@Terrance Oh, I meant that's where the page I gave you redirects to.

Terrance

@NathanOsman Silly me

@NathanOsman Let me do that one

My bad!

Zacharee1

wut

@Zacharee1 Actually that's a question for Philosophy channels. I call it Mental modules. From there is you could be inspired to answer me this long response in a sentiment which you believe to be positive. Who knows if that should be screwed. But I consider other facts that would be too much if you are at work or something. Whatever else I'll be later @ chat if that's not out of topic. — userDepth 1 min ago

and so it begins

wtf

Terrance

@NathanOsman Here, this is where it goes:

Nathan Osman

Thanks.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

Zacharee1

what is going on

Terrance

00:03

@NathanOsman Sorry about the first one.

Nathan Osman

Seems like one of my client's sites was compromised.

@Terrance No worries.

Terrance

My misunderstanding

Nathan Osman

One more thing, if you don't mind.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman ooh fun

Terrance

OK

Nathan Osman

00:04

Could you please find the user agent by visiting this page in the browser? useragentstring.com

Then hopefully I can reproduce this locally.

...and see how bad things are.

Terrance

Zacharee1

@Terrance paste the string ;p

@NathanOsman we might need a kick on David :/

Nathan Osman

@Terrance Thanks!

I appreciate it.

David Cole - Grammar Police

XDD

Nathan why!!!

Kaz Wolfe

Because.

STOP IT.

David Cole - Grammar Police

00:09

ONO

Edity

Thanks you.

MORE MODS

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman I think I can chat in the frozen room?

Kaz Wolfe

explicit write please @NathanOsman. I'm trying to help and stay rational.

Byte Commander

Nice. Now we attracted mods from everywhere because you guys can't keep talking without need to get flagged.

Serg

00:10

Anyone who know how to get window title in Python Gtk / Gdk ?

Zacharee1

that was weird...

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe I only froze it for a moment.

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander I thought I was being calm :(

@Zacharee1 I'm not talking about you, obviously.

Terrance

00:11

The String

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander but, "everyone" ;P

Nathan Osman

@Terrance Super helpful. Thanks again!

Terrance

@NathanOsman You're welcome!

OK all, offline here. Gotta go do that driving thing. Have fun all!

Nathan Osman

WOW. This site has really been compromised.

Backdoor and everything.

Zacharee1

lolz

chaskes

00:13

@Serg Look at the edit and comments on that question. <sheesh>

Zacharee1

1337 h4xx0r 4 reallz

Serg

@chaskes link plz

Edity

I got a bluetooth headset.

edwinksl

@AMD you don't have to paste that here

let's just keep it to that room

Serg

@chaskes ok, found it, saw the edit. Interesting error. I'd check if 14.04 is supported :/

Nathan Osman

00:18

This needs to be nuked from orbit.

Serg

well . . .nevermind , stupid idea

chaskes

@Serg I believe the problem is he's still trying to use the graphical installer which is platform specific. I may have overreacted, but an edit that really made it a new question kind of peeved me.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman wut

Byte Commander

@Edity The first second after switching back to the chat tab, I thought "What the heck does this thong there!?"

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 This compromised WordPress instance.

Edity

00:20

O_O

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman ah

Nathan Osman

I just need to find a quick way of shutting it down while I clean things.

Serg

@chaskes what's the Oracle developer studio for ? SQL ?

ah, that's IDE for C-like languages

Edity

I just took off the headset.

Very comfy :D

chaskes

@Serg Yeah, it appears to be a super hepped up version of Netbeans

Edity

00:23

(that's because I haven't took of the peeling things yet)

chaskes

Like an Oracle version of Eclipse

Kaz Wolfe

gah.

why is dealing with users so much pain sometimes?

edwinksl

drama on friday nights

what more could one ask for?

Kaz Wolfe

@AMD Who are you?

Not having to talk to @DavidCole-GrammarPolice and @Edity about their actions.

Edity

? ? ?

AMD

00:29

Who am I? WHO ARE YOU? @KazWolfe

Kaz Wolfe

I am @KazWolfe, formerly @Whaaaaaat

Serg

edwinksl

@Serg possibly more true than it seems

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman Mark isn't willing, but could you make the room a gallery and make Kaz and me ROs or give us write access?

Serg

I need to take a backup of all the useful functions I use in my python coding stuff

edwinksl

00:35

@Serg also put it in a nice module and maybe also put it in le githubz for lazy people like me

Serg

@edwinksl I just might consider doing that . . . if only i can beat my own laziness XD

edwinksl

maybe even put it in pypi and i can do pip install serg :p

Zacharee1

Why can't I invite userDepth to a room?

Byte Commander

And then in Python from Serg import * :D

Zacharee1

wtf

ohhh

stupid JS

edwinksl

00:40

@ByteCommander import *? nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Byte Commander

;-)

Edity

I'mma back!

