Seth

18:00

Nope.

Nathan Osman

Argh.

Terrance

My W10 BlueScreens were actually because of bad RAM that tested good. :(

Nathan Osman

This is why I don't like Windows.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Windows 7 > all other versions of Windows to date.

@ByteCommander Actually, it was okay in the really early tech previews.

Nathan Osman

WINDOWS!!! Seriously. I click "Go back to the previous build" and it bluscreens. Again.

Seth

18:13

@AndroidDev I liked 8.1 best.

Nathan Osman

This thing is a pain.

Android Dev

@Seth O_O

Seth

@AndroidDev This is true. Before they added all the garbage.

Nathan Osman

Why oh why did I upgrade?!?

Android Dev

@NathanOsman You should have had a system image on a separate drive...

user136984

18:14

@NathanOsman: You are right, Nautilus is a pain in the ass...

Byte Commander

Only taking the UI into account, my favourite would still be XP.

Nathan Osman

Worst part: I never told it to install the last update.

user136984

I am having so much trouble with it right now... And filling so many bug reports...

Android Dev

@Seth Yeah. I actually really liked it then. That was back when they had the first new start menu prototype.

user136984

Because they won't fix it and make it more stable unless people tell them, and apparently no one else will...

Byte Commander

18:15

Of course the newer ones got some nice glossy features, but I don't want to trade that for administrability (or however the correct word for that is).

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Disable updates in gpedit.msc

Seth

@NathanOsman You can't stop it.

Nathan Osman

If anyone ever finds a way to make Windows completely shut up about updates, that would be awesome.

@AndroidDev I did that on my desktop.

Still bugs me with messages.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Disable the WUS.

(Yes, you can do that)

@NathanOsman - Then you can just enable it when you want updates.

@Rinzwind Hello! Since we're on the subject, weren't the alpha windows 10 tech previews way better than the final product?

Rinzwind

@AndroidDev I dont use w10 >:=D

so no idea about that

Android Dev

18:18

@Rinzwind I use it in a VM. I do have 7 on my HDD though.

Rinzwind

I have w7 at work but use it only for a vpn i cant get working on Ubuntu

I code on an Ubuntu machine at work :)

Android Dev

@Rinzwind - How can I open a gallery chat with a specific user?

Zacharee1

wow

I have an AMD R7 250

Rinzwind

"gallery"?

Seth

@Zacharee1 The Axon 7 real camera review was not pretty. Kinda confused why you want one so bad :P

Zacharee1

18:21

AMDGPU-PRO only supports R7 260

Android Dev

@Rinzwind Where other users can't talk. That's what the HC calls it.

Rinzwind

@AndroidDev click the user in chat and create a room

Zacharee1

@Seth My phone is already terrible in low light. The Axon 7 at least has the hardware to be better, just bad software. The US variant's bootloader is also unlockable, so I don't have to use the so-so interface if I don't want to

Android Dev

@Rinzwind But if they have never been in chat before?

Seth

@Zacharee1 just get a g5 IMO

they couldn't even figure out what sensor the 7 was using.

Nathan Osman

18:22

"No system restore points have been created"

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 Do you have Tox? I'd need to talk to you off site...

Nathan Osman

Aaaaaarggghh.

user136984

Is there a way to temporarily clean my Firefox profile for debugging? Because I don't want to have to redo everything.

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander no :/

Nathan Osman

@ByteCommander I could create a private room here.

Rinzwind

18:23

@AndroidDev then you cant :+)

Zacharee1

@Seth I like my OLED. And the G5's high brightness mode isn't very reliable

Android Dev

@Rinzwind :(

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman That would also be an option. Even better than Tox.

Nathan Osman

K. One sec.

Seth

@Zacharee1 eh, fair enough.

Rinzwind

18:24

@AndroidDev maybe you can fake the url :D

Byte Commander

You can also invite the other guys we were talking with @NathanOsman

Zacharee1

@Seth I'll probably end up getting an S7 or something if the Axon doesn't improve

But seeing as they released a bootloader unlock upon request, I think they're concerned about their community

Android Dev

@Rinzwind - You sent me an invite?

