I don't know what that guy is doing, but it looks like a really bad idea: askubuntu.com/q/862949/367990

Zanna

It's just sudo's secure path thing

they are getting the wrong python because that local dir is before /usr/bin in their path

(you're supposed to do that with anaconda right?) (vague recollection of @edwinksl answering a question about it)

here's their real problem askubuntu.com/questions/862940/problems-on-gomp-4-0

we can fix this folks...

edwinksl

anaconda puts its python interpreter in front of the one in /usr/bin by default

so you are right about sudo being a hack

that ln -s "solution" is also a hack

but it is also late, so i will let you all deal with this snakey problem

Zanna

@edwinksl I don't know what they should do - they need to install the module in anaconda?

I don't know how to do it

anyways, catch you later :)

Idk how to tame anacondas either. I only know ordinary pythons...

Q: What happens to hats at the end of the Winter Bash?

The question says it all - do we get to keep them or do they go away?

A: What happens to hats at the end of the Winter Bash?

At the end of the season hats are collected from all Stack Exchange users, loaded onto special private planes and shipped to war torn parts of the world to give some cheer and warm the heads of the victims of violence. Here are some of the happy children from last year: No, the hats simply d...

@IanC evening (?) :)

IanC

@Zanna still 7:40am here, just got back from work, what time is it in England?

Zanna

9:44 AM

09:43 - do you mean 7:40pm?

because for sure Brasil is more than 2 hrs behind?

IanC

I thought it was more too, but I just realized we are in GMT-3, +1 hour from summer time :p

Zanna

wow!

morning!

IanC

christmas got close really fast (actually, I think this whole year went by pretty fast)

spending the holidays on your hometown with your folks @Zanna?

Zanna

@IanC yeah for a few days at least :) what about you?

IanC

I got lucky this year, my days off starts tomorrow and goes up to christmas eve, so I'm meeting my parents and we are going to my aunts house :)

Zanna

9:57 AM

IanC

actually just up to christmas eve, I'm gonna have to spend news year here because I'll work on 1st Jan

Zanna

(PS to non-English-L1 folks: you're right, stuff is uncountable, I am using incorrect grammar as a kind of crappy humour)

@IanC awww

IanC

@profile101 Did you extract the .zip file? Are you running make build_dev inside the project folder?

profile 101

yes @IanC thanks a lot, your comment mean getting water in desert, i updated question, please check update part in question....

arda

ugh i upgraded to 16.10, and gpg wiped my priv keys. Had to reimport.

IanC

can you run ls on the folder you are running make build_dev in and write the output here on chat? @profile101

profile 101

@IanC pls check above image

IanC

I see, this file you downloaded isn't the project, it's Composer, which is supposed to install the dependencies of the project you're trying to install @profile101

profile 101

11:03 AM

@IanC i downloaded from here : github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf

IanC

you downloaded it from getcomposer.org/installer, this is a PHP dependency manager

the instructions to install it are here getcomposer.org/download

after you install it, you have to download the GitHub project, unzip it and then run make build_dev there

oh, it might be installed already when you ran curl https://getcomposer.org/installer | php, try downloading the TCPDF and installing it @profile101

profile 101

okay you are telling i downloaded wrong zip file @IanC , okay i will check and let you know......

IanC

you didn't download the wrong zip file, you downloaded Composer, which takes care of PHP dependencies, you need it to install TCPDF, but then you need to download TCPDF itself.. @profile101

wget github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf/archive/develop.zip
unzip develop.zip
cd tc-lib-pdf-develop
make build_dev

^ On the folder you want to install it @profile101

Q: What to do with obsolete question?

I asked a question some time earlier. I didn't get any answers, but by now I found out that the question itself is obsolete, because the problem isn't a Ubuntu config error, but rather a hardware issue. I've since edited the question to reflect this, but I was wondering what the right practice wo...

discussion unanswered-questions

profile 101

i will try above commands @IanC

@IanC pls check above image

IanC

11:17 AM

I don't think it's finding composer, try running which composer and write the output here @profile101

profile 101

@IanC can you please tell how to find its running which composer

IanC

I mean, it's definitely not finding composer, you probably didn't install it right

profile 101

looks like i installed correctly when i used abov comands suggested by you

wget https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf/archive/develop.zip
unzip develop.zip
cd tc-lib-pdf-develop

IanC

try to follow the instructions here to install Composer and then start over

those commands didn't install anything, they just downloaded TCPDF source code

well, got to go, hardly had any sleep since yesterday, maybe someone more experienced with PHP can help you, but you should try installing composer first

profile 101

i will try @IanC thanks a lot

hi all please check this link : sbdev2.kidsdial.com:81/php/site6/tcpdf/examples/example_011.php , i can bale to download pdf in our server , is that means tcpdf is installed in our server ?

Mark Yisri

12:47 PM

what's wrong @profile101?

i can see it

Videonauth

here i can see it too

profile 101

i wanted to confirm whether it installed or not @MarkYisri is it correctly installed ?

Videonauth

@profile101 If you installed it correct, no one can tell you from here, all we can tell you is, that it displays the example pdf. You know we dont have glass balls here to guess your configuration

terdon

@profile101 how can we know if something is installed on your server?

You just told us to look at some random pdf file.

Journeyman Geek

> i can bale to download pdf in our server , is that means tcpdf is installed in our server ?

This completely does not parse.

profile 101

1:03 PM

thanks guys, is there any other way i can check "TCPDF" installed correctly or not.....

Byte Commander

@Videonauth "glass balls" sounds weird in English... :P

Videonauth

indeed it does

Byte Commander

It would also be "crystal ball" at least...

Videonauth

1:17 PM

@profile101 well now since you heard that it displays the pdf go on and test its function like downloading, bookmarking etc

profile 101

is downloading fine @Videonauth also rotating and other things loooks fine, but still not sure it is installed correctly or not

Videonauth

I think it is save to assume that you installed it correctly, since it works, but if you configured it correctly for your needs you only can confirm going through the donfig files and check them intensely for maybe mis-configurations, with that i cant help you as have now experience with tcpdf

profile 101

thanks @Videonauth i will update you regarding this soon.....

Byte Commander

@Zanna Jut in case you want to transcribe a video once again... askubuntu.com/questions/513435/…

Zanna

I got banned from reviewing for failing an audit - because I thought it was an audit, only the other kind of audit... Stupid me

good afternoon :)

nothing to review - I suspect people are hat-hunting in the review queues hehehe
