It is just a royal pain for people that don't use or don't want to use Facebook.

Q: ubuntu 10.11 won't work with display

lexwhat gives? I plugged it in to my hdmi and it works fine. its an hp pavilion and ran vista. btw, “It does not meet our quality standards” is a bullshit statement and not every helpful. as far as doing my homework, I haven't found anyone with my issue.

17:21
Yup, that is a very special version of Ubuntu. It is called 10.11 Tiny Typo.

@JorgeCastro Sure.
i actually need that for my own loco's activities, so I have a special interest in doing that.
Oh hey @jrg thanks for that idea!
jrg
jrg
Heh, go for it.
Now I know what I can do at my micro LoCo meetup. :)
jrg
jrg
Almost all my ideas are cc0, so run with it. :D
(that was a bad joke btw)
17:27
Mr. Big Stuff.. Who do you think you are?
@JorgeCastro just the eight links in my AU profile (the first three get the most hits)
htorque the Ubunut hunter. :D

17:32
my son is 2, can curse is 2 languages (english and portuguese) but is too shy to say hello to new people he meets. dont know why but he makes me proud anyways \o/
That is totally against the CoC!
CoC??? Stop using acronyms, I demand it! (brb)
Wait, I just realized that you said he is two! He can curse at two years?
yeah, and a lot more ;)
CoC == Code of Conduct. :)

@BrunoPereira WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt......
that is so wrong. :P
@BrunoPereira my brothers son (just turned 5 yesterday) knew how to swear in english and portuguese by two as well... I think it's the pork-chop in him :P
mother is portuguese my brother and I are native american .
is native Romanian
Great answer: Difference between 'dir' and 'ls' terminal commands? http://askubuntu.com/questions/103913/difference-between-dir-and-ls-terminal-commands/103917#103917 #terminal
uber full case now.
my GPU hangs into my HDD 'bay', I had to do away with my smaller HDD :<
my PS is almost touching my DVD RW
17:54
whaat @jrg is one of the most active users, and just as he gets moderator he goes offline -.- ;)
That is why I prefer a big tower. ;)
i have one at home... ^ work pc
ugh. I can see the picture on my cloud folder... and ubuntu one says i'm 'up to date' but the picture is not downloaded.
how do I force a sync with ubuntu one.
dc'd and rc'd. crosses fingers
@rlemon you write your own code.
fruits of my labours!
@Alvar what do you mean?
Wanna see what I got my hands on today? :D
17:57
@rlemon write your own cloud service! ;) then you will be shore when it works ;)
is cooking
s/shore/sure
Yes, that is right, two CPUs. :)
Two Intel Xeons.
@rlemon portuguese are all over the world ;)
The Graphic card is a NVIDIA Quadro FX something.
never meet one with lemon as last name tough ;)
18:00
@OctavianDamiean my dad's mac pro also has 2 xeons ...
@OctavianDamiean nothing special with 2 xeons, it's standard!
;)
My i5 2500K works well enough. (pumped up to 4.1 without any additional cooling)
Standard my ***. :D
2
Two CPUs ain't standard. :P
^ more awesome than any pc
18:01
@OctavianDamiean in an mac pro it is! ;)
Oh, nice. @rlemon
However I admit that I'd totally love to have such a G5 case.
@OctavianDamiean :P
@OctavianDamiean the full aluminum case or the older one?
The manufacturing quality of Apple products is top notch. No doubt.
The full aluminum one.
:)
then I will leave the discussion when we agree on something...
I could get one for 99€.
I'd rip out the old hardware and replace it with my stuff. :D
Then I'd have a nice looking case.
@rlemon I have just found a local computer store called mylemon :P
18:09
@OctavianDamiean btw my gpu is a GeForce 9800 GTX +
Just like my old one.
@OctavianDamiean lol
good little (big) gpu
except mine looks nothing like the pictures.
lol
mine looks closer to the 580, but it 100% is the 9800 gtx+
Now I have a GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
I likely won't upgrade any time soon.. don't need much GPU for minecraft or Diablo 2
True that. :)
I actually just bought it because I need the smell of new hardware once in a while.
18:39
Hi, I'm looking for a good question for how to install Sun's JRE version 6 in Oneiric or Precise; I see a bunch of "closed as duplicate" questions
I prefer to use openjdk but unfortunately the replicatorg app doesn't work right with it and Oracle doesn't really recommend normal people use Java 7 yet
ugh.. someone keeps breaking into my mailbox and stealing my mail.. and i finally caught them!
I'd prefer a PPA as I don't want to have to update Java manually
neighbor witnessed it! so now I get to call the police and have this chick arrested.

Q: How to install Oracle Java JDK 6?

Praveen SripatiMost of the s/w are not thoroughly tested with JDK 7 and I would like to install Oracle JDK 6.0 on Ubuntu 11.10. Could someone please provide me the instructions for the same?

