ah ok
Man, this guy is using some real slow dial up connection modem with WiFi support.
It takes 2 minutes to finish my apt-get update.
I think you shouldn't be on someone else's wifi whistles
:)
I did the same when I came back for vacations last year. He is yet to encrypt his WiFi.
@StefanoPalazzo I was open, until some idiot screw'd it with p0rn
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino he uses windows, right?
(your neighbor)
17:03
go over and tell him to lock it down then :)
Free Internet but excruciatingly slow Internet.
And suprisingly enough, most WiFi's in india are open
@jrg Most probably yeah.
That too Windows XP pirated.
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino yeah, go over and tell him to lock it down
We people only use Windows pirated.
17:04
ALRIGHT, now the network SLIC hack!
jrg
jrg
UGH. two words that should never go together: windows XP and pirated.
@jrg I don't want to sacrifice my free network access.
@jokerdino Install ubuntu(on your neighbour computer)
jrg
jrg
you suck. :P
trigger his computer into a remote netboot with Ubuntu. :P
@AmithKK I don't have ubuntu 32-bit cd.
17:06
@jrg PXE chainload?
The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE, also known as Pre-Execution Environment; sometimes pronounced "pixie") is an environment to boot computers using a network interface independently of data storage devices (like hard disks) or installed operating systems. PXE was introduced as part of the Wired for Management framework by Intel and is described in the specification (version 2.1) published by Intel and Systemsoft on September 20, 1999. It makes use of several network protocols like Internet Protocol (IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Tri...
jrg
jrg
sorta, kinda
And apparently one of my other neighbor also uses this WiFi.
@jrg How else?
Night guys
BBT
Guys, thanks a lot. That dude probably noticed that his network speed went abnormally slow and restarted his modem.
No network for a few minutes
Like from 10 kb/s to 2 kb/s
RAWR.
Stop streaming Youtube videos!!!
17:33
Can you answer this? Intel GMA 950 missing driver for an EEE PC 1008HA http://askubuntu.com/questions/70643/intel-gma-950-missing-driver-for-an-eee-pc-1008ha #intelgraphics
@StefanoPalazzo turns out you're just in "luck" because that's what I've been writing a lot of recently :D
ello
Oh @StefanoPalazzo is here! Hai. :)
great @RolandTaylor \o/
17:48
Stefano, what is the status of the new VC version? :)
Or whatever name you decided to pick. :P
I will post clips of some pretty interesting stuff today :)
after... posting something else :P
@OctavianDamiean I've been embarrassingly distracted these last couple of weeks :\
but there isn't much left to be done, so that's good. phew :)
Oh nice. Something interesting to read while you finish VC2 :D
@OctavianDamiean I saw you ducked out of the moderator election
17:51
:(
The real chance to proceed to the election phase was shrinking so there was just no point to keep it on.
I mean come on. Anna Lear, Brad Larson, Jeremy Banks and George Stocker. Those are really good candidates.
I have voted for all four of them myself.
But it was nice to see how much support I got. I was on rank 13 for quite some time and a delta of 108 votes is not bad.
I was trying to vote but it seems I don't have enough rep
or something
You need at least 150 rep.
hmm
I don't remember how much I have, but it's not much :P
You have 101. :)
18:00
ah yes
@OctavianDamiean good luck next time, it will better!
the new user page is, ..., nice!

Q: How to toggle between Tree View and Places in Nautilus?

Rafael LimaI want to know if there's a hotkey in Nautilus to toggle between Tree View and Places. I googled around but I haven't found any solution... If there isn't such a hotkey, is it possible to suggest Nautilus' developers to implement this in future versions? I really like the "Places" feature, but in...