Zacharee1

the count down on timeout rooms is realy annoying

Edity

I know

edwinksl

pretty obnoxious but i think that's the point

Edity

00:44

It forces BSOD on my Win8 VM

AMD

@Zacharee1 I want to help.

Kaz Wolfe

yeah, you guys deserved it.

Zacharee1

@AMD from what I've seen, no

AMD

...

Windows 3.1

@KazWolfe gah!!!

Edity

00:44

i was afk when timeout happend

@Windows3.1 Are u sure that wasn't malware?

AMD

@Zacharee1 I can help D:

Edity

My firewall blocked it saying "malware"

Windows 3.1

@Edity absolutely positively sure

Edity

RIP james tobin

Zacharee1

@AMD you've shown the opposite

Windows 3.1

00:45

@Edity you are mixed up with the old youareanidiot virus. youareanidiot.org is 100% safe for all OS's

Edity

It still blocks me

Windows 3.1

@Edity it is not malware. Look it up on google

AMD

@Zacharee1 How so? After the OP left I drifted off because there was no point in continuing the discussion.

Windows 3.1

answers.com/Q/Is_youareanidiot_org_safe?#slide=5

Zacharee1

@AMD you also did during it. And just because the target of discussion leaves doesn't mean the room can go to sht

Windows 3.1

00:46

It used to be malware b4 '09 but it isnt any more

AMD

@Zacharee1 Sorry bout that, I tried to stay on topic, I'll make sure to <3

@Edity

Edity

AFK

Zacharee1

@AMD you can come back to the original room when the timeout is over, but both @KazWolfe and I will be "using kicks liberally"

AMD

@Zacharee1 Oh great

edwinksl

00:48

@AMD then you have to try harder

AMD

How do I try when I'm never given a chance to prove myself?

Edity

Remind me to never go into user??? discussion

Kaz Wolfe

Because you weren't trying.

You had one good post and the rest was noise.

AMD

I was trying!

edwinksl

@AMD then, like i said, you have to try harder

AMD

00:49

But where

Also who started this btw?

Zacharee1

@AMD you were given about 15 minutes to prove yourself. AU General can go as OT as it wants, but the other room is strictly on topic

AMD

I was not informed of that until after the fact. Not too fair if you ask me @Zacharee1

Zacharee1

@AMD Take a look at the star board there. It's very nearly full of "STAY ON TOPIC"

edwinksl

@AMD wouldn't it be reasonable to assume you should stay on-topic unless otherwise stated?

seems to be a fair assumption in any conversation in life

Okay is this just be mean to AMD day? D:

Zacharee1

Jesus Christ guys xD

@AMD no, it's tell you how to use the site day

AMD

I know how to use the damned site, okay?

Kaz Wolfe

00:56

Shall we drag you off to the UIC?

AMD

Wut

Zacharee1

Where did this Moderator Mode I have come from?

Where am I getting all this formal speech?

HALP

Edity

?

?

AMD

Oh, @KazWolfe I'm just not gonna talk in that room, because you guys will find a way to see it off topic and kick me

Edity

@KazWolfe what's UIC?

Kaz Wolfe

01:01

The User Improvement Center.

The place we take users when they need encouragement to go down a different path

AMD

:/

Edity

oh okay

imma try not to be dragged to the UIC

AMD

Nor am I

Edity

@AMD there is a 70% chance of you goin'

Kaz Wolfe

the UIC is voluntary, for one, and it's meant to help.

nobody is forced into the UIC. We just kindly ask you in for a quick chat to help make you better.

AMD

01:03

Can I make a bot to translate Spanish to English then post in chat

Edity

;)

@AMD Your choice

IanC

evening

Edity

hello ;3

how's dat kernel going?

Serg

Evening Ian !

Zacharee1

@AMD Not even Google does translations well. have fun

AMD

01:10

Yeahhhhh

IanC

@Edity I started over, just didn't have time to compile it yet, if I start right now I'll have to wait it finish to go sleep haha

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman does kick-muting actually remove the user from the room or just mute them

IanC

and I plan on surfing early tomorrow

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 I've never had to do that.

So I honestly don't know.

Zacharee1

welp

AMD

01:11

@KazWolfe Would asking him to run the classic updates be a good idea?

Edity

@IanC hahahaha.

AMD

see if any new drivers get pushed?

Edity

Oh well

Serg

Ain't no one in the lab but

ME

spoopy scawwy

IanC

@Serg I don't think the OP liked my answer on code review, no upvote so far and he choose another answer :/

Zacharee1

01:12

@Serg skeletons

IanC

the other answer found some math error in his calculations so I need to give him that

@NathanOsman, could I ask you a small doubt about LKM programming?

Serg

@Zacharee1 nooop !!!! somushnoop !!!

Nathan Osman

@IanC Sure.

Zacharee1

01:13

@NathanOsman would you mind stepping in with the troubleshooting? I'll add you as RO.

