14.04.1 is LTS, and quite stable actually.
@Takkat Yeah. (They wouldn't be offering it to me if it wasn't LTS, would they?)
I'll take it, but not today. Need to work today.
don't forget to backup... (I always did that before an upgrade) ;)
@Takkat: one cable per bedroom would make sense to me
but my parents arn't geeks so...
@TRiG: advantage with an update is if your documentation is decent, you can get rid of all the mistakes you made in the past ;p
(and I don't run a common setup, and most of my ubuntu/ubuntu migrations were painless)
11:20
@TRiG I do.
@TRiG tsk! still using tasksel? Easier-> sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
@Rinzwind This is better because?
@TRiG saves you installing tasksel :=)
the lesser bits needed to do the same the better :=)
What does the caret achieve?
it tells apt-get to check the tasks list for what to install.
oh and DUPE!
15
Q: What's the caret (^) mean in apt-get?

mlissnerI'm seeing various instructions that request that you install something like: apt-get install lamp-server^ With the oddball caret in the command. This isn't anything I know from bash, and it doesn't seem to be mentioned in apt-get manual. What's the deal ?

@Rinzwind Handy. I'll do it that way in future.
11:26
There is a command to list all the tasks too :P But can't find it atm.
I take it you're a UU drop-out?
Rincewind the Wizzard, BMgc, (UU), [Failed]
ah yes
@TRiG: he also has tenure tho
and lots of coal
11:28
and a Luggage
@JourneymanGeek Ah yes. Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography, among other things.

Q: New users cant SSH into server

user53029I have Ubuntu 14.04 running an SSH server using RSA keys for auth. My original account can SSH into the server no problem. (I use Putty). We'll call it user A. However I just setup user B and user C and added them to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file as authorized users yet when I try to auth with th...

@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L I do not see a problem. New users should not be able to SSH into a server :=)
3
I only accept old users :D
@AmithKK yo! How is life on the side where there is not a factory burning down to a crisp
@Rinzwind Hey :D
Long time no chat xP
I dont chat :=)
I am working
Life's good. I wish I could say the same about my marks xD
12:12
@Rinzwind Love it. It's either a config that isn't refreshed, the server not having the pub-key, or a client that doesn't support key auth only uname/pwd auth.
@hbdgaf those are THE 3 yes :D
want to give the comment a tick to get someone to expound on all three? unix.stackexchange.com/questions/154790/…
still feeling the vv though... so no answering for me just yet
jrg
jrg
12:47
@Whaaaaaat So, I printed that sheet off and gave it to my (now old) boss. He realized that this really is all I do, so he started doing that. My life was changed forever, because I could actually get stuff done!
@jrg I love that one too

what is "closed as too localized"? can't find any 'localized' term at Help center! or it is related to "too broad"? or it is any moderation tool to close as " too localized"? Because I found question which is closed as "too localized".
Is it renamed with "unclear what you are asking" or included in "off-topic"?
44
Q: What questions should be closed with reason "too localized"?

Dana the SaneWhat is the definition of "too localized" for closing a question? I see several suggestions, but nothing definitive or specific.

:)
@Rinzwind who can close question as "too localized"?
jrg
jrg
14:16
@Pandya any 5 users can
or 1 moderator
@Pandya that reason is no more
jrg
jrg
wat. when did they drop that?
/me has been gone for like, 2 months.
more than a year
@Braiam oh! now I understand why this option is not available for close-voters @jrg.
jrg
jrg
Oh, right. When they added the custom ones.
We just added our own "Basically too localized" to the mix.

@Pandya I can \o/
I get shivers when I read this:

Q: How to install a printer&scanner Canon MP630

momaAs a newcomer to Ubuntu (version 14.04 LTS) and not being a computer expert I try to connect my printer/scanner Canon Pixma MP630. I added it in system settings Printer and now I can print from the computer but do not get info e.g. for ink status, and I cannot scan to the computer. I have not fou...

