i thnk i could trim a few more out of there, i wont
and i think bash can be trimmed from the tags...
becuase your issue is really about processes not loading/finishing loading/terminating
not an issue with bash, per se
I'm not even sure how to deal with this, my main problem in my mind is I can't use bash to do anything because it's so wonky.
but this is on boot
not actually an issue with bash
likely its caused by Tomcat
or some other loading process
hence the removal of the tag
Makes sense.
15:22
wow...
somewhere i got a hundred more rep
checks new accounts linked to here
oh that explains it
physics.se
x]
hehe... remember when I had rep of 2666?
and we thought the end of the world was coming? yeah.
and a few wer elike "OMG HE'S SO EVIL, HE NEEDS A 2 NEXT TO HIS 666!!!"
:P
here's a thought:
what happens when I reach 3666?
15:25
or 6666?
or god forbid... 666666
ARRRGGGGGGGHHH.
:P
@Incognito now you know why i have the name "The Evil Phoenix" :P
@MarcoCeppi Found you on that newfangled Google+.
@JamesGifford found you on a map of the planet >:)
@TheEvilPhoenix Well that aint hard.
15:28
@JamesGifford the problem is HOW I found you points to a secret military satellite
@TheEvilPhoenix I want one of those!! >:D
presses the big red button on the satellite's control panel by accident
oops
is now dead
watches a laser beam come down from space and incinerate the area
OOOOPPS.
yesterday, by Marco Ceppi
Let's stop pretending to throw things at people in the room. It's just wasteful noise.
Stop pretending to throw lasers at me! :P
(although i think the military is designing such a satellite for anti-missile things)
They are.
i think the military also developed a taser round that fits into a shotgun, but that's a different matter
:P
3 hours ago, by htorque
whoever invited the watermelon should have left out the pips (is that the right word?)
@htorque NOBODY INVENTED THE WATERMELON!
it just SPAWNED FROM NATURE!
How does Mutter differ to Compiz in terms of its resource consumption? http://bit.ly/nHy32q #unity
15:35
@QuestionsFeed eeehhhhhh...
Anyone got some time to modify something for me in the gimp for an event?
@JorgeCastro I've got nothing but time right now. What's up?
see the circular logos?
I need someone to modify one
to just say "Ubuntu Global Jam" and then the dates: wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam
15:42
What kind of modifications?
so like, fill in the "I'm going to"
and then just have the bubble say "Ubuntu Global Jam" at the top half of the circle
and the dates on the bottom half
so we can run it on AU as an ad!
whooohoooo
:P
I'll give it a go. I'm not a gimp wizard though, so it might look horrible. :P
oh good, lunch is in 15 minutes :P
@JamesGifford you do it in gimp, i'll try inkscape
@JorgeCastro where are the dates? should they go inside the bubble?
15:44
@htorque It's a png. Not a svg.
I am not sure if the dates should go inside the b ubble or not
whatever makes it easier for us to change the dates next cycle. :)
top or bottom logo?
Bottom one looks cooler IMHO.
</boom>
:D
@Amithkk BOOM!!!!
15:51
If you guys are fighting on who will do the logo I have more events if you want to split it. :)

Q: Request for Community Promotion Ads artwork.

Jorge CastroThere are some events in the Ubuntu Community that I'd love to run as Community Promotion Ads, but unfortunately I don't have the skill to make nice looking ads, so this is a place where people can request ads for that thread and people can make ads. Image requirements The image that you creat...

Q: Ubuntu one files, deleting pictures from pc should remove them from phones gallery

CaptainMarkWhen im using the ubuntu one android phone app for files which will automatically upload my pictures taken to the cloud and then to my desktop, if i delete them from my desktop then they should be removed from the phones gallery

but his answer got deleted?
any way to figure out why?
@MarcoCeppi deleter!
(I can't vote to undelete because a mod deleted it)
@JamesGifford need any help?
16:05
maybe instead I should delete the question because it isn't :)
@JorgeCastro > not an answer – Jorge Castro 4 hours ago Valid
wait, what?
it was flagged for removal
by you and other people
Ha! caught!
16:05
ugh, I messed that up then
Undeleted
I typically just glaze things the power-flaggers flag
ah wait
that was the one that was "We"
this morning
sorry I boned that one up. :-/
No big deal, nothing is permanent
I rolled it back and undeleted it. Then upboated
I am out of votes, I'll make it up to him tonight.
heh
@marco, @jorge thanks
16:09
but yeah, that should just be a wishlist bug report anyway
yeah
16:25
I redrew from scratch
BBL
Hi everyone!
I need a bit of help
I run this on terminal:
'patch -p1 < $CWD/patch/xf86-input-synaptics/synaptics-clickpad-support.patch --verbose || { touch ${SLACK_X_BUILD_DIR}/${PKGNAME}.failed ; continue ; } to /home/superstar/x11/patch/xf86-input-synaptics.patch'
and I get:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token '/home/superstar/...
Anyone out there ?!
16:56

@OmeidHerat What instructions are you following?
17:49
AND I HAVE RETURNED!