I know that it is a JDK question and not JRE but still.
You get the JRE when you install the JDK.
Ah, this is what I was looking for: duinsoft.nl/packages.php
Who was it that was complaining that everything gets released in non-US countries before getting released in the US?
Clearly someone that doesn't really know.
19:16
What's the difference between the normal Askubuntu and the meta one?
Ask Ubuntu is for question about Ubuntu and Ask Ubuntu Meta is for question about Ask Ubuntu itself. ;)
oh
that's simple
The more users participate on Meta the better, so make sure to check it out.
how do I apply for the beta?
ok
What beta? Do you mean Meta?
19:19
for Askubuntu
You don't have to sign up. Just start reading, ask questions, answer questions or comment there as well. Just like on the main site (Ask Ubuntu).
where is it located?
oh sorry, we are talking about 2 different things
19:23
ok wait, nvrm, I figured it out
What were you referring to?
there was a "participating in the beta" badge, and I love betas (I use everything beta/alpha :P), so I was wondering how it was possible to participate in it
Oh!
Well it is too late for that, but not too late for participating in the Meta. :D
it's gone, right?
ok
dang, I can't get something unstable! :P
It wasn't unstable actually.
19:28
Hey cool - Qt displays a progress bar in the taskbar on Windows.
jrg
jrg
@Alvar I'm always busy on thursday. Its my "lets get something other than ask ubuntu done" day. :)
I'm just always busy but never actually get something done at the end of the day. :D
jrg you participate in other activities? ;)
@jrg My plan is always, ok today I will not go in to askubuntu, that always ends badly..
is writing code
19:45
is pretending to write code
@OctavianDamiean is a fan of my activities
@octavianD is Lying
is watching Star Trek TNG and coding
is waiting for Alien vs. Predator 2 to begin
20:08
@RolandTaylor vs Predator.
I need help with RGB colors
I need to create a grey shadow, what RGB color could that shadow be in?
Depends on the shade.
@OctavianDamiean well, I will decrease it in 4 layers, anyone got a tool for finding the "correct" layers of grey?
Correct layers of grey?
Huh?
20:16
sry stupid question...
for finding different variations of grey?
@OctavianDamiean bookmarked! :D
thanks! :D
There is another nice site. colorsontheweb.com
20:27
Bounty offered: Internet connectivity indicator http://askubuntu.com/questions/100306/internet-connectivity-indicator #unity
@OctavianDamiean yea i've been using that one for a while.
what I need right now is a slick form designer.. I hate doing webforms.
I try and I fail.
I hate that as well.
yeah my shadow failed! but I'll fix it tomorrow #NOT ! :P
20:44
when will package freeze for 12.04 be? soon, right?
Yup.
I think in two hours. :)
Wait, no 21:00 UTC.
That is actually in nine minutes. :P
21:06
no more features, now waiting for 12.10 :P
@htorque no more features without exceptions given
right
it's a little easier if it's a new package rather than trying to get something in that other things depend on

Q: Ubuntu 11.10 Server: create user, home directory, sudo privileges: command line only

JustinXXVIII have a rackspace server and I'm having problems with configuration. I need to lock it down and throw away the key, because right now I can only login with root to do anything substantial. I also am set up on MySQL with my root username and password and would like to change this. I have create...

21:38
ok can someone make this look better / coded better :P jsfiddle.net/rlemon/7QggS/5

@rlemon You should use jQuery.
I'd have had that done in four lines.
@Oli 4 lines on top of the monolithic library
i'm not using jQuery for anything else, so i wont be using it in the forms.
i'm mostly talking about the css/html
tables + id's for styling === yuck. (but I gave up trying to do it properly)
Oli
Oli
jQuery would fix that
WEBSCALE!
dude i'm not using jQuery :P

Some might say I've had too much caffeine today. I say not enough-RAAAA-GET-AWAY-FROM-MY-MUG!!one

/me checks out.
jrg
jrg
Interesting tag there.
Didn't we already agree to burninate that one?
jrg
jrg
i think that was bug.
Bug, error, freeze and speed.
I don't have words to express how much I dislike the idea to have one question where we gather tag synonym requests.
jrg
jrg
Let me check meta and see if there was any serious dissent, and then i'll bring it up for burninate.
I don't like it either, but at least we're doing alright with it. :\

A: Tag synonym suggestions

moberleyEveryone please feel free to add tag synonyms here if you're having a hard time getting a synonym pushed through: Tag Synonyms grub <- grub-error application-submission <- application-review-board package-management <- packages networking <- connectivity <- connection <- conn...

