I hope that guy was refunded his $14 for the hotdog?
funny video though :)

exactly my thought

that is one hell of an expensive hotdog

Hi!

Hmm, what do people think? ebay.com/itm/252501745389

@AbhishekBhatia hi!

@ParanoidPanda lol that was cool

I like how he drags them on and then tells them "next time don't do that" xD

user136984

Yeah :D

I deleted network-manager in kubuntu, now I cannot to the internet even with man cable. Any ideas?

user136984

Yeah, I like that black guy's reactions so much! :D

user136984

9:38 PM

He was so funny! :D

Man-lan

user136984

He obviously thought it was going to be drugs or guns or something and went along with it anyway! :D

user136984

I love it.

@Seth Looks like a good bargain.

user136984

I laughed real hard when he was told not to do that next time. :D

user136984

9:40 PM

And now I am watching something so silly I cannot bring myself to post it here... :P

Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg Insult Each Other | CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE!

So I tried an iwconfig to get name of interface, then ifconfig <Ethernet interface> up. But nothing happens still can't connect.

user136984

This really is so silly: :D

user136984

user136984

I can't believe the BBC actually do silly things like this... And the fact that I'm watching them, even more so... :P

Celldweller - The Imperial March (Instrumental)

Any suggestions folks?

user136984

9:43 PM

It's strange how ever since I started posting silly things here the room has gone almost completely silent... :D

user136984

God... I have to stop watching silly things... :D

user136984

Back to something serious now. :P

user136984

user136984

Yeah, I think I finally did it... I've scared everyone off... :P

user136984

Could somebody but me please say something? :D

user136984

9:47 PM

No?

user136984

Ok...

lol? i was doing something else. what's going on

user136984

Silliness is invading the chat room and all has gone silent except for me just talking to myself (which probably isn't helping)! :D

Celldweller - Jericho (Instrumental)

this is when chat is quietest though

;D

user136984

You know, this is actually really quite good:

user136984

9:50 PM

Not sure how to proceed. My /etc/resolved.conf is empty

@AbhishekBhatia You'll need to setup /etc/network/interfaces manually.

user136984

@cl-netbox: I've been baking cakes all weekend so had no time for Arch yet. :P

That's why ifconfig eth0 up does not work.

(most likely)

@ParanoidPanda you shall not mention cakes unless you are offering them to us

9:51 PM

I have to run out soon though so I cannot help you.

user136984

:D

Q: How can I configure my headless server to connect to a wireless network automatically?

My Q/A here should give you some clues though:

10

I'm setting up a headless server, but I don't have ethernet access where I want to put it, so I need it to automatically connect to my WiFi network when it boots up (it has a wireless card). I can connect to an ethernet connection to set it up, but I need it to automatically connect to my access ...

It is 'auto lo iface lo net loopback'

@NathanOsman That's what I was thinking.

@Seth Do you do a lot of photography?

9:52 PM

@AbhishekBhatia yes, you will need to add more lines to setup your ethernet card.

user136984

@edwinksl: Well, if you find out where I live I'll give you a cake! You can eat it in the cell. >;P

@NathanOsman I want to.

Oh... we're in the same boat then :P

@ParanoidPanda that'll be difficult

Okay, following the answer. It shows me no scan results when I tried iwlist wlo1 s.

user136984

9:54 PM

@edwinksl: Yes, and you probably should not attempt it because the last bit translates to I will call the police. :P

user136984

If some random person tracks me down on the internet and then comes to my door demanding cake. :P

@ParanoidPanda i wouldn't but i suggest you not dare people like this :P someday someone may just take up your challenge and make you eat your words

@Seth what if the scan renders no results?

@NathanOsman haha, yeah. I own a really old Panasonic camera and then my Moto G, but both do photography so bad I avoid using them just to keep my temper lol.

@AbhishekBhatia well you're using wired over wireless right?

user136984

@edwinksl: Well, I don't think anybody would be able to...

9:57 PM

@Seth I'm looking to get a DSLR... but I don't really know a lot about what to look for.

I understand more about the physics of photography than the practical aspects :D

@ParanoidPanda never say never to a sufficiently determined adversary

2

@NathanOsman I probably don't know much more than you do. I want to get one as well, but it will be several more years before I can afford it. They're expensive!

user136984

You've just increased my paranoia up by a notch. :P

I do know a good place to buy used ones though.. That might make it more doable.

@Seth sry not sure what that means. I am trying to connect to my modem both via WiFi and lancable whichever works.

9:58 PM

@Seth I thought so too but Walmart is selling Canon T5s for less than $500 now. They include the lenses and accessories you need to get started.

