it's too hard to earn reps in SO with slow connection. OMG.

@Rinzwind Thanks.

Avinash Raj

16:27

May i put an link to SO profile page on my CV?

Rinzwind

@AvinashRaj sure :D but if it is a good idea?

CV should be work related or about experiences gained :+)

Avinash Raj

but not so much reps on that.

Seth

Apple pie anyone?

If anyone can figure this out, there's a 100 point bounty to gain:

Q: What used the linux memory? Low cache, low buffer, not a VM

First of all, yes, I have read LinuxAteMyRAM, which doesn't explain my situation. # free -tm total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 48149 43948 4200 0 4 75 -/+ buffers/cache: 43868 4280 Swap: 38287...

Rinzwind

@terdon not another one of these :-P

terdon

@Rinzwind This one has a twist. Not even Gilles could figure it out. It's not the classic "whaaa where's may RAM?". Have a look at the swap info.

Rinzwind

good game @takkat :-) We will meet in the semi's if all goed well :-)

Rinzwind

18:02

Hey Oli closing topics before I can comment again hmm? :=)

Takkat

18:14

@Rinzwind looking forward to meeting the Dutch :)

Rinzwind

I hope so :D means we both almost made it :+

RPi Awesomeness

@Rinzwind You in a competition?

Rinzwind

I saw a betting slip from someone he betted 5 euro on 10 games where every team scored. He needed portugal to score to win 25k (was the last one he needed).

@RPiAwesomeness world cup ffootball. Germany just killed Portugal with 4-0.

Takkat

oh noes - that was a bad bet.

RPi Awesomeness

Ah.

@Rinzwind sooo....you're cheering for Portugal?

Rinzwind

18:17

@RPiAwesomeness I am dutch. We massacred Spain 5-1 >:D

Takkat

Rinz is looking forward to the Dutch beating German in the finals... ;)

RPi Awesomeness

Ah, I see

Rinzwind

and yes it was a massacre :X

@Takkat not possible. semi's is when we will meet

Takkat

if all goes well.

RPi Awesomeness

@Takkat I take it you are cheering for germany then

Takkat

18:19

no other choice here, really.

RPi Awesomeness

In which case, I fear I must be hostile to you next week

Rinzwind

lol

Takkat

booo

Rinzwind

feel free to kick takkat @RPiAwesomeness whenever you need :+)

RPi Awesomeness

Did either of you watch the Germany/Portugal game?

lol

Rinzwind

18:20

I did

RPi Awesomeness

/kick

Rinzwind

I have watched all games that have been played

RPi Awesomeness

Was portugal very good?

Rinzwind

watching Iran Nigeria next

Takkat

1 min ago, by Takkat

no other choice here, really.

Rinzwind

18:21

@RPiAwesomeness nope.... Pepe got a red card again... and Portugal seriously sucked this game

Takkat

@RPiAwesomeness Ronaldo hat the least ball contact from all...

RPi Awesomeness

Yes!

Gosh dangit. I don't think I can actually watch any games

Why can't some of the USA games be on broadcast?

Rinzwind

Ronaldo had a free kick and Germany had a one man wall... he managed to hit that player

Takkat

it is bad for your heart indeed.

RPi Awesomeness

lol, much fail

Oh! Maybe I can stream it, that would be nice...if I HAD INTERNET THAT COULD HANDLE IT GOSH DANGIT!!

Mateo

18:23

@RPiAwesomeness I think they are trying to force people to travel

RPi Awesomeness

@Mateo Why?

To the games?

jokerdino

@Rinzwind I think he was doing that thing all the time.

Mateo

shrug that is how it works with the other football game, they blackout your home team so you go to the stadium

RPi Awesomeness

IKR :P

Rinzwind

@jokerdino yeah. Portugal has 1 thing in their favor... the other 2 teams are not going to win anything so they will end up 2nd in the group. Spain on the other hand.... I do not see them win against chili with 100% certainty. and if they tie they are out on goal difference :D

jokerdino

18:26

Hey, Portugal had the referee in their favour. Two crucial interceptions.