Q: Bash Script: catching errors in a block of statements

Miles StevensonI have a large iptables ruleset that I manage with my own bash script. Most of the commands in the script are simple, single-statment iptables commands. I am trying to improve the script by adding success/failure output as the script executes. I have the script broken out into different sections...

i think this is one of those edge-case questions
but it is much more oriented towards, say, stackoverflow or U&L
your opinion?
its only VERY loosely related to Ubuntu.
hi people
hi tiny phoenix
@TheEvilPhoenix A comment might suffice, but I won't migrate unless the author wants me to
(Also because I want to answer it) :P
lol
what happens if others chime in on my comment and support it>?
why is everyone getting all strict on closing/migrating all of a sudden?
then you've got a ton more support for migration :P
@JorgeCastro because i brought this up in meta xD
about edge-case questions

Q: Moderating Edge-Case Questions which can belong on Multiple Sites

The Evil PhoenixThis question counts as an edge-case question: How to organize a block of text in 8-character lines? Such an edge-case question can be considered extremely loosely on-topic for AskUbuntu. However, it is fully on-topic for StackOverflow or Unix&Linux. In such edge cases as these, what is th...

18:18
@JorgeCastro Because we've gotten lazy and want others to answer questions we should be answering...?
BTW, my ad redo-thing was a failure. :(

Q: Is it Safe to Chmod on usr/lib?

CIRKCan I do this? sudo chmod -R myUsernName /usr/lib I mean can I do this without worrying that my OS will be broken? Or permissions will be screwed up?

18:35
Why does nothing happen when I click "Shutdown" from the "shutdown..." dialog? http://bit.ly/ovK30j #1104
not actually here
not actually there
18:52
MS languages are so evil that if you do "While False:" the Loop actually start!
19:28
i hate to ask, but can someone upvote this? I'd really like to hit 200 rep on StackOverflow :P

Q: Using a .php file to generate a MySQL dump

The Evil PhoenixHere's the information I have: I am working with a Linux based system using MySQL and PHP5. I need to be able to generate a mysqldump from within a .php file, and then have that dump be stored in a file on the server in a location I would specify. As I'm a PHP nooblet, I'd like someone to give...

I hate PHP
Pretty Horrible Programming

the SE podcast is live in a minute, in case you're interested :-)
http://www.livestream.com/stackexchange
http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/512/se-podcast-live-chat
@juancarlospaco speak for yourself
i always speak for myself
Next time Marco Ceppi gets upset because someone is light-hearted, let's all leave the chat... for good.
i dont speak for anyone else
@RolandTaylor don't like your new avatar :\
19:54
@StefanoPalazzo good :)
It's meant to be mysterious, disturbing, provocative, etc.
@StefanoPalazzo @Roland doesnt like your avatar as a result
It matches my mood: depressed and unhappy.
change it back and buy a sex pistols album instead ;)
Sex... pistols?
LOL
@RolandTaylor time for google :P
I'm not sure I want to google that...
@RolandTaylor you are joking right? (help me out, it's hard to tell)
@StefanoPalazzo i dont THINK he's joking...
19:57
@StefanoPalazzo :)
easy google: sex ahtn then: pistols
Is my avatar smiling?
@RolandTaylor in my mind it is
19:58
we cannot say
so there :P
Well, to each his own :)
its laughtingz
To me, my avatar doesn't have a mouth...
but can smile anyways
19:59
Although when I took that picture I'm pretty sure I had a mouth :)
@RolandTaylor you could always slap @Stefano for mentioning a concept of which you do not believe is google-worthy because of the possibility of NSFW material
@TheEvilPhoenix nah, slapping is soooo below me.
brb
burning with fire then
oh wait, thats my action
2 days ago, by Marco Ceppi
Let's stop pretending to throw things at people in the room. It's just wasteful noise.
fire?, lets make BBQ!
20:00
(Apparently... not my opinion).
anyways, afk
this is really weird
from my server log:
@Stefano ?
213.234.197.54 - - [19/Jul/2011:15:37:42] "GET /user/soapCaller.bs HTTP/1.1" 200 - "" "Morfeus Fucking Scanner"
its a www crawler stefanno
a massive scanner script
20:03
u.u
invader zim?
I assumed it was some kind of malware, like something that looks for a specific version of some software with an exploit
its not a DDoS software, if you think that
depends on definition of malware
yeah I didn't think that
What does it do? Attempt to spam the server with profanity?
@juancarlospaco you know what I mean, go 'round the web and look for wordpress version 2.8.31232 which had a remote code execution vulnerability, then use it to distribute spam or whatever
I also have someone looking for "ip.php"
20:06
Flags of software should be hidden from public side, by IT security reasons
@StefanoPalazzo use fail2ban and have it search the logs :P