Rinzwind

this: http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/43821/room-for-rinzwind-and-android-dev

is the url. change mine for that user ;-)
No idea if that works :D

Zacharee1

The Note 7 is way too expensive to be worth it ($850)

Nathan Osman

18:25

Who needs in? @Zacharee1 and @ByteCommander?

Android Dev

@Rinzwind But why?

Zacharee1

What'd I do?

Android Dev

@Rinzwind Ohhh.

Rinzwind

@AndroidDev see the edit ;)

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman You can also add yourself, Kaz and Serg, I think.

Seth

Nexus 6p vs OnePlus 3 Camera Comparison with Samples

►

That was interesting. 6P creamed the OP3 in almost every example o_O

Android Dev

@Rinzwind It redirects to the room you made :(

@Seth Have they fixed OP3 memory leakage yet?

Seth

@AndroidDev I never heard about a memory leak.. but I would guess so. (I don't have one myself)

Android Dev

@Seth It would reload apps a ton even with the 6GB of RAM.

Fermi paradox

Trying to make rkhunter stop with the false positives on a fresh ubuntu install, i m using the proposed solution here at the bottom. Specifically i opened rkhunter.config and added ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/dev/shm/pulse-shm-*

Android Dev

I assume it was a memory leak issue.

Fermi paradox

18:28

But it fixes nothing; still get the same warning. Am i doing it wrong with the wildcard?

Zacharee1

@Seth ehh, neither camera is great on those IMO. I use the 6p and liked that it was nice in low light, but hated how it had almost no zoom before getting pixelated

Seth

@Zacharee1 oh yeah, they're both good. But the dynamic range on the 6P was way better than the 3 on auto.

Zacharee1

ah

Seth

That and the 3 always blew out the highlights.

Zacharee1

I'll stick with the S7 for now

or S8

Seth

18:30

@Zacharee1 eh, who zooms on a smartphone anyway? Unless you have 41 MP I don't see that turning out well period.

Zacharee1

@Seth it's nice on my 16MP

I think it was just a software issue

Seth

Those big pixels on the 6P tho. Wow.

Zacharee1

because it doesn't get pixelly when I zoom all the way on my Note, but the 6P was pixelated almost right away

FirstStep

Hi, @AndroidDev are you here?

Android Dev

@Seth Good LL performance?

Seth

18:31

@Zacharee1 That's only 4MP more. I guess that's a decent amount.

Android Dev

@FirstStep Yes.

Seth

@AndroidDev yeah

FirstStep

Hello and thanks for helping me.

cl-netbox

Hi everbody ! :)

FirstStep

Do you need me to provide you any indormation?

Q: Ubuntu Server ethernet configuration naming error

So I just installed the Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS and wanted to configure my ethernet connection. My /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* auto lo iface lo inet loopback auth eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.99 *whatever my ip is* netmask ...

Seth

@cl-netbox hi!

Android Dev

@FirstStep Did it let you in?

FirstStep

@AndroidDev I am in

cl-netbox

@Seth Hi Seth ! :) How are you ?

Seth

18:34

doing ok. very tired tho

you?

user136984

So many bugs to report... I wish I had more RAM, more CPU cores, and a better internet connection! This is taking for ever and the bugs are slowing me down too! :D

Rinzwind

any mod knows how to make a room with someone that never visited chat?

Seth

sure

Rinzwind

@Seth tell @AndroidDev how ;-)

Seth

@Rinzwind unfortunately only mods can do it :(

Rinzwind

18:37

aha

ok. I admit. My question lacked that part >:)

Seth

If @AndroidDev needs to create one he can ping me with details.

Android Dev

@Seth Thanks, nevermind tho. I had firststep come in here first and then I created a room.

Rinzwind

lol

Seth

ok! :)

cl-netbox

@Seth I am quite okay ... exploring landscape on-premises features ... very nice solution from canonical ! :)

Rinzwind

18:40

boxy!

cl-netbox

@Rinzwind rinzy ! Hi ! :)

Zacharee1

@Seth so when we switched our phones back to Verizon, they apparently gave us $100 credit for each line and waived the activation fees.

which means we should be seeing $300 off our bill

Rinzwind

that's a nice bit of cash :)

Seth

lol you went back to Verizon?

@cl-netbox cool!

