@rlemon yeah, check the modification time.

Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
    Vendor: X.Org (0x1002)
    Device: AMD PITCAIRN (DRM 2.49.0 / 4.10.0-13-generic, LLVM 4.0.0) (0x6810)

So, it doesn't look like amdgpu is in use.

Argh.

rlemon

@NathanOsman January 20th 😞

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman How did you get it to work the last time?

Nathan Osman

@rlemon Do you know it was working after that time?

rlemon

yup

Nathan Osman

18:01

@RolandiXor Just ran the installer from AMD.

rlemon

this is my main development machine

Nathan Osman

But it won't work in 17.04 because kernel 4.10.

Rinzwind

another blue flag in a foreign language :P

Nathan Osman

@rlemon That is extremely odd.

@Rinzwind Happens on occasion.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@Rinzwind Japanese in Russian room

Rinzwind

18:02

@NathanOsman 3rd time today

RolandiXor

That's why I stopped using AMD products - their driver support is abysmal and always far behind.

rlemon

@NathanOsman also my other desktop, also my laptop, also a touch pc that was just loaded with Ubuntu days before -- I had only updated it, installed postgres, and nodejs

😞 I'm really at a loss for what I could be doing to these poor pcs

current theory: someone is trying to prank me and succeeding

RolandiXor

@rlemon sounds like it.

Rinzwind

next update change the permissions to 000 and wait for something to error out >:)

RolandiXor

Unlikely for the same "bug" to happen on 4 systems in a couple days ;)

Thomas Ward

18:03

bleps and accidentally drops a massive container of whipped cream on @Rinzwind

Rinzwind

@rlemon you did change your password?

Thomas Ward

oopsies.

rlemon

that's why I'm not ruling out something I'm doing.

@Rinzwind all the pc's have different passwords

Rinzwind

@rlemon a w c and p?

rlemon

if that's a joke it's over my head. sorry.

Rinzwind

18:04

those are the passwords? >:)

rlemon

ahh. 😀 no, I'm not that insecure

Rinzwind

:D

RolandiXor

oh so they are two character passwords?

:>

Rinzwind

lol

@RolandiXor twice as secure as 1 letter passwords

rlemon

RolandiXor nahh, they increase as I go along. "12", "123", "1234", ...

RolandiXor

18:05

@Rinzwind hahaha

@rlemon xD

Uncrackable!

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@RolandiXor cool new pic

Rinzwind

oh that will put any hacker off :D

they never expect random lengths

rlemon

I should make my passphrase "totally not a hacker" just to throw them off

RolandiXor

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy thanks ;)

@rlemon my password is "DONOTCRACK!"

Thomas Ward

@rlemon "Totally not from the NSA" is the best passphrase lol

rlemon

18:07

but in all seriousness... getting this error so many times makes me uncomfortable to the point where I'm considering using Windows. I'm pretty desperate :P

RolandiXor

O_o

Thomas Ward

sorry i came in late, what error?

rlemon

13 mins ago, by rlemon

somethings out to get me it seems. 4 different pc's in a week have 'broken' somehow and I'm at a loss to figure out what I've done to them. sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set on all four. I've read the post on how to fix it, that's not the problem. I'm more concerned now because it isn't just random chance, I have to be doing something for this to happen to multiple machines with such frequency. does anyone have any idea where I can start looking?

Rinzwind

@ThomasWard sudo has to be guid 0 error

RolandiXor

@rlemon don't go full retard!

rlemon

18:08

@RolandiXor 😛 I didn't say mac

I said Windows :D

Rinzwind

oops uid!

TheXed

hi

Nathan Osman

hi

Thomas Ward

someone want to do an ls -alhF $(which sudo) please?

Rinzwind

@rlemon retract that statement or we will ignore you

Nathan Osman

18:08

Sure.

Rinzwind

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 138K jan 14 00:41 /usr/bin/sudo*

Nathan Osman

nathan@nathan-desktop:~$ ls -alhF $(which sudo)
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 138K Jan 13 15:41 /usr/bin/sudo*

rlemon

yea something changed mine to rlemon:root :(

Rinzwind

oh same minute @NathanOsman

Thomas Ward

@rlemon reboot into a root shell (init=/bin/bash at the end of your GRUB line for one boot), change the ownership, reboot.

Rinzwind

18:09

17.04. Installed this weekend btw

Nathan Osman

Installed last night :P

rlemon

@ThomasWard yup, I can fix it. just trying to track down why it's happening

Rinzwind

@rlemon you did that yourself from something that needed sudo

rlemon

4 times on 4 pc's in a week is too much to think it is a coincidence

@Rinzwind yea, but what :/

Thomas Ward

@rlemon using any scripts to maintain things?

or to autoinstall/configure things?

Rinzwind

18:10

@rlemon scripts. :=)

rlemon

the only thing I can think of is my node install script.

