@Terrance lol, timelapse... it actually took me about 20 mins...

Terrance

@daBoss Timelapse is fun to amaze your friends with on how fast and accurate you can drive. ;)

FR bug - on an asymmetrical multi-monitor rig, it would be nice if software updater centered on your primary screen... as in whichever one has the root menu. Things like blender stretching across monitors makes sense, but simple utilities like software updater should probably center on the primary or last remembered screen. It would be awesome if that was exposed through the Ubuntu SDK as well.

Seth

mm, what's the command to force an LTS upgrade before a point release (HWE) is released? Is it do-release-upgrade -d or -p?

Zacharee1

@Seth try both

@Seth Or do it graphically

Seth

I'm not doing it, I don't run LTS ;)

also, trying both isn't a good idea, one will put me in an unstable situation.

Zacharee1

12:40 AM

how so?

Seth

LTS is about stability. -p will either upgrade me to the next LTS (before the HWE) or put me on proposed, which can be unstable. -d will either upgrade me to the next LTS (before HWE) or put me on the next release, which isn't LTS.

Zacharee1

@Seth do it graphically :p

Seth

graphically only does one or the other..

Zacharee1

Don't you want to go to the next release?

hbdgaf

@Seth Are you hinting that this is the behavior on latest?

Seth

12:44 AM

@hbdgaf eh? If I'm running 14.04 the update manager won't show 16.04 until 16.04.1 comes out. Been that way for a while now.

hbdgaf

Here's an answer from @Jorge-the-robot askubuntu.com/a/125834/5768

Seth

haha, I was literally just reading that! Thanks @hbdgaf, you found it much faster than me :)

hbdgaf

To test that the correct version is found, one can run do-release-upgrade -c. looks important and IS the answer to your question

Seth

lol someone just PM'ed me in IRC and told me "if you're the legit sethj you kick ass!" and then "wait, wrong seth, sorry" xD

hbdgaf

boo. look in a mirror and give yourself a hug from me ;)

Seth

12:57 AM

:)

It was funny though. They were still nice.

That's the biggest reason I stuck with Ubuntu after switching to Linux. The community is freaking awesome!!

hbdgaf

Yes. Most of the community is a testament to the patience of Job.

Seth

@RPiAwesomeness About 0 A.D.: Make sure you download it beforehand! It's over 600MB and with Launchpad being slow it takes at least 40 minutes to download over my 20MBps connection.

actually, I should probably post that on the thread itself.

hbdgaf

I would have posted the datetime in the same format that it appears in the clock widget as opposed to the US interpretation. Just saying.

Seth

1:20 AM

I thought he did?

I've always used MM-DD-YY(YY), never YYYY-MM-DD.

Thomas W.

I use YYYY-MM-DD with dates on my systems - makes sorting easier

but always MM-DD-YYYY in my handwriting and on papers and such

Nathan Osman

@Seth I don't even bother downloading it on my connection. I head over to packages.ubuntu.com and grab the 0ad-data package over at a coffee shop or store with free WiFi :P

Then I come home, use dpkg to install that, and then install the rest with apt-get.

Works like a charm.

Seth

1:37 AM

@NathanOsman That's a good idea ;)

Does Kali Linux have a mobile version, or am I reading the site wrong?

Who here likes Fedora as a user-OS (not only for developers)?

Seth

@Zacharee1 kali.org/tutorials/kali-linux-android-linux-deploy

@Zacharee1 I know @JourneymanGeek uses Fedora. Dunno if he considers himself a developer or not. I think @jokerdino uses it too

:(

Zacharee1

2:36 AM

hmm

I kind of want to try it (because of the whole GNOME thing), but idk if it'll really be that good.

THERE"S NOTHING THERE AND IT DOESN"T CENTER AGHHHHH

Nathan Osman

What are the styles for the.modul-phone <div>s?

The container has display: block set, so it should occupy the full width (which it does).

@Zacharee1 I'm betting it's a 12-unit grid - each of those items only occupies 3 units. 3x3=9, so there's room for a fourth.

