Bruno Pereira

@htorque think you also will get a silver :P

who the hell calls food vegemite anyways??? perthnow.com.au/business/media-marketing/…

htorque

vegemite... haha, some love it, some hate it

rlemon

19:20

anyone here installed ubuntu tv yet?

htorque

heheh @BrunoPereira thanks for the push :P

you're getting my votes on a regular basis - well deserved, of course.

rlemon

Will installing Ubuntu TV effect Unity 2d?

Bruno Pereira

@htorque don't know what you are talking about....

:D

Takkat

Hi all :) Congrats for the bounties \o/

Bruno Pereira

@rlemon probably since its very unstable atm

@rlemon you can apparently install in in unity and unity2d

@rlemon askubuntu.com/questions/94149/…

htorque

19:22

@Takkat he, thanks. only 38 days with 200+ rep left to get the 'epic' badge :D

rlemon

basically before I go installing this, my concern is can i easily back out of it - or can/will it bork my unity

Takkat

"only", nicely said... That would take me ages...

Bruno Pereira

@rlemon would make a serious backup first, my guess is that it will break some stuff, if not today in some recent future update

htorque

only four more years. \o/

Takkat

4 long years.

Ubuntu 16.04 :)

Bruno Pereira

19:25

LOL

any way you can easyly count that?

Takkat

If it's less than five I use my fingers...

htorque

50*(days here/days with 200+ rep) - days here =: days to go :P

Bruno Pereira

@Takkat -.-

htorque

but that's dumb extrapolation

Bruno Pereira

@htorque no, count how many days you have 200+

htorque

19:27

oh

askubuntu.com/reputation

and scroll down

Bruno Pereira

dam, dont want to count them by hand

Takkat

> earned at least 200 reputation on 1 days

:""(

htorque

at the bottom it will say

days represented 414
rep cap was reached via rep from upvotes *only* on 1 days
earned at least 200 reputation on 11 days
earned 4 reputation out of a maximum of 1000 from suggested edits

something like this ^

not going to get any more points for suggested edits :P

Takkat

At least you have 4 (I have 0 only)

htorque

:P

no idea how i got those

i definitely could edit before that feature was added.

maybe tag wiki edits.

Bruno Pereira

19:30

12 it is, still far away from glory... :P

htorque

it's probably 13

only added at the end of the day

Bruno Pereira

wonder how no one has it yet :S

htorque

already got more than i do - after just three months :P

Bruno Pereira

@htorque oh, great :P

Takkat

Glory is the rep curve: stackexchange.com/users/514854/takkat?tab=reputation

I try to keep them linear

htorque

19:32

ze germans

Takkat

pfft

Bruno Pereira

@Takkat steady as a drunk man driving on the desert

Takkat

lol

htorque

stackexchange.com/users/434549/htorque?tab=reputation

not exactly linear :D

Takkat

I approaches 17,500...

But with todays rep you will jump over it

htorque

19:35

right, got to start a 200 rep bounty :D

but not today :D

Takkat

Do something about your SU rep..

htorque

i'll probably never get a 200+ rep day ever again :D

heh, no thanks :P

Bruno Pereira

The only good features out of Windows have to be hacked out of it: techspot.com/guides/485-windows-concurrent-sessions :P

Takkat

lol

htorque

3rd party dll patching is all i ever wanted :P

Bruno Pereira

19:47

LOL

and ppl complaint that PPAs are "insecure"

Takkat

They are but without risk. No fun. Never got sweaty hands when installing a ppa.

Bruno Pereira

well they can be, but nothing compared with trusting 3rd party files from some random user for your Windows system

Takkat

I still remember those evil tuning tools for XP.

htorque

ScrewUp 2010 from ComputerBILD?

TuneUp, RegCleaner, TweakUI

Q: Accidently Overwrote Hardrive with DD, Recovery of Files?

I'm an idiot, I was writing an image to a USB drive using dd when instead of typing /dev/sdb I typed /dev/sdd and wrote the 135mb image to my 750gb External Hardrive full of files. Is there ANY posibilty of recovering the files or did dd completely zero out the drive? Please help, as this is one ...