RPi Awesomeness

I really wish Soccer was a more popular sport (publicly anyways, at the professional level) in the US :(

jokerdino

@Rinzwind Aw come on. US can score a goal or two.

RPi Awesomeness

That and Rugby. I think I would almost trade the NFL for more broadcast Soccer/Rugby games

jokerdino

And with Pepe's red card and Fabio's groin, it might be possible.

RPi Awesomeness

Go US of A!

Rinzwind

18:28

@jokerdino I hope so. if the US take points from portugal they might go out too

but I doubt it

jokerdino

I am betting on Altidore scoring more goals than Ronaldo.

RPi Awesomeness

And I have no clue who you are talking about :P

jokerdino

Altidore is US' striker. Ronaldo is Portugal.

Rinzwind

@RPiAwesomeness Altidore: american player ;-)

he plays in Holland (or used to?) :-)

jokerdino

Used to. He's in EPL now.

RPi Awesomeness

18:32

I judged that it was a player name, beyond that I didn't know anything

I wish I had cable :P

Rinzwind

and this is the BEST worldcup ever. and I started watching in 1978 :D

jokerdino

And Ghana is not a team to be taken lightly. Didn't they almost scare Uruguay out of the WC last time?

@Rinzwind Definitely worth staying up the night to watch 'em

Rinzwind

yeah I took 3 weeks of from work for this and I betted correctly

got me a ps4 y-day for the rest of the holidays

ok back to ontopic >:-D anyone got a problem we can fix?

Takkat

my new Ubuntu box is obsessed.

won't fix

RPi Awesomeness

that sounds GREAT!

Playing PC re-creation of Settlers of Catan ... not terrible so far...

Journeyman Geek

18:46

obsessed or possessed?

Takkat

both I am afraid... ever since I installed the OS my kids won't let me go at it again.

so it's now being filled up with weird kid's stuff.

but apparently it was worth it. They told me y-day that I was the best dad in the world because the new computer had not crashed a single time ever since.

RPi Awesomeness

Yay! Ubuntu FTW!

jokerdino

@Takkat Go best dad!

Takkat

I should SSH in to the box to poweroff :P

RPi Awesomeness

Weird Kid's stuff...exactly how old are your kids

@Takkat lol, much troll

Takkat

18:58

9+11

that's when stuff is still weird.

RPi Awesomeness

Ah. What sort of weird stuff

I would have to agree.

Takkat

1 Quadrizillion Minecraft mods e.g.

<-- is a bit scared that the box really did not yet crash

RPi Awesomeness

lol. They have Mods on Ubuntu? How?

WINE?

Takkat

It's the Minecraft game's mods... not Ubuntu mods.

They are all the same.

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah, I know. How are they launching the MC mods?

Takkat

19:02

They installed the forge loader to copy the .zip into the .minecraft/mods directory.

I showed them some time ago.

Now they do it all by themself.

A wait - now they need .jar mods I recall.

RPi Awesomeness

There's a Linux version of Forge?

Takkat

It's all java so it will just run.

0 issues.

RPi Awesomeness

I guess that makes sense...I just have to research some more. :P

Takkat

Only keep away from .exe installers.

They are no fun whatsoever on a box where you also run Wine :)

RPi Awesomeness

I reckon

Takkat

19:05

My kids now know this: exe files are evil

13

oh - and all video tutorials show weird desktops with weird files in weird directories too.

RPi Awesomeness

:D They have been converted from the dark side of computing! .jars & .debs forever!

Takkat

They never had the chance to touch Windows (except when at their friend's homes).

RPi Awesomeness

@Takkat What a good father!

I hate AdFly

Takkat

the best

RPi Awesomeness

Requires cookies :P

Takkat

19:07

AdFly is a pain, indeed.

it never shows an ad here, so it makes no sense at all.

RPi Awesomeness

Adblock?

Takkat

may be (but I can't recall I actively installed it).

I may have.