Karmic... really?
jrg
jrg
ewwwww.
i didn't know you could still get packages from karmic
remove all PPA binaries for EOL releases
mm... who I can poke to put that forward...
1st name is Mark >:-D
nah, he gets too many rants he will think I'm one of those too
Might file it as a bug on launchpad? :D
14:48
Who downvoted the Cannon question? It's a perfectly good and clear question written by someone who's really trying.
Damn but people can be vindictive... Nothing wrong with being a newbie.
@terdon it wasn't me!
I do not like getting downvoted so I do not downvote (a lot :+) )
there I made it +1
@Rinzwind Oh, I was pretty sure it was note of the people in this chat. I doubt the regulars would be so petty. It just bugs me 'cause that's a good question. She clearly explained what the problem is and what she tried. Not her fault she's not knowledgeable enough to figure it out.\
agreed :=)
15:22
@Braiam, can you explain the difference between cuál and quién as interrogative words? I think cuál is used for inanimate objects (¿cuáles llaves?) and quién for people (¿quiénes son ellas?).
anybody have a clue what this guy is talking about? askubuntu.com/questions/522401/como-usar-o-ubunto-para-dj
@fossfreedom Apparently he is trying to install some DJ software..
that's about it.
15:37
I would close as unclear. Don't know what software he is talking about, and it isn't clear if he already has it installed and is looking for some kind of tips (???) or needs help installing it.
traktor DJ is a ubuntu software for DJ. I think he wants to know if anyone installed drive pioneer CDJ (Windows software?) in Ubuntu.

16:46
@Mateo, @fossfreedom I have another MIDI device that is detected by lsusb and appears in dmesg | tail.
I am reading the post that @Mateo recommended and I am at the first diagram that shows the connections.
17:04
@Mateo, @fossfreedom However I cannot understand how to set the things...
17:53
@IonicăBizău are you there?
@Lucio Yes! :-)
Found an interesting page: tedfelix.com/linux/linux-midi.html
cool!
how are you?
Hi! :-)
I'm fine. I'm trying to set up some things for recording.
oh, that one is special for your keyboard
I would really like to have a MIDI device working
17:55
heh, me too
mine is too much old to have it
Do you know how to record MIDI?
I tried a lot of times and failed every time.
with a computer? nop
yeah, me too
I tried with special devices for guitar but no luck neither
it is too much tricky, and compatibility is hard
The page that I linked may solve the problem...
And you? How are you?
hopefully. It has a lot of info
/me fine
dealing with git
hey you may help me! :-)
Sure! :-)
17:58
I want to have a "freezed" file on the repository
What do you mean by freezed?
I always used .gitignore to untrack it any change
I mean, it must exist on the repo, but any new change should not be tracked
Simple: delete it from gitignore, commit it, delete it from gitignore
double delete it?
What do you mean by double delete?
18:01
like you said: delete it from gitignore, ..., delete it from gitignore
I think that third step is add it :S
Exactly :-) Thanks
delete, commit, add
right! That is what I always did, but for some reason it is Just Not Working(c)
But anytime if you will delete the gitignore file cache, it will be deleted.
Let's try together.
yeah, I did that too
18:03
I fucked up a whole repo last night trying all the stuff
I'm out of twitter on the phone :(
Oh gosh
I will commit my changes here: github.com/IonicaBizau/test
ok
Dan
Dan
you can add ignored files with gitignore by using git add --force <ignored_file>
Ah, I will check that command
Dan
Dan
sorry it's force not fore lol
18:05
heh
wait, why would I use that (in this case)

Q: disable mouse and keyboard on Ubuntu 14.04

stoqltTo my 'slideshow' computer (it, and a big TV screen are located in a public room, ), I use only ssh access. I'd like to disable generally (not X only) all of the USB slots, and the PS2 keyboard/mouse slots as well (to prevent myself from jokes). Using the configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/blackl...

I am watching it
Dan
Dan
but either way, adding files to git will track them, even if they were in gitignore
now you have no way to add a file (or directory) called "freezed-file"
18:07
Exactly
And it's ignored
the next to do is:
Ah, I see! :D
1. comment the line
2. add the file (now that it is not ignored)
3. uncomment the line
and then, the file should not be able to track any new modification!
a win \o/
unless....
> Will this be added in repository?
yeap
Let's vote up this answer:
11
A: Is there a way to "freeze" a file in Git?