Zacharee1

So I think the moral here is switch to T-Mobile, then back to Verizon

Android Dev

18:41

@Seth O_O

Zacharee1

@Seth just until we get back from Canada and can buy new phones for T-Mobile

Seth

wait

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 that works for more than your phone. Works for electra in Holland too ;-)

and energy

Zacharee1

Leave and come back?

Seth

@Zacharee1 so the plan is Verizon -> T-mobile -> wait no Verizon -> okay T-mobile?

cl-netbox

18:43

@Seth Have you seen my Q & A -> askubuntu.com/questions/808911/… ? There I described what has to be done ... :)

Zacharee1

@Seth yes

T-Mobile is still cheaper and we get Binge On, even with 2GB per line

Seth

@cl-netbox nice! :)

Zacharee1

I guess each line stakcs since it's a family plan

cl-netbox

@Seth Thanks ! :)

Seth

@Zacharee1 how much per line?

Zacharee1

18:46

@Seth $50, $35, $10, $10, $10, etc

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 T-Mobile is awesome.

Zacharee1

yesh

Seth

@Zacharee1 That's not bad.

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 Plus they are expanding with that new 800Mhz LTE...

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 I would only gett the 3rd line >:-D

Zacharee1

18:47

@Rinzwind well we have 6 phones and two data lines

@Seth ikr

There might be a $15 or $20 before the $10 but I can't remember

Nathan Osman

Does anyone know if... I can rollback to Windows 7 (I still have the install disc) and upgrade to Windows 10 at a later date?

I've got Windows 10 on the machine now.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Yes.

@NathanOsman - After you activate on 10,

Nathan Osman

But I want to go back to 7 with the option of returning to 10 without buying a new license key.

Serg

Howdy folks

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Yep, you can!

Nathan Osman

18:50

Totally awesome!

@AndroidDev Thanks, man.

Serg

@NathanOsman plz resend

Nathan Osman

I'll probably do that then.

@Serg I can't :(

Android Dev

@NathanOsman - Once you activate on 10, it sends some info to MS so that you can install 10 again without even entering the product key.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman only if you upgraded in the last 30 days

Nathan Osman

Excellent.

@Zacharee1 Is that for rollback or clean install?

I'm doing a clean install.

Android Dev

18:51

@NathanOsman Rollback.

Zacharee1

@AndroidDev yeah, but after 30 days the older license is made invalid

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 ?????????

Nathan Osman

Not for OEM, I don't think.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman both. If it's been more than 30 days on Windows 10, the 7 or 8.1 key is invalidated

Nathan Osman

They sold the laptop with Windows 7 so it must always be able to run Windows 7 IIRC.

Android Dev

18:51

@Zacharee1 WHAT!!!!????

Zacharee1

I don't think so

Nathan Osman

Argh. Conflicting opinions. :P

Zacharee1

This laptop came with Windows 8.1

I'm pretty sure the key is invalid for that

Nathan Osman

OEM, I assume?

Zacharee1

I guess

Android Dev

18:52

@Zacharee1 Let me Google some...

@NathanOsman @Zacharee1 superuser.com/questions/948180/…

@NathanOsman answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/…

cl-netbox

@Serg Hi Serg ! :)

Zacharee1

I swear I read it would be deactivated @AndroidDev

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 Dunno. @NathanOsman could always live chat with an MS tech.

Zacharee1

because then they're giving you both OSes for free

Nathan Osman

I will try Windows 7 and see what happens.

Android Dev

19:01

@Zacharee1 But if you deactivate 10 before reinstalling 7...

Zacharee1

@AndroidDev dual boot

Serg

@cl-netbox hi, how's it going ?

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 I think the server would know something fishy was up if you were switching back and forth too many times a month.

Nathan Osman

@Seth have a moment or two?

Seth

maybe. I really need to stop procrastinating tho :P

What's up?

Nathan Osman

19:03

@Seth see the room I invited you to.

cl-netbox

@Serg quite okay ... I am fighting with the landscape-api ... I always get the same error : "No JSON object could be decoded" when I run for instance get-computers or get-alerts or get-event-log

user136984

How do I start Firefox in "Safe Mode"?

user136984

They appear to have moved the option or changed the name because I can't find it...