Zacharee1

2:57 AM

@NathanOsman I did remove a 4th block, but I have no idea how to remove the "reference" to it

@NathanOsman I'm not very good with HTML :p

@NathanOsman you can see the source code here: techyteen.byethost7.com

right now, it doesn't have the exact stuff, but the formatting issue is still there

Halp me @NathanWan, you're my only hope :p

Mateo

lol, centering with CSS...

Zacharee1

@Mateo guh

Well I have to go to bed now, so goodnight

@Mateo it's funny how that's such a joke..

Question...

How does the domain name "ubuci.xyz" strike everyone?

Catchy? Ugly? (Please ignore the .xyz TLD - I'm thinking in particular of the ubuci part.)

It's a shortened form of "Ubuntu CI".

Alternative suggestions also welcome.

(Sadly, "uci" is already taken.)

I could also add a dash - "ubu-ci.xyz". Probably helps with reading. But what do people think of domains with dashes?

Lol. "ubu-ci.club" is the same price :P

"ubu-ci.space" is still a reasonable price too.

Seth

I don't like ubuci, it doesn't strike me as related to anything I'd know.. Not a huge fan of dashes in domains but it does help.

is this something like travis, jenkins or circle?

Nathan Osman

Yeah, kinda like Travis, but for Click and Snappy packages.

Seth

cool.

Nathan Osman

It just needs a nice name :)

Seth

Why not something like 'snappyCI' then?

Nathan Osman

4:01 AM

But what about click packages?

I don't want to use "click" or "snappy" in the name since it does both.

Seth

just because it's in the name doesn't mean it only does that.

But sure.. hmm

Nathan Osman

I'm not 100% sold on that though, so if you can talk me out of it... :P

Is .ci a TLD? Hmm...

Seth

ooh

Nathan Osman

.ci

.ci is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Côte d'Ivoire. == Unconventional Naming == In most situation, specific registrations are done using a second level domain name. Côte d'Ivoire also makes use of a special convention with an introductory name such as chu- instead of the second level domain name. Embassies: amb-name.ci Hospitals: chu-name.ci Tourism Offices: ot-name.ci Universities: univ-name.ci Companies House: cci-name.ci City Halls: mairie-name.ci == Secondary Level Names == The following are the existing second level names. The registration services offer to add more...

Seth

oh :/

Nathan Osman

4:03 AM

Can't tell if they are open for registrations though.

The registrar for the TLD has a slow website.

Madhav Nikam

@Mateo thanks.

Nathan Osman

uci.online is available but it is $9.

Seth

@NathanOsman You know, if you make it good enough you could end up on ci.ubuntu.com :P

Nathan Osman

That would be nice.

Seth

oh wait, that's already a thing :/

Nathan Osman

4:09 AM

Those are for the system images though, not apps.

Seth

yeah, I know.

Nathan Osman

And it's not a service users can use - just for developers.

Seth

yeah

snappyCI just sounds.. snappy.

Nathan Osman

I'm warming up to it...

Seth

snappyci.click :P

That's a thing and only $6.22 :P

Nathan Osman

4:24 AM

Whoah...

But $12.51 CAD for me.

Seth

that only comes out to 8.89 CAD..

plus 2.86 tax, so 11.75 I guess.

Nathan Osman

I was hoping more for an .xyz domain - they're only $1.50 :P

But I guess it's a bit early to be grabbing a domain anyway.

Mostly it's for branding.

Maybe I will go with Snappy CI.

Seth

5:03 AM

@NathanOsman They're cheap.. for a reason :/

Nathan Osman

True.

If we're talking $10, I might as well get a .com.

snappyci.com is available.

@edwardtorvalds I see only ~/.bash_aliases, so either /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases

edward torvalds

11:52 AM

@kos I thought of that too, but it must be related to uninstall of that software

kos

@edwardtorvalds Yes, since it started happening right after. Probably /etc/bash.bashrc since ~/.bash_aliases should be used for aliases.

@edwardtorvalds One is SIGINT and the other is SIGQUIT

edward torvalds

@kos I mean how do they difference in their function?

