@RPiAwesomeness snappy is cool, just remember to set the system time if it gives you problems an try the webdm for sure

And then try "os.js"

Sup.

hbdgaf

@NathanOsman Hah that should be fun. Interesting days.

RPi Awesomeness

My normal response to that would be "The sky and gas prices," but gas prices have dropped. So that doesn't work anymore. Now it's the just "The sky" and that's boring.

Mateo

Hi

Nathan Osman

00:13

I've used apt-get source to get the source to the schroot package and I'm currently building it.

Then I should be able to install that package and use sbuild again.

@Mateo Hi.

hbdgaf

@RPiAwesomeness Prices at the pump here have already rebounded. Are you US? I don't remember...

Mateo

@RPiAwesomeness the ceiling when inside

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf Yeah. It's still lower than it was a while back, still under $3

hbdgaf

Well lower than expected a year ago, but already on the rebound.

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah :P

Mateo

He is up in the woods so a bit protected from some of the price swings

hbdgaf

May answer at work used to be as a joke bloodpressure... then it started actually happening, so I felt the joke was inappropriate ;)

RPi Awesomeness

lol

Nathan Osman

We pay by the liter up here, so it's hard to compare.

hbdgaf

@Mateo We used to have a not up in the woods individually owned gas station that just sold the tanks to "empty" - meaning minimum fill point. You can't sell a gas tank to empty. Then adjusted a price on a total fill. Made his money on hot dogs and cigarettes, but it was an honest business and cornered the market on smart people in the small town where I lived.

RPi Awesomeness

Heh...Canadians.

Nathan Osman

Wolfram to the rescue!

$3.85 a gallon, apparently.

hbdgaf

I would tend to expect without checking that higher taxed gasoline markets would respond more slowly to price swings than corporations operating on smaller margins of pure profit.

TheX

how do lenses work on Unity?

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman Not bad. We've got it for, last I saw, $3.45. But that was ~1 1/2 days ago...

Nathan Osman

You mean we're pretty close to being even?

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman Yeah, about

hbdgaf

00:20

@NathanOsman Yep. I would think that yours didn't dip as hard when prices are down though... like a more stable price.

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman We'd probably be almost exactly even if you adjusted that for CAD to USD.

Nathan Osman

I did.

RPi Awesomeness

Ah

TheX

@RPiAwesomeness can you log onto the minecraft server and report back to me about possible lag?

@RPiAwesomeness if you get a chance

RPi Awesomeness

There is a faint, low whining noise coming from my desktop and I dislike it.

@TheX Sure...

hbdgaf

00:25

At least it wasn't a crash/bang or a capacitor popping/exploding.

Mateo

Got my system76 T-shirt in

hbdgaf

Are you sporting it tomorrow?

I always do that when I get a tshirt. Wear it either immediately or the next day.

Mateo

Well, wearing it right now...

So, maybe tomorrow too

hbdgaf

Commonality achieved.

RPi Awesomeness

@Mateo Whoa. Dat T-shirt

Mateo

00:38

It is an interesting set of things we have in common...

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf yes.

Mateo

The text reads "unleash your potential"

hbdgaf

working on it buddy, working on it. got my tax documents from a couple years ago in chicago, so my forced savings plan is about to get cashed in. then there's whether or not i leave the daily grind or try and solve the problem in my off hours. so my mental problem is getting harder, but i'm closer to a goalpost if i don't screw it up.

haven't decided on whether i should really bet on myself or try to find someone to bet on me yet.

RPi Awesomeness

@TheX I got on, not noticeable lag. Granted, I was mining...

Nathan Osman

I can't wait to overclock my Pi when the heatsinks arrive.

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman Just make sure you use the Pi 2 setting, not any of the others!

Nathan Osman

It's still very slow at compiling code with GCC. I'm genuinely curious as to how much faster Clang/LLVM would be.

Mateo

I'm looking for mineral oil for mine, have a little fish tank I'm going to drop it in

RPi Awesomeness

@Mateo Mineral Oil-cooled Pi 2? Wat...

Mateo

Yeah, mineral oil dosnt conduct electricity

RPi Awesomeness

01:06

I know, it's certainly is an unusual approach.

Won't it get in the ports though?

I mean, usually mineral oil-cooled PCs have the ports outside the mineral oil. That way you don't contaminate the oil with stuff like metal, human oil & stuff.

Mateo

Well... I'll connect stuff first, then drop it in

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah.

Mateo

Get it all how I want first, otherwise that will be fun...

RPi Awesomeness

Ouch. GBP to USD is not a friendly conversion >.<

Mateo

Ah, not too bad right now

Wow, nice

Nathan Osman

Wow, there's nothing quite like an accidental Ctrl+C in a long running task.