@ParanoidPanda :D

user136984

@edwinksl: Well, then they will be lucky enough to meet the tip of my sword. >:P

@NathanOsman Whoa. That's a pretty good deal!

...yeah, and that's Canadian $ too.

Wow!

9:59 PM

I imagine it's even cheaper in USD.

@ParanoidPanda so basically a bad deal for both parties in the end :(

@NathanOsman Yep.

user136984

Yes

user136984

Although Fabby has come the closest to tracking me down. :P

user136984

He got real close actually.

9:59 PM

@AbhishekBhatia I don't have time to walk you through it now, I don't think. My only other suggestion would be to get a USB drive and download the kubuntu network manager from another computer.

And no, that's not my postal code :P

WHOA

$346 USD.

IKR?

@NathanOsman Canadian postal codes are weird :P

10:00 PM

I concur.

In the US it is just a 5 digit number.

are the canadian postal codes supposed to resemble the british ones

@edwinksl No idea - I've never been to the UK :)

user136984

You know, this is really creepy, not when you first look at it, but when you notice something about it:

@Seth Yup, zip codes work better.

user136984

10:02 PM

The fact that it looks like a giant tarantula?

WAT.

user136984

@Nathan: Great, now you've made it worse... I just thought it was a man at first... :P

It was on clearance at a nearby store for $398 and sold out?

:(

Wardruna - Helvegen (The Way To Hel)

$449 is still a great deal.

user136984

Interesting music though:

user136984

10:04 PM

I'll check some of the other stores.

It's annoying that Walmart won't list more than four nearby stores.

I have to make up postal codes to check other stores.

really? That's terrible.

10:18 PM

@NathanOsman C$746.99 ebay.ca/itm/…

for the T5i

@Zacharee1 $599 here: bccamera.com/digital-slrs-canon/?sort=price

gasp askubuntu.com/questions/815555/…

(Just the body though.)

@NathanOsman yeah, but look at what that eBay thing comes with

O_o

user136984

10:20 PM

@Zacharee1: What is it with people here and flowers at the moment? The moment @Anwar switched away from them you switched to them! :D

@ParanoidPanda well I took mine

Terrance

@Zacharee1 Well, nice pic then. :)

:p

@Zacharee1 hola amigo time to practice your spanish

@Terrance are you Panda's other personality?

Terrance

10:21 PM

@Zacharee1 The world will never know. :P

@edwinksl nonono, look. Their first question, no edits, AND IT'S GOT BOTH LANGUAGES

SO WE CAN FIX IT!

user136984

@Zacharee1: Makes me think of this a little. :P

but is the translation accurate

user136984

Those flowers look like something with a face from a distance. :D

@edwinksl no, it's Google as usual, but they knew that we were English only, but also knew to keep the original

user136984

10:22 PM

It's got a nose and everything.

@ParanoidPanda uh

user136984

But it is a nice picture when I see it properly. :)

it's the cropped version

@ParanoidPanda does your postal code start with N

N0T Y3S

user136984

10:29 PM

@edwinksl: No

aww

@ParanoidPanda he's tracking you down

i in fact found something

all public records

user136984

Well, I'd rather he didn't.

user136984

@edwinksl: Well please don't share it.

user136984

10:30 PM

Great, I should have never suggested this. It was a joke you know.

but i can't be sure. point is that a lot of things are public

user136984

Are you just search for my name or what?

beyond that

user136984

Meaning?

not sure if we want to discuss this in detail in a publicly archived chat

user136984

10:32 PM

No, I would prefer if we didn't.

also i can't know for sure if i even got it right... maybe i am fooling myself

user136984

Most likely the case.

:D

user136984

But let's not find out...

@ParanoidPanda I found where you are hiding!

4

Terrance

10:35 PM

Nice!

user136984

@Nathan: Oh no! You got me! :D

@NathanOsman You just made the Panda more paranoid. :D

:)

user136984

10:53 PM

Right, well...

user136984

Goodnight folks! I'm stuck up my tree! ;)

Good Night! :)

11:04 PM

Hi Hey

I respect you ~~Nathan Osman~~ Serg because you know python. :D

CodeX

hyperterm.org looks nice but for mac

11:35 PM

Would anyone object to me making a Q&A about AMD on 16.04?

Something like:

huh why would we

i like to upvote good Q&As

Q: I upgraded to or installed 16.04, but there are no drivers in the Additional Drivers app. What do I do?

A: stuff here about general performance on open source, general info about why no more fglrx, what can be done about it, available drivers, etc

@Seth what do you think about that ^

i say just do it

k

at most you get downvoted by you-know-who

11:38 PM

yeah...

I'm gonna try to include the potential for OK performance

i see, covering all bases