Ouch

Takkat

ddrescue wont help.

But it's only 135MB of 750GB - not much lost then, is there?

Jacob Johan Edwards

But the filesystem index is probably among those 135MB... Forgive my ignorance, but can you even fsck if that's the case?

Takkat

I'd go for testdisk/photorec in this case.

htorque

the superblock is mirrored all over the drive iirc

testdisk should be able to fix it, but the overwritten data is gone for sure.

Takkat

Ah journaling...

jrg

20:15

i think we all know what this is for.... :P - askubuntu.com/questions/94423/…

htorque

microsoft.com?

jrg

of course!

Bruno Pereira

uhm?

jrg

haha

htorque

yeah, i'm sure @BrunoPereira has no idea what we are talking about haha

Bruno Pereira

20:18

Im also sure of that, beam me up Scotty!

Jacob Johan Edwards

@htorque @Takkat TIL. Could one of you answer, you seem pretty informed. :D

htorque

no time, i'm afraid :(

jrg

answered, even though i don't like the question.

are there any truly valid instances where you need to hide your history?

htorque

i kill it, because i don't need it.

Bruno Pereira

@jrg While "having fun" in AU while on company's time using company's network and PCs?

jrg

20:23

Ok, that's valid.

although it won't stop your IT department from screwing you over.

Bruno Pereira

yeah, but at least I dont need to feel bad enough to have to delete history and cache later on, besides is probably the safest way you can browse your online bank accounts ;)

jrg

@JacobJohanEdwards thanks for the edit.

that is also very true.

Bruno Pereira

Where is George???

htorque

good night, all!

Takkat

Good night @htorque

rlemon

21:17

ok so after installing and 'testing' ubuntu TV - I have noticed all the 'times' for the streaming shows are starting at 19:00 when locally it is only 16:00

is this because that is when the earliest media starts?

or is there a preferences area?

also I cannot view anything other than local media. (no streaming content)

Bruno Pereira

@rlemon be patient, it has just came out from concept to reality, did you install it on unity2d?

jrg

21:33

can I get a moderator to come through and purge these comments? It's starting to get out of control. - askubuntu.com/questions/94423/…

Marco Ceppi

@jrg only if you add an explanation to your post that you couldn't find a way to do it per URL

rlemon

22:03

@BrunoPereira i used the apt installer. installed from a Unity session

sadmicrowave

hey all, is there something I need to configure to allow telnet connections on some arbitrary port on my server?

say: 2626

I keep getting: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

wisemonkey

so is there anything like prism addon for firefox9 ? to save webpage as separate app?

jrg

22:18

@MarcoCeppi ok. consider it done.

sadmicrowave

anyone have any ideas about the telnet issue?

I can connect to localhost but when I try to connect from a remote machine it gets refused

wisemonkey

hmm not forwarding through router?

jrg

firewall issue?

sadmicrowave

@wisemonkey lets not hope its that considering I'm sitting behind a corporate firewall and I don't have access to change those settings....

anything local I can try first?

jrg

oh yes.

run ifconfig in a terminal

sadmicrowave

22:25

done

jrg

and find out what your IP address is for either wlan0 or eth0

and then try to telenet into it using that

otherwise, its the firewall.

wisemonkey

hmm I meant remote machine's telnet port 2626 haven't been forwarded through router (remote)?

sadmicrowave

@wisemonkey remote machine and my machine are both behind the same corporate firewall, which is why I wouldn't think that would be the issue since I'm not actually going out

wisemonkey

ohh ok

then yup firewall not letting u

sadmicrowave

how can it be the firewall, when both machines are behind the firewall and I'm not attempting to get out of the network at all?

what about my iptables? could it be I need to allow the traffic?

wisemonkey

22:30

hmm well but still they need to connect to each other through same switch/machine acting as a switch

sadmicrowave

well just added: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 2626 -j ACCEPT to my iptables with still no luck