Greg HewgillYou can do this with Git's sparse checkout feature. Run the following commands in a repo where you want a special, untracked local.txt file: git config core.sparsecheckout true echo '*' >.git/info/sparse-checkout echo '!local.txt' >>.git/info/sparse-checkout git read-tree --reset -u HEAD This ...

for sure :P
@IonicăBizău :O
18:11
@Lucio It works, right? :-)
absolutely!
Dan
Dan
but that would only apply the "fix" locally right? if someone else pulls the repo, git will keep tracking the file
oh that is true
@Dan Maybe a configuration template file?
Dan
Dan
what is that file anyway? is it a configuration file?
@IonicăBizău exactly what i was gonna suggest
18:14
I don't see any other use cases...
I was using to ignore configuration file and keep config.templ.json or so in repository.
yeah, that is the cleanest approach
at least now it has recovered back sense the gitignore file for me :P
thank you @IonicăBizău!
Always! :-)
(I need to ping you because I don't have your name on my keyboard :P)
18:17
BTW, I met someone from GitHub! :D
yeah, I read that
When you finish setingup that MIDI config, I would like to listen some clean sounds :-)

Q: Reviewing added information - does accuracy mater

Marty FriedI sometimes get edits to review where the person making the edit has added in some details or sources missing from the original answer (or question, sometimes). But it may be about a subject that I know nothing about, so I have no idea whether the added information is accurate. Is it up to me t...

I would really like to have it working, but I think that not today is that day...
18:21
don't worry, you find a great source there. Later will be working
I hope so...
do you like to use gmaps?
/me switching context in seconds
Google Maps?
yep
18:23
I was not talking about dev anyway
gmaps has a bug on my machine
it does works on my phone
I found a license car number there
but the report system doesn't work on my phone xD
What's the bug?
blind when using street-view
so the thing is, does it works on your computer?
now, would you like to wast a couple of minutes to help a dude on Belgium?
Yes, sure

Q: How to create a fingerprint of the hardware from a dedicated root server?

RicardaRecently our ubuntu root server has been replaced after some failures. Unfortunatelly we cannot confirm if it really has been replaced or just some parts. What is the best and most thorough way to get as much information of a system as possible? I'm thinking of serial numbers, chip types, ... W...

do you see the red van?
user116848
Can any of you tell me if there is some good alternative for cc cleaner software?
18:32
@IonicăBizău perfect, now you can make the report
@Arrowfar O_O
3
@Arrowfar isn't that a Windows "crap cleaner" soft?
@Lucio What do you mean by red van?
the big red car
user116848
@Takkat Yes it is for Windows :-)
that is parked
@Arrowfar there you go
user116848
18:34
@Lucio Thanks, this is for Windows, right?
@IonicăBizău delete it ¬¬
@Arrowfar we proabably don't suffer so much from these things here, but as Lucio said BleachBit is great.
@Lucio What's the problem? :-)
user116848
I see
is it your car license?
18:36
@Lucio It's something public since it's on Google Maps. :D
Is this your car?
right
that is why the report
I gave you the coords because I trust you and thought that would do the right thing. Nothing else..
now it is opt to you to do or not the report
How to report?
let me see on my phone..
there is a "Report Image" button
I guess you have it there too
@Lucio Done :-)
Thanks a lot!
I appreciate it :)
18:41
...forgive me that I posted it here..
You're young, no problem ;)
Hey, I found a lot of great music listening international radios!
plenty of never-heard songs
now I don't have the app on my phone anymore :(
At least it worthed while it worked
gotta go
@IonicăBizău luck with the MIDI thing!
see you next time :)
18:57
@IonicăBizău maybe gladish?
oh, he mentions "patchage" in that post, wonder if that is any better
I looks like either will work - so each box is a program or a input/output, and you have to run the "cable" between them like guitar effects pedals
and once you open qsynth:
need to manually hook up your midi to the synth

@blade19899 That makes it pretty much useless for me then.