Serg

The building i am working at is known to have ghosts

Zacharee1

Kaz and I both need to be AFK for a bit

AMD

@Zacharee1 Troubleshooting?

Zacharee1

@Serg 3spooky5me

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 I've kinda got my hands full ATM.

Zacharee1

01:13

hmm

maybe @Serg?

Serg

@Zacharee1 @NathanOsman what ?

IanC

@NathanOsman I'm planning on following the tldp.org tutorials, and in the introduction there's a paragraph about modversioning that says:

1.2.1.1. Modversioning

A module compiled for one kernel won't load if you boot a different kernel unless you enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in the kernel. We won't go into module versioning until later in this guide. Until we cover modversions, the examples in the guide may not work if you're running a kernel with modversioning turned on. However, most stock Linux distro kernels come with it turned on. If you're having trouble loading the modules because of versioning errors, compile a kernel with modversioning turned off.

Zacharee1

I thought you were here for this @Serg chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/45827/…

Serg

@IanC ha, you're reading the module programming book !

I was looking at it yesterday

Zacharee1

Someone RTFMed!?!

IanC

01:16

I got a little confused, wether CONFIG_MODVERSIONS should be enabled or disabled to be able to follow up with those tutorials (that could be aimed to an older kernel). First I thought it should be enabled, but then he says

most stock Linux distro kernels come with it turned on. If you're having trouble ... compile a kernel with modversioning turned off

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 lelel

Zacharee1

lel

IanC

but isn't the whole point of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to make modules compatible with newer kernels? @NathanOsman

@Serg I didn't read much though, didn't even type a hello world yet haha

actually, this tutorial is one of the main reasons for me trying to compile a new kernel

Nathan Osman

@IanC I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with how that works.

edwinksl

@IanC how long does it take to compile the kernel

IanC

01:19

@NathanOsman it's cool, thanks anyways! I think I'll compile a kernel with this modversioning turned off, since the distro's kernel has it turned on. So if I have trouble with one of the kernel I try the other one :p

@edwinksl around 4~6 hours including the modules compilation

Serg

@IanC how many cores you have on your CPU ?

IanC

I think 6 hours is being really pessimist

2 cores @Serg

Serg

Same here. Obviously on quad core it's better

IanC

yeah, I've heard someone say here they could compile in like an hour

Evening Everyone! Someone told me to ping him if I had an answer but I'm a little ping-challenged... any helpful suggestions?

Downgoat

Hello .o/

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Hello Downgoat... your name a play on "down vote"?

Downgoat

I guess it is though I'm not sure how I came up with it :P

It just happened one day

Serg

Hi, there

Downgoat

in The Nineteenth Byte, Nov 25 '15 at 1:40, by Vɪʜᴀɴ

My user name is now Downgoat, I'm going to regret this for the rest of the month.

Turns out I didn't regret it for the rest of the month and am still not regretting it (almost a year now) :D

WinEunuuchs2Unix

01:31

I regretted my name 18 months ago :(

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 Watched youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q yet?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You know you can change your name?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Hi Serg... how would I ping Elder Geek? He wanted me to let him know an answer to touchpad glitch.

Zacharee1

@Downgoat I can take care of that...

@WinEunuuchs2Unix @ElderGeek

tada...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Byte, yes last time I was here someone said I could change my name but didn't say how...lol

@EdlerGeek see this thread like you asked: askubuntu.com/questions/671910/…

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix use tab complete. It'll avoid typos like that

WinEunuuchs2Unix

01:33

thanks @Zacharee1 you're always around

@ElderGeek you asked for a ping on this thread: askubuntu.com/questions/671910/…

Byte Commander

@WinEunuuchs2Unix askubuntu.com/users/edit/307523

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Thanks @ByteCommander now I just need a name :(

Serg

@WinEunuuchs2Unix just ping him on the question itself. I don't see him in chat a lot

Kaz Wolfe

o/ @Downgoat

Edity

hello

Byte Commander

01:35

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Remember you may only change your name once every 30 days at most.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg Oh you mean just link him in comment. I thought ping was different infrastructure you know like PING facebook.com

@ByteCommander I don't have a good enough imagination to change more than 30 days. I just want something simple and sweet and keep it a long time.

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix pinging here means "@username"

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Zacharee1 thanks for simplifying that.

Byte Commander

It's late here, good night.

Kaz Wolfe

bye other wolf

WinEunuuchs2Unix

01:37

Night, don't let the Byte the bed bugs.

Kaz Wolfe

this chat has a lot of wolves. i like this.

Edity

WinEunuuchs2Unix

The wolf reference reminds me of chat rooms 15 years ago...

edwinksl

Byte Commander

Asimov's Cosmic AC was created by linking all datacenters through hyperspace, which explains a lot. It didn't reverse entropy--it just discarded the universe when it reached end-of-life and ordered a new one.

I think I'll hit the bed, will probably not manage to sleep this "early", but I need to wake up at 7 so I need to at least try