I dont know sigint or sigquit :p

kos

> The SIGQUIT signal is similar to SIGINT, except that it’s controlled by a different key—the QUIT character, usually C-\—and produces a core dump when it terminates the process, just like a program error signal. You can think of this as a program error condition “detected” by the user.

Zacharee1

@GeoMint Well I do have that here: techyteen.tk

GeoMint

wow, nice

kos

@edwardtorvalds Basically they are the same, but SIGQUIT produces a core dump and doesn't delete temporary files (but that's really up to the implementation)

edward torvalds

@kos core dump == copy of program in memory?

kos

1:32 PM

@edwardtorvalds Yep

edward torvalds

@kos where ? :D

kos

@edwardtorvalds Dunno, never used :D but I think /var/crash?

Let me look that up

edward torvalds

@kos there is not /var/crash on arch linux

Zacharee1

@GeoMint Do you think I should just take those Details buttons out and list their stuff underneath instead of doing that weird filter?

GeoMint

what

kos

1:36 PM

@edwardtorvalds I thought you were talking about Ubuntu. On Ubuntu it should be /var/crash, on Arch no idea

edward torvalds

is it really?

GeoMint

@Zacharee1 your site should be clear and easy to see

Zacharee1

So then I'll get rid of them

GeoMint

the detail buttons are ok

kos

@edwardtorvalds Ah no. Read this: sigquit.wordpress.com/tag/core_pattern

However I often read about /var/crash, so I think on Ubuntu it's still /var/crash.

5:53 PM

@A.B. Not sure - that's not a question I've ever had to address - for the most part, caching when a backend is down is up to the individual setting it up - either a failover server or a Varnish cache, though that will likely still explode/fail if the backend is down too long

Hey, so about the question you were commenting on.

kos

@HeatherBrown 1992?

Seanny123

libgbdm-dev isn't a python library, but I thought that was okay

user139252

@Kos 1991, I'll be 25 in june

Seanny123

vecause since he can't get Python installed, he needs something that isn't a Python library right?

Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

kos

@HeatherBrown Right it's 2016 already. :D

@Zacharee1 I can't see your age on your profile though.

@Seanny123 He is trying to import a module in python

Seanny123

Is he?

I thought he couldn't get it installed...

Jacob Vlijm

@Seanny123 ...called gdbm, but in python3, the module is imported as import dbm.gnu

@Seanny123 AHA, I see, no problem :) I deleted my answer this morning.

Seanny123

OH JEEZ

You're totally right

This guy is trying to join my Software Carpentry workshop so I assumed he was trying to follow installation instructions to get ready for that.

But now I understand he's doing some exploring on his own.

Thanks for explaining that to me!

Jacob Vlijm

@Seanny123 the error message he got indicates he already is in the python interpreter. No problem, cu around :)

Why don't any of these students/families answer their phones?

user139252

I've got to issue 7 truancy notices this month

Seth

@HeatherBrown I don't answer my phone unless I'm expecting a call or I know who is calling.

I'm sure a lot of people are like that.

I should probably get voicemail set up though..

user139252

Voicemail is good.

user139252

I've left about 15 of those today.

@HeatherBrown well, I put mine on complete silent all the time, so voicemail is all you will get - plus some less important calls don't bother with leaving messages

user139252

I like the "Priority" mode on Lollipop where you can make it ring for certain people

Oh dear... I am nearly falling asleep, and I don't know how that is possible after so many cups of coffee (including a large soup bowl of it)... :D

@Nathan: Out of interest, as you've had so many DDoS attacks on your server, if someone managed to hack in and edit the source of the script, how much would they be able to reach into your computer?

user139252

@ParanoidPanda 42.

@HeatherBrown :D :D :D

user139252

@Fabby If you need free web-hosting... I'm available for that :P

Fabby

@HeatherBrown Because the family is in on it and they don't like teachers per definition.

@HeatherBrown :-) Do you do MySQL on the server too???

Thanks, when I get the money to pay for a domain name, I'll think of you! ;-)