dupe
@BrunoPereira There will probably not be a next time for me on SO.
@brunopereira81 they seem to be different
I'm not sure what "hotkey in Nautilus to toggle between Tree View and Places" means
18:10
@StefanoPalazzo so I should just post my answer there?
@BrunoPereira maybe. the user is looking for a keyboard shortcut though
it would defenitely be helpful, even if it doesn't completely answer the question. so why not :)
do you need to restart nautilus afterwards?
jrg
jrg
Anyone have AIM? I'd like to play with the new new AIM a little bit, just to see how bad a product AOL delivered.
@StefanoPalazzo no you can even have nautilus open it will toggle instant
@OctavianDamiean sorry to heard that man :(
@BrunoPereira huh. then maybe they could get a keyboard shortcut by just having a short script
first check if nautilus is in focus, and - if so - swap the value
@StefanoPalazzo idd, working on it
@StefanoPalazzo no need, it works with nautilus open
jrg
jrg
@OctavianDamiean sorry to hear you lost, but at the same time, you rock.
I don't really think I lost. I mean now I know that I have quite a lot of supporters which means that I'm not a total moron. :D
jrg
jrg
Heh, true.
I didn't expect anything better from you AOL.
18:27
took a second to realise what AOL means there...
jrg
jrg
lol
(I take it you were talking about the german football tier?)
I completely missed this SOPA thing. that's pretty shocking
:O
jrg
jrg
Oh yeah. SOPA is going to ruin the US, and then (slowly but surely) the rest of the world.
Which SOAP thing?
@jrg I thought you were talking about Octavian: "I didn't expect any better from you, as of late"
jrg
jrg
18:29
@StefanoPalazzo ah. XD
@OctavianDamiean americancensorship.org
@OctavianDamiean a proposed bill to make it easier for america to seize domain names, that's as far as I got with my analysis (:
jrg
jrg
Not just domain names.
i smell internet wars!
jrg
jrg
Lets say someone unknowingly uploads a copyrighted picture to Ask Ubuntu.
is in your ZS Crypto repository looking at your codez @StefanoPalazzo
18:32
german site "netzpolitik.org" says "[...]usa are trying to expand their own law to the rest of the world[...]"
jrg
jrg
the US gov will be able to say "Stack Exchange, Inc, we are charging you with copyright and trademark infringement"
and then SE gets shutdown.
oh my word
we've had a very similar thing here
jrg
jrg
or, a twitter user uploads child porn. Yes, that is illegal, but currently, twitter would shut down the account, and send the information to the FBI to track the user down and arrest them
instead, twitter would just get shut down.
(worst case scenario, yes, but the way the law is written, it is entirely possible)
Sounds like fun.
but it would be shutdown only in the US or if the servers were in the US right?
18:34
I'm thinking, if there's a small site you don't like, you can just shut it down
by bombarding it with illegal hyperlinks
@StefanoPalazzo That's the problem
it stifles startups
jrg
jrg
@BrunoPereira Yes, however, as history has shown us, as the US does, so does the rest of the world.
(eventually)
also, never mind that it "only" affects the US. what affects them affects the rest of the world
jrg
jrg
very true.
18:36
@jrg I proud to say not it does not, europe can be a lot of things but its diferent from the Us in so many other ways. (not proud in a bad way, just different)
jrg
jrg
this would also apply to US companies with datacenters elsewhere.
@BrunoPereira here's a great example: GPS
jrg
jrg
@BrunoPereira In most things, the world follows the US - i shouldn't have said always, that was a poor choice of words. And this is probably going to be no different.
@jrg we launched our first satellites to avoid US norms and protocols just this year, this way if one day the US "remembers" to shutdown GPS we will be using the EU system
and most of the internet's infrastructure (DNS in particular) is under us legislation
jrg
jrg
18:39
indeed.
@BrunoPereira though fantastic, that's at least 10 years away, and it's had constant trouble funding itself from the start (looks a bit better now)
@jrg I am tankful for all the inovation the US has brought, the ppl I have met, the policies that you have applied that benefited all including outside the US, I dont agree with all you do
@StefanoPalazzo let the US say a word about "closing down" or limiting it and you will see those rockets flying high
probably, yeah
jrg
jrg
@BrunoPereira and then what happens?
we all die. :)
my point is simply this: we're all better off if the US is free and healthy
18:41
\o/ George is here! :)
@jrg healthy, yes, definitely, all the best for the US ;)
@GeorgeEdison why is stacks not working in ubuntu 64bits?
What?
What's not working?
I have added my account details and I see nothing in it, only the main icon (im a first time user and did not spend more then 3mins looking at it so dont be surprised)
I force refresh / wait and all I get is main icon
If i click the account link on the drop menu I get rightfully redirected in firefox to my account but no info on the panel :(
@StefanoPalazzo yo, we can has charm for stefano chat?
that'd be pretty fantastic. thought I know nothing about juju
18:45
@JorgeCastro Probably for the new version.
I mean that would make more sense.
it's going to be easy again, isn't it :)
it will be
whenever $newversion is ready
@BrunoPereira So what do you see in your notification area?
Do you see the StackApplet icon?
@GeorgeEdison yeah, but thats all
@JorgeCastro Great. I know exactly whom I can talk to about it as well
18:47
@GeorgeEdison im opening that box now, sec
(pancakes with beer anyone?)
(with tuna and ketchup so dont surprised over the beer!)
I am also looking for someone to charm up thinkupapp.com if someone is looking for something to do
@JorgeCastro "charm up"?
To create a juju charm for it.
jrg
jrg
worst commit message i've ever come up with: added censorship stuff :P