Q: Appropriate defense for 404s in my logs - persistent web scans from one region

The Evil PhoenixThis seems to be a fairly easy question to figure out, but I wanted to make sure. I've got about a thousand entries on one of my web servers with phpmyadmin in the connection criterion, but as I don't have phpmyadmin installed, it always 404s. They originate from several former-Soviet-bloc coun...

replace the: version 2.8.31232 for version: U_Mad_ScriptKiddie?
this stuff worked with me combatting malware scanners that looked for phpMyAdmin\
oh my word, this wasn't my website at all, it was a webserver running on my laptop - I was looking at the wrong terminal
didn't know that was publicly accessible :\
20:08
lol what?
you FAILED?
changes router config
@StefanoPalazzo lrn2firewall :P
@StefanoPalazzo i'm even more secure - i have 2 firewalls: the router, and iptables rules locally
so even if the router forwards to my computer
</block>
I have three firewalls.
two routers (don't ask why) then iptables rules.
Wait, four. My subnet has it's own firewall. likes rude goldberg style networks
20:20
anyways a lot of vulnerability on PHP thingys
lots of wordpress PWNed
BTW @StefanoPalazzo it's all good between me and you - my earlier remarks (and avatar) are impersonal.
no worries boss, that's what I thought
Like a Boss
@StefanoPalazzo cool :D
wrong room
20:38
we need to create a room with that name
the "wrong room" join the wrong chat
:P
20:52
lol !

A: How can I see the diff for an edit I have made before it is approved?

zkriesseWell when you edit the question you'll see it in the preview box below the text editor with which you are performing the edit. It's exactly the same for when you post a question, comment, answer, or perform an edit you'll see what you're typing and/or editing before said post/edit is tossed up on...

upvote!
please
done
How can I encode and decode percent-encoded strings on the command line? http://bit.ly/nXg3zs #commandline
a bit sterile...
21:45
can you remove the aubergine?
looks better with just a white background I think
nice
should i make the bubble text a bit bigger and move it closer to the center?
21:55
(last one, i promise :P)
woo!
rock and roll
wanna post it or do you want me to?
pick the one you want and post it
i can also upload the source somewhere
hi
22:06
i'll replace it, the text ends are not centered -.-
hah really, there's no need to be so picky!
<---- is distrubed by OCD cat...
then try CDO cat :P
22:10
what? only 2 upboats?
i <3 CDO cat, he's my gravatar on facebook
CDO cat?
fail
so, how do you share a svg file? hm...
@juancarlospaco lol
DoR
DoR
@htorque Why is that even an option then? @_@
22:15
that's the fail ;)
DoR
DoR
Someone had to take the time to block PHP and didn't think to just remove that option.
@DoR the system won't let sconklin answer his own question in less than 8 hours
DoR
DoR
@JorgeCastro Do you need extra rep for that?
I think so
I dunno what the threshold is
he was below 50 when he posted it
Oi, @JorgeCastro are there any tags on the exchange that are for ubuntu server stuff like Firebird/Apache etc
22:22
ah, less than 100 rep
@zkriesse yeah there are plenty
kk
oh and @JorgeCastro would you mind closing this question on META? I think my answer is quite sufficient

Q: How can I see the diff for an edit I have made before it is approved?

AzendaleWhen I edit someone's question, I have to wait for the edit to be approved before the link that says when the question was edited and links to the changes appears if I want to see the changes I have made. However, I'm most likely to want to see my changes before it is approved. How can I do this?

well, it has 2 upvotes
so it counts as answered
Oli

@zkriesse Only the asker can mark their question answered. "Closing" is for questions that shouldn't be on the site (duplicate, off-topic, etc).
22:46
night all
23:00
keep it real all, i'm out
23:15
illuminates chat with his eyes, and ceases to have been here
@htorque if you don't mind it possibly being deleted in a few days, or when ever I fell like it, you can use paste.plzz.de ;-)
I don't discriminate against xml