Seth

I use Ghostery.

ooh, voting time in the U&L election

RPi Awesomeness

@Takkat Now I remember why I had to use Windows, whenever I launch the universal .jar I get this crap

We appear to be missing one or more essential library files.
You will need to add them to your server before FML and Forge will run successfully.java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch
	at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366)

	at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:354)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:425)

Takkat

@RPiAwesomeness that's a long list... I think we did not have that here.

Seth

19:14

Take that back. Voting in 1 hour.

Silly time shift.

RPi Awesomeness

lol

To Stack Overflow I go!

Actually, would asking about that error fit better on AU?

Oli

@RPiAwesomeness Yeah that's not really about programming (if you're just trying to run a jar)

RPi Awesomeness

kk

Oli

Or is it about programming? I'm coming into this just seeing that error. What's the background?

Oh, Minecraft. I'd put money on a Q/A existing on that already

RPi Awesomeness

Probably. I'm googling it now

@Oli Actually, not really for this specific error

Takkat

19:33

ouch - present upgrade wants to remove AIC94xx firmware from the kernel... because it's not redistributable. Hope it does not break anything.

Seth

20:04

The Unix & Linux election is live!

RPi Awesomeness

@Takkat Yay! I ran the installer and it's working!

Seth

\o/

RPi Awesomeness

\o/

Takkat

\o/

RPi Awesomeness

Party!

\o/

Anyone else wanna join?

Downloading Optifine Light now :) Let's hope it works!

hbdgaf

20:22

On the minecraft install problem, didn't LazyPower write a charm for that?

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf I'm trying to get MC Forge working. I have vanilla MC working just fine

hbdgaf

You probably need to tweak your classpath or something...

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah. I actually have it installed. Just trying to get it to work now

Takkat

... here it was only just running the Forge installer ,jar - it was self-installing to ~/.minecraft

RPi Awesomeness

yeah. I was messing with the universal jar. I ran the installer and it's good

However, I think forge isn't letting Minecraft load for whatever reason...

Takkat

20:28

/party

MC/Forge version is critical.

they have to match.

RPi Awesomeness

I know.

Takkat

another issue we had was that other modloaders block Forge and vice versa.

RPi Awesomeness

I did try using Magic loader once...wonder if that's causing an issue...

Takkat

one never knows - my boy installed another modloader some time ago which we had to remove for Forge. (but I can't recall what this was)

RPi Awesomeness

Well...1.7.2 pulled up.

Takkat

20:34

I think it was in 1.7.2 when you needed .jar mods instead of .zip mods.

RPi Awesomeness

Sweet! NEI is working at least...

Whatever it is, it's working now ;)

anyways. I g2g. \o

Takkat

have fun o/

Rinzwind

hey takkat

iran nigeria is boring :P

Takkat

@Rinzwind grub-reboot FTW

Rinzwind

yeah

Takkat

20:39

I did not watch it.

Rinzwind

had no stamina to search for a dupe :=)

Takkat

I found it because I know who answered it ;P

A: Why does my custom shortcut reappear unexpectedly?

You can't do it well because your idea is wrong. You don't have to create a new short-cut or assign it or nothing (even when it could work), you must change your default terminal. To set x-terminal-emulator as your default terminal, so it will open when you enter Ctrl+Alt+T, you must open the ...

Nice, tzdata has been updated

Lucio

I can't remember the difference between Full and Link clone on VM

Hi mateo

Mateo

hi bro!

Lucio

I was going to mention that, but prefer not to :D

when will you come back home? :P

Mateo

looked interesting, I think this open platform thing could be good.

Lucio

I don't know very much about the game industry

Mateo

23:07

@Lucio I drove off into the sunset never to come back ;P

although I looks like the size of the Game Gear...

can't imagine it having a battery life that will last.

Lucio

it is big in my opinion

@Takkat happy father days!

Mateo

hm, yeah way bigger than a game gear...

Lucio

what means packages that had been kept back?

Q: "The following packages have been kept back:" Why and how do I solve it?

I just added a PPA repository for the development version of the GIMP, but I get this error The following packages have been kept back: gimp gimp-data libgegl-0.0-0 libgimp2.0 Why and how can I solve it so that I can use the latest version in stead of the one I have now?

Sorry guys, but that hard it is.