Hey just y'day received update for googletalk plugin and life is good video chat services r working in firefox :)
18:52
oh, out of my league I think, never done it :S
@wisemonkey had problems before??? Oo
lol yea askubuntu.com/questions/73321/… for quite some time
want epic
@GeorgeEdison yeah, only the main stacks icon, if i click on it I can see my account and if I open it it redirects me to my account, but no real time info or anything
yea I got tumbleweed for that question :P looks like I was the only one
nice :)
here are few poll type questions -- I've never used desktop clients for following services and now thinking of giving them a try I would like opinions
identi.ca, twitter, pandora
jrg
jrg
19:03
I liked one for twitter which was using adobe air -- don't remember the name
jrg
jrg
pandora: no real options, they keep breaking everything
ok I'll try Polly right now
jrg
jrg
identica: no idea
well Polly would hopefully work for both twitter and identi.ca
jrg
jrg
19:04
nope.
twitter only.
ohh ok I'll look around
it has really bad representation
can't copy paste code directly :P
oops just realized thats someone's personal site
jrg
jrg
those instructions are broken.
anyone here work with node js?
jrg
jrg
launchpad.net/polly - that has instructions
19:14
@GeorgeEdison is there a ppa that I can install a more recent stacks app?
19:24
everyone is talking about pithos for pandora I'll try it
nobody?? node js??
rdl@RDL-UBUNTU-1:~$ node
axconfig: port 1 not active
axconfig: port 2 not active
what is it??
jrg
jrg
i'm not a node.js programmer.
just a node.js server admin who makes sure it's up-do-date. :P
@wisemonkey A whole lot of things.
ohh ok then won't try to think about it
I'm pretty sure I liked chrome browser command line implementation
hello everyone
@MarcoCeppi i'm getting a tiny bit nervous... what with the meeting tomorrow that determines whether i gain member status or not
@ThomasWard You'll be fine :)
@MarcoCeppi Except to counter-troll a troll. :P
jrg
jrg
@ThomasWard you'll be fine. :)
19:33
@MarcoCeppi I have a feeling you're right, but still
@jrg ^
jrg
jrg
@ThomasWard yeah, heading into it was about as bad as my first interview. :P
@jrg yeah, well i get horridly nervous the day before interviews and stuff
but on the actual day i'm extraordinarily calm
no clue why...
jrg
jrg
but once i was in, i was like this:
:P
lol
wait...
HTTP 418 is an actual code?
and its actual return value is "I'm a Teapot"?
jrg
jrg
I think it's a joke
19:41
/me sets up a test
yeah i think it is
because its nonexistent
WIKIPEDIA!
418 I'm a teapot (RFC 2324)
This code was defined in 1998 as one of the traditional IETF April Fools' jokes, in RFC 2324

, Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol, and is not expected to be implemented by actual HTTP servers.