There, I had to search a lot more than necessary just to find that.
* it :P
i don't get it...
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.
why do so many android applications want that?
in this case it's even just a game
Because that is also the only way to get the IMEI which is used to generate a unique hash.
i don't see how the majority of the applications i checked out would need that
on ubuntu 11.10 how do i tell which window has the focus?
The Android API is not really what one would call well designed. You need that permission for a lot of things in Android.
22:27
permission control should be more fine-grained then... :-/
I don't even care anymore, I dropped Android completely.
most games require that permission
i think to identify the phone
that's why i got almost no games on the phone (scummvm does only need to modify storage ;-)) :P
you drooped android for what octavia?
was a professional Android developer
22:29
oh okay
i thought you meant as a user
I'm playing around with Python and JavaScript now. :)
i'd love to see a filter for permissions in the android market :P
like: [x] Don't display crappy applications. >:-)
jrg
jrg
@htorque the permissions system is one thing from android I wish iOS had.
have to check out ubuntu one
22:32
Ubuntu One is awesome. Install it! Do it now! :D
2
jrg
jrg
Because honestly, the whole path and uploading address book data without permission debacle could have been avoided.
i don't see how letting a game developer know all my phone data is such a big difference :P
@OctavianDamiean at least an android application where i know where to complain about bugs. :P
22:47
goooood night! :-)
Night everyone.
Night.
hello?

Hello @ThomasWard
you need to respond to your privmsgs on IRC more often :/
jrg
jrg
23:02
I need to check IRC since this morning. :P
askubuntu.com/questions/104898/mass-effect-2-installation - am I the only one who thinks this stinks of piracy?
nope
the only problem is the buttons dont work on this evil internet exploiter, so i cant do anything
i'm not sure how i'd even flag the thing
<flag:ModAttentionOther>This thing stinks of piracy!</flag>
:P
AskUbuntu conforms to the policies as written in the ubuntu CoC right?
jrg
jrg
Yes.
thought so.
but a tidbit of moderation advice:
you may be a moderator, but randomly deleting topics, even when others in teh community agree with you, is not the best thing to do.
take a page from the other moderators: make a note about it, and watch the thing.
if you had waited 5 minutes, i'd have flagged it (just loaded up Chrome to do so)
/me ran into this in 15 other sites which he actively moderated, not Askubuntu, but the same concept applies
perhaps @Oli should comment on that... :P
jrg
jrg
Oops. ok, lesson learned. makes note to self
now i wasted 4 minutes loading up Chrome... what the hell am i going to do now
ooh, i know
siphons 4 minutes of life out of @jrg by locking @jrg in a room with continual nyancat playing.
jrg
jrg
23:15
@ThomasWard AHHHHG. thats painful.
and cruel.
:P
i forgot to mention its got 6 different speakers playing 6 instances of nyancat simultaneously...
now that is ultimate cruelty
argh, why does my econ instructor want me to print out a thousand-page budget document >.>
THAT'LL COST OVER $60 TO PRINT!
minus the botched js jsfiddle.net/rlemon/7QggS working :P
no tables. no id's for css styling :)
Oli
Oli
@ThomasWard Scale it down! 16 sheets on 1, double-sided printing.
Or change the font to 1pt
@Oli its a PDF
of the state executive budget
kinda hard :/
Oli
Oli
Well you can't edit the font but most printers will let you resize the sheet size so you get more than one page on a sheet of paper.
23:24
@Oli if this were my own computer, i'd agree
its not...
its a campus system which needs to burn
Oli
Oli
Can you send the file? I mean I could just bling you back a minimised version as a PDF
@Oli not with restricted permissions
they restrict permissions here
</displeased>
nah, i cant, unfortunately. too big for email
Oli
Oli
I didn't mean to edit that. Oh well.
i guess i'll spend 10 days printing out 100 pages per day, and just put it all into one of my credit cards
either that or get my econ instructor to pay
actually...
Oli
Oli
Argl. 6 points from breaking my daily rep record.
23:27
i could just go down to the Capitol building, walk in, and say "Hi, I need a copy of the budget, printed. Please provide this to me. Kthanxbai."
@Oli you got an upvote
Oli
Oli
Hooray!
actually you got three
:P
wow i made a lot of rep in the past week o.O
The Ubuntu News Room is now ready! Drumroll please...

 Ubuntu News

This room has died. The new room is at chat.stackexchange.com/...
It collects news from various RSS feeds so you can comment on and discuss it.
I am currently waiting for the room to populate and for people to join
jrg
jrg
Does that serve a purpose? We already discuss most of the really interesting stuff here... shrug
i could ask the same about the meme room
23:39
Hey!
irrelevant channels are irrelevant, imo
Me likes the Meme room!
and we dont really need additional news feed aggregation
jrg
jrg
True. we just keep memes out of the regulators room, otherwise it turns into a mess.
I think it serves a purpose - news is good.
23:40
tell that to my emails - i get 2500 "news" articles a day
i'm sick of news, i actually ignore all the feeds on ask ubuntu for that reason
jrg
jrg
tell that to my rss, i get 200+ ubuntu things alone a day. :P
I'm not.
jrg
jrg
comes from subscribing to so many tags so I can keep an eye on them.
I just haven't removed them yet.
23:41
well, @jrg, your second act as a moderator that i have witnessed is to resolve this debate...
:P
notices that he forgot to print some of the thousand-page document, swears, and then diverts his attention to that

Let it be, the community can decide about it. if its useful, it will be populated and discussed - otherwise, it'll be left alone, and the system will freeze it.
You just said the naughty word - freeze!
Freeze - the fear of any room owner.