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman >.< ikr

Nathan Osman

At least this time around, I can pass the -j4 flag to debuild that I forgot last time.

RPi Awesomeness

Or, when you're in the middle of a Youtube video/important form in Firefox and you accidentally press Ctrl+Q instead of Ctrl+W :P

Nathan Osman

01:18

...and have it use all four cores.

RPi Awesomeness

That'll help a lot

Nathan Osman

Hm... maybe that -j4 thing wasn't such a good idea. The Pi just locked up and the disk LED is saturated.

RPi Awesomeness

Uh oh

Nathan Osman

I forget that the memory requirement becomes 4x when you do it that way.

RPi Awesomeness

Yeaaah...

Nathan Osman

01:22

Ctrl+C and try again without the flag :|

I wonder if swap would make any difference. The microSD card is probably too slow.

@ByteCommander I meant adding this to any of the __init__.py file in one of the already included paths:

import imp
mod = imp.find_module('deb822', ['path/where/the/module/islocated'])
deb822 = imp.load_module('deb822', *mod)
mod[0].close()

maybe wrap in a try catch block

python basically calls the init files at loading time of modules, so this file will be called, and it will load that module. Other thing you can do is add the path to the sys at load time:

import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/dist-packages')

(just put this in any __init__.py again...)

but as @NathanOsman said this will be pure evil hack. Nonetheless, it will work fine.

Oh, I read more of your problem from the transcript. Do you happen to have somehow inserted any kind of malware in your PC? An application meddling with python system paths ~_~... is not good.

just use the hack and re-install later.

Just going to redo my laptop , adding an SSD and want to run Gnome 3.16

I was shocked to hear that the UbuntuGnome guys dropped the ball with doing a feature freeze before getting Gnome 3.16 into 15.04

Which means I'd have to go the PPA rout on top of either the current LTS or the 15.04 beta or 14.10

not sure which version of Ubuntu the PPA works best on I guess

Or drop the Ubuntu back end all together O_o

Would love to switch to arch except I have no time right now to learn something so out side of my current work flow

Looks like it can be installed through gnome3staging repos

Just need to figure out the back end from here

@sabbir that your question?

@Mateo I guess that is an advantage to fedora , arch and opensuse

Mateo

@JoshuaRobison Nah, not an advantage

Joshua Robison

im currently running lxqt but there is no where to get support

no way to talk to any community . irc is dead.

Mateo

08:00

A) you wouldn't want them to release without testing the new version B) if they waited it would skip every other release and not have a stable

And fedora is bleeding edge

@JoshuaRobison lxqt is cool

Joshua Robison

@mateo

yes , actually as an advanced user, I want to get it and test it

fossfreedom

@JoshuaRobison mark tried to align the schedules between gnome and ubuntu a few years ago. Each didnt want to move - hence this is the issue that Ubuntu can never incorporate the latest-latest gnome version.

Joshua Robison

That is the whole point of having an unstable/beta/testing branch

sabbir

@Mateo, I also try with sudo -s without command

but no result

Mateo

08:06

@JoshuaRobison ah, well. I suppose that is because it is still in development

I've never used it to be honest.

Just looks nice?

jrg

mewbies.com/…

i tweaked my settings to put the screen to sleep as soon as it could

2 minutes and no mouse, fade monitor to black

the entire concept behind a "screensaver" was to prevent CRT burnin

Screen burn-in

Screen burn-in, image burn-in or ghost image, colloquially known as screen burn, is a permanent discoloration of areas on an electronic display such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) display or computer display monitor or television set caused by cumulative non-uniform usage of the pixels. == Causes of screen burn == With phosphor-based electronic displays (for example CRT-type computer monitors or plasma displays), non-uniform use of pixels, such as prolonged display of non-moving images (text or graphics), gaming, or certain broadcasts with tickers and flags, can create a permanent ghost-like image...

ByteCommander

I have XMatrix saver because it looks nice. On the one with better gfx-card I use Fireworkx. I know it has no purpose anymore, but it just looks nice! :-)

Nathan Osman

@jrg Yes, I remember that.

ByteCommander

But that guy just wants a burning animation as screensaver, which XFlame does. He (and I) just can't set the background bitmap... And I have no idea where/how to find out about that :P

Nathan Osman

18:37

That's still a problem with AMOLED displays.

(Burn-in, that is.)

jrg

True.

Nathan Osman

Though, to a far lesser extent.

(My Nexus 6 has an AMOLED display.)

jrg

The IPS display on the Nexus 4 could have burn-in

Nathan Osman

Nexus 5 also had an IPS display.

jrg

So you're trying to debug xscreensaver to change the bitmap?

ByteCommander

18:40

Me? No. There is a -bitmap command line option.

But it just gives errors!