@GeorgeEdison Is the flackbot JavaScript file all that I need fo make FlackBot run?
@OctavianDamiean no you need the GeorgeEdison.script plugin to make it work :p
I thought so. :D
I'm back.
Sorry about that.
@OctavianDamiean: Are you referring to the new version?
@BrunoPereira: Realtime information?
@GeorgeEdison I'm suing you for violating 450 of my patents in FlackBot and StackApplet :)
19:52
@RolandTaylor i'm arresting you for filing false lawsuits
jrg
jrg
@RolandTaylor stop trolling, you're not being funny. :P
@GeorgeEdison should there not be information displayed there? (current rep, badges?)
jrg
jrg
probably just rep
@GeorgeEdison I know its refreshed and not real time info
jrg
jrg
i don't think SA does badges
19:52
in what, StackAPplet?
oh yeah
@GeorgeEdison but atm nothing
StackApplet doesnt do badges
@RolandTaylor Whoah... wait - what?
but i think it was suggested it should
@BrunoPereira There should be current rep. under the indicator.
Does it just say "Loading..." or does it have the site name?
@ThomasWard It's all planned for v1.6 - as well as question notifications for tags, etc.
19:54
@GeorgeEdison don't worry, got you covered. pulls out his badge and handcuffs
@RolandTaylor you are under arrest for trying to use the legal system to troll. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, an attorney will be provided by the Courts. ... Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?
extraordinarily bored today, if you cant tell
jrg
jrg
@BrunoPereira do you have any oli day photos I can upload to the flickr set? ^^
@jrg just the one on my site :(
@BrunoPereira Can I please see a screenshot of the menu open?
That might help me pinpoint the problem.
@GeorgeEdison working on it.
19:57
@GeorgeEdison I wasn't aware that there is a new version already!
jrg
jrg
ok, getting those.
back
had to help with something
@GeorgeEdison I be trollin/kiddin

@RolandTaylor stop trolling, you're not being funny. :P

@GeorgeEdison there you go
Wow...
You're running ye olde stacke appleth
jrg
jrg
is that a VM?
20:10
@jrg yeah
@RolandTaylor Oo, its the first time I install it, was asking for a PPA, is there one?
@GeorgeEdison (sorry! seems its only a butt old version)
@BrunoPereira yes, askubuntu-tools is t3h PPA
found it
prodigy has to be one of the most awesome things in this little world!
Prodigy the band, software, or in reference to one who has mastered a number of skills at a young age?
2
20:20
band band :D
ahh, then I agree :P
except for "Smack my bitch up".... nobody takes my picture
no mater how old the tracks are, put some nice headphones on and listen to pure awesomeness!
jrg
jrg
Is there a way for me to view all the various launchpad bugs i'm subscribed to through my team memberships?
@BrunoPereira Yes, that looks correct.
StackApplet loads your reputation every xxx minutes and checks for new comments, etc.
...where 'xxx' is a configurable interval.
@OctavianDamiean: Yup, it's a Python app.
@GeorgeEdison its not doing it on that version, needs update, will test the version on the PPA
20:29
@BrunoPereira Great.
v1.5 gets released today.
jrg
jrg
20:39
heh, time to fire up gwibber to test something for a bug report. :P
How can I make the Movie Player always stay on-top of other windows? http://askubuntu.com/questions/79931/how-can-i-make-the-movie-player-always-stay-on-top-of-other-windows #windows

Just replace my old ATI card with a new Nvidia one.....soooooooo smoooooooooooth
Yay, Nvidia!
DoR
DoR
Off to try gnome-shell, brb
@GeorgeEdison v1.5 is installed but I am getting same behaviour
@GeorgeEdison I can see my askubuntu account in the preferences page, the menu drop out is the same as in the previous image but no refresh :(
20:55
@EliahKagan if you have to add too much information to an answer/question in an edit, and it is not a community wiki, it would be better make your own answer/question.