Anwar Shah

Which user starts the display manager at first? It was root I guess in upstart. This systemd thing is weird

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda firefox -safe-mode

Just RTFM (man firefox)

;-D

user136984

19:12

Oh, so there's no way of doing it through the GUI? I was sure there used to be... That's why I couldn't find it then! :D

Serg

I'm gonna be away from chat for now

Anwar Shah

@ParanoidPanda there is a "Restart firefox with add-on disabled"

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda Probably you can also go through the menu "Help" → "Restart without add-ons"

rancho

hello all

Anwar Shah

@rancho hi

cl-netbox

19:16

@rancho Hi rancho ! :)

rancho

please suggest some of the best websites out there for learning java

Anwar Shah

SO chat would be more enlightening I guess. but anyway, java people recommends official java tutorial, Thinking in Java

Thomas Ward

pokes @NathanOsman for no apparent reason

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard /ban Thomas

Anwar Shah

Will anyone help me to resolve this bug bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1464917 ? this only happens when the try to shutdown with the modem connected

they say a fix is released

rancho

19:27

I asked a question about webcamoid but apparently no bodt has answer, on clicking the icon in dash the icon shows up in lauch menu than disappears

Thomas Ward

@AnwarShah If there is a fix released, that's been in the system since 15.04. If you're on older than 15.04 then you need to see if that fix was ever SRU'd backwards, but considering it's SystemD it should be fixed, and if not, you need to open a new bug report.

Anwar Shah

Thanks. I'm on 16.04

Thomas Ward

then file a new bug, and make a note that it's the same issue as the 15.04 bug.

Anwar Shah

Okay. seems that's the only way to go

can't really understand why they switched to systemd!

Android Dev

@ThomasWard - Are you still looking for a new hypervisor?

Anwar Shah

19:33

@rancho link please?

Q: Cannot launch Webcamoid after successful installation

I installed webcamoid by typing in terminal apt update apt install webcamoid Now when I go to Ubuntu launch icon and type webcamoid the icon appears. But after clicking on the icon it appears on Ubuntu launcher for a few seconds and then disappear. Why is it happening so? I am using Ubuntu...

16.04 webcamoid

Anwar Shah

I can't install a software with just apt install package-name. I must use sudo.

rancho

yeah sudo obviously

actually I practice sudo su and then never use sudo

Anwar Shah

always use sudo

rancho

what's wrong with sudo su?

Rinzwind

19:39

@rancho all commands done at the prompt will be registered to "root". Use sudo -i It does the same but use the actual user name. So logging commands show the correct user.

Android Dev

Well, that took a while!

Discord link for you in IRC

Thomas Ward

@AndroidDev I'm looking for $800 to build my own hypervisor. why?

Android Dev

@ThomasWard Well just FYI, you can get a pair of Xeon 2670 v1s for just $140...

@ThomasWard - That'l best the 6950X.

IanC

man, I can't even get close to competing with the "Code Golf" guys

Android Dev

19:47

I need 4 more repz to break 3k :(

FOUR!

IanC

just did another challenge and it took me 137 bytes to write a function, when a guy did it in 5 bytes

I'm still trying to understand the bit operations he did lol

Android Dev

@IanC Did you put in extra whitespace?

Thomas Ward

@AndroidDev I can get four older E5xxx series Xeons for that amount.

and my $800-priced hypervisor will include 16 physical cores, 32 logical, and 128GB RAM

IanC

@AndroidDev, no, just the obligatory spaces. The challenge was to write a function for if a number is a Prouth number

Byte Commander

@Serg Check your Tox messages, we finally made a decision

Thomas Ward

19:49

i've already speced everything out, I just need to get $$$ to purchase heh

Android Dev

@ThomasWard Dual 2670 v1s will get you 16P and 32L cores as well...

IanC

my approach wasn't the best

I was supposed to factor the number and I did sort of a "brute-force" approach, just test until you find it or not lol

Android Dev

@IanC Did they rate your programs' efficiency?

@ThomasWard How did I just get 80 rep in 30 seconds?????

Zacharee1

o_O

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 Now 100!

IanC

19:51

@AndroidDev, I just posted it, but it was a golf challenge, so the focus was the size of the program, not its efficiency. Lost on both though haha

Android Dev

What the heck????

@Zacharee1 - Am I part of a voting ring?

Zacharee1

where is this?

@AndroidDev that looks like serial votes