I'll copy its manual entry...

linux.die.net/man/1/xflame

> -bitmap filename
Specifies the bitmap file to use (a monochrome XBM file.) The name "none" means not to use a bitmap at all. If unspecified, a built-in image will be used.

And no matter what size of bitmap I give it, it always tells that the window has "AxB" pixels size, so the image may only have "CxD" pixels in size. AxB is the size of the bitmap argument, while C=A/2 and D=B/2. Always.

I tried BMPs, XBMs, grayscale BMP,... nothing.

The best is to view the added screen-sho, in the attachmentst, and my proposed 'fix'. alternatively one can view: https://i.sstatic.net/dYUcG.png ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: unity 7.2.4+14.04.20141217-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-33.44~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt7 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-33-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is een map: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.113 Mon Dec 1 21:08:13 PST 2014 GCC version: gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.8 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Dat…

@blade19899 o.O I don't like that. Why would you separate it entirely?

oh wait.

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness Huh? Separate?

RPi Awesomeness

The picture makes it look almost like you've got the current player on top and then have all the rest separated with the background showing through in between.

@RPiAwesomeness I'll edit the image to make it more clear!

RPi Awesomeness

This is what I would have done:

I do like the idea though

I personally think it looks very nice, once I had figured out what it was meant to be :)

Oh wait. Sry.

Q: Disable login screen on Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet)

In 15.04 Vivid Vervet, how do I disable the login screen so that it drops me into a console right off the bat? Back on 14.04, I did this by uninstalling lightdm, but when I tried that on 15.04, the system then wouldn't boot. :( If you're wondering why I'm on 15.04, I bought a new Thinkpad X250 a...

ubuntu lightdm

RPi Awesomeness

This is how I would do it:

I think that's more clear about how you're proposing it works.

@blade19899 Obviously, you'd want to re-do it yourself, since I was copy-pasting parts around and it looks weird, but do you get the idea I'm going for?

Mateo

Nice

I would be pleased with at least the large buttons going away on the inactive players, an a way to add remove items as shortcuts

RPi Awesomeness

Wooo...'nother sub!

@Mateo Yeah, even that would be good.

RPi Awesomeness

I really like the sound menu, it's an awesome idea and super useful, but it does end up taking up a crap ton of space.

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness Should have pinged me earlier

Just finished re-editing

Mateo

Then you would only get the one playing, another actively paused, then any small bars you want for quick access

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 lol, sry :)

blade19899

RPi Awesomeness

19:41

That would work too

@blade19899 I actually like @Mateo's suggestion better. I think the icons on your idea might be a tad small. Maybe grow them or change it so it looks similar to what @Mateo suggested.

Mateo

Oh, chrome on android got pull down to refresh!

Guess what I put in a review awhile back...

Seth

@Mateo it drives me crazy.

Mateo

Oh, well. Blame me, because I love it and dropped it in the suggestion box ;)

Seth

haha

blade19899

@Mateo To remove players you need to tweak it now, but, it would be nice to have that as a feature in the sound settings tab.

RPi Awesomeness

19:45

@blade19899 I actually tried that in 14.04, and the blacklisted players don't seem to be actually blacklisted :P

blade19899

Larger icons is for the developers to decide.

@RPiAwesomeness Huh? never tried to blacklist players myself.

Mateo

Yeah, maybe a right click, or swiping inactive or pining active players?

Nathan Osman

This makes no sense whatsoever - even after mucking around in Qt's headers and MOC-generated files.

blade19899

I know you can remove VLC from there.

RPi Awesomeness

I'm leaving at 5 AM tomorrow morning, driving for 12-14 hrs, the walking around in wool for 3-4 days shooting black powder guns off, sleeping in a tent, and marching, then driving home again 12-14 hrs. yeah Civil War reenacting!

blade19899

19:47

@RPiAwesomeness HA! HA! Have fun! If you can.

Mateo

OK, going to get my laptop and join the gimp fun

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 Dude. I get to shoot off black powder and sleep in a tent around a camp fire ... OF COURSE IT'S FUN :D

@blade19899 o.O You did that?

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness ... Yes.... No.

I suck at image editing

Well, I'm basic at it.

Just duckduckgo Dragon Warrior HD wallpaper

And saw that.

RPi Awesomeness

Ah. Cool :)

blade19899

RPi Awesomeness

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness amazon.co.uk/Dragon-Saiyan-Scouter-Sound-Cards/dp/…

That looks way cooler ^

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 Gosh man. Put a frickin NSFW warning on that link ... all the manga ladies in skimpy tight outfits.

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness Whut?

Its a scouter from DBZ?

There are no such ladies in that link? :D

RPi Awesomeness

@blade19899 The dragon one

Personally, I think it looks like cheap plastic, but that's just my opinion

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness Still can't see them ladies? Huh?

@RPiAwesomeness It is fake. Of course its plastic!