I know you are enthusiatic (or something) :) - but just giving some advice.
Hey guys
Anyone read this OMG! Ubuntu article?
Make sure to sign the petition that it links! We don't want the US to start policing the internet, and causing us to lose the freedoms that it contains.
The US really has to stop sticking its nose into every little thing.
If you guys don't know what the SOPA bill is about, check this link out:
@BrunoPereira There's no refresh menu item?
21:10
@GeorgeEdison there is, when I click it nothing happens
Should something happen?
should it not show rep or something? i only have the main applet icon
It should update the rep. next to the site in the menu.
...and if anyone has commented since the last refresh, it will pop up a message.
@GeorgeEdison started working just now, how long does a refresh take? Would expect a few seconds if you press the button no?
@BrunoPereira Yeah, it should take a few seconds.
21:18
@GeorgeEdison didnt do anything for more then 10, seems to be working now. the rep only shows on the drop menu not by the icon right?
@BrunoPereira Yes, that's correct.
@GeorgeEdison ok, thx for the time
No problem - thanks for testing it.
I'm trying to comment on an answer to a question. I have 10 points on this forum, so I probably can't do that, but the "edit" tag let me open someone else's answer to change it (I didn't). I'm confused.
your edits will be reviewed before being committed so that is not a issue
21:26
@user23861 Those edits go into a queue for approval.
comments are not reviewed so users need to gain some reputation to create them.
Thanks. I love stack exchange, but why is it so hard to find the page on this forum that lists privileges earned?
Hoover over your username and select privileges, not really hard to find, or visit askubuntu.com/privileges
Thanks. That works. I'll try adding my comment to the answer and see what response I get.
@GeorgeEdison Oh nice! Is open source?
21:39
@OctavianDamiean The Python code? Yes.
You might want to checkout one revision back from the tip. I just added an HTTP server to it so it will be a little hard to use until I add a front-end.
The previous revision provided a command based interface.
Awesome! Thanks. :)
@jrg: Are you running Fedora anywhere?
:) hi all
21:54
btw I hope we're still cool after my impromptu comedy episodes :P
What was that?
I mean the patent issues and stackapplet eating my dog ofc
20k!
That's fine... you have a right to grieve your loss.
:P - I can't tell if you're kidding (like me) or not :P
jrg
jrg
22:20
@GeorgeEdison not really no
i can get one fairly quickly though (read: week, probably two. :P)
@jrg That's okay.
I found a VM I created a while back with Fedora 14 on it.
@RolandTaylor Yeah, I'm kidding :)
jrg
jrg
yay
You guys are minutes away from StackApplet 1.5's release party :P
jrg
jrg
i'll start now. :P
this app is going to be SO COMPLEX DUDE.
i mean, look at all the options on the first page!
@GeorgeEdison sweet!
@jrg LOOOOOOL
That's more complex than GNOME Shell 4!
22:31
@jrg That reminds me of shouldiusetablesforlayout.com
jrg
jrg
:D
@GeorgeEdison isitchristmas.com
@jrg Lol!
GNOME Shell 4 (git) has a config dialogue built in...

All it says is "Nice try..."
jrg
jrg
this is the premise of the app:
is it <insert-favorite-conference-name-here> yet?
so, this one is "Is it RubyConf yet?"
(UDS-Q comes later after i've screwed this one up. :P)
lol
Preview from 21 Islands will be posted soon :)
@StefanoPalazzo
22:38
Uploading builds...

@Icedrake I signed! I need fewer reasons to be paranoid as an American! :D
jrg
jrg
@WarriorIng64 heh, yeah
I just saw that campaign on OMG! Ubuntu, and I followed the links from there.
@StefanoPalazzo posted the first one

@RolandTaylor pong, you haz invite to room.

joining
jrg
jrg
(since it's not really ubuntu-related)
I also just reached 2k rep today, and got the long-coveted privilege to edit questions as I please. Is it normal to also feel slightly disappointed that 95% of my rep income has just vanished? :P
jrg
jrg
yeah, i felt the same way