Thomas Ward

@rlemon link to your script please, I'm happy to help audit.

rlemon

hrm... maybe I'll go poke around that a bit and see if I've made any mistakes

Thomas Ward

my guess is it's the script.

For a one time fee of VIRTUAL COFFEE :P

Rinzwind

@rlemon install inotify and have it watch changes to the file

Thomas Ward

18:11

(brb 2 minutes, coffee ten feet away, and I need it)

Rinzwind

adict!

tomsk

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy please, what is good location to save your config files for your programs? :)

Rinzwind

@tomsk what is the nature of these programs and config files?

if per user I would use ./config/{softwarename}/{configfile}

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@tomsk what programs specifically ? Usually my indicators save all configs to user's home directory in .json format

tomsk

@Rinzwind im developing LLI like Sergiy did, but for KDE desktop

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

18:12

But yeah, better way is to use ~/.config like rinz said

Thomas Ward

@tomsk If it's a system program running at boot, probably in /etc/progname/confs, if per user, ~/.config/progname/conffile`

Rinzwind

@tomsk aha. does KDE have a ./config? :D

tomsk

yes does

Thomas Ward

@Rinzwind Yes it does

so does Lubuntu, XFCE, ...

Nathan Osman

So apparently you can't use amdgpu on 17.04 yet.

@Seth prepare for an influx of AMD questions when 17.04 is released...

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

18:13

sneaky smile . . . LLI will also have "rebirth" somewhere else,too . . .

Nathan Osman

:|

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

I've plans to create something . . .similar . . .somewhere else

Rinzwind

@tomsk what Thomas said for global I agree on too.

tomsk

im gonna use json format too.. but i dont know here to save it.. because there can be conflicts with another config files

rlemon

@ThomasWard github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/deb/setup_6.x some machines use the 7 version. I've diffed mine to make sure all I've changed is some echo's and that's it.

RolandiXor

you're welcome.

@tomsk which language you're using ?

Rinzwind

I flagged all 4 so I was faster

tomsk not need to use the @ if you know they are looking at chat ;-)

tomsk

@Rinzwind just in case :)

Rinzwind

I have sound off anyways :-D

jokerdino

18:18

@SmokeDetector spam or just an eager user?

tomsk

@Rinzwind nah :( :D

Rinzwind

Ill be back \o/ need food

Anwar

@SmokeDetector I don't see any!

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@tomsk Ok, so you probably should use os.mkdir function to create ~/.config/myapp/ and then put .json file there

tomsk

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy i know how to create file, but i dont want to make conflicts :D maybe config file like org.tomsk.myapp

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy it is solution too

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

18:27

@tomsk do you have a github repository yet ?

tomsk

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy i have lot of private repositories in bitbucket.. but these open source projects will be on github.. and yes i have, i sent it to you a few months ago :D but they are outdated :D i have to push my local commits :) but for LLI-KDE i dont have yet

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@tomsk ok, let me know when you set it up. I'd be glad to contribute when i have time

Nathan Osman

Darn. I broke X already.

tomsk

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy okey :) if it will be done, i may go for LLI-GNOME :) (or is your LLI GNOME compatible?)

Nathan Osman

Halp. Can't start X now...

Anwar

18:34

smartx

Thomas Ward

coughs

@Anwar Orbital lasers are fun aren't they

there's no record that they struck either ;)

Anwar

You mods can see it still i guess

Thomas Ward

where do you think the person's posts went ;)

Anwar

deleted of course

rlemon

got my answer! thanks all. my npm config prefix was set to /usr -- which when I tried to fix permissions I was just calling that, and assuming it was correct. so I did screw myself over.

so yea... how should I go about fixing myself when I changed ownership of /usr/* to <currentUser> root

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

18:41

@tomsk it's not. It can be made compatible easily, though, although there's never been high demand for it

Nathan Osman

Wa... how did X get removed?!?

tomsk

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy in 18.04 there will be :)

Nathan Osman

That would explain things

Thomas Ward

@NathanOsman You clicked "remove"

:)

Nathan Osman

Must have been when I tried to clean up after amdgpu.

Anyway, it works now.

\o/

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

18:56

@tomsk problem with GNOME is that workspaces work differently from Unity, so I think I will have to make a fork and develop it separately

Nathan Osman

@ThomasWard I'm not sure I fully understand your comment?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@tomsk it also had unity-specific features. So I'll have to get rid of those

tomsk

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy yes.. :)

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

So, who else is excited for LLI GNOME fork ?

consider this an official announcement

dammit

Anwar

what's LLI?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@RolandiXor how did it taste?

RolandiXor

@ByteCommander starry.

@rlemon Did you try my script?

rlemon

Nathan Osman

sechat.quickmediasolutions.com

rlemon

chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/so-dark-chat-%20/… <- mine

Nathan Osman

It adds "this user is typing" to the bottom of the page and shows you where everyone has read.

@rlemon nice!

rlemon

@NathanOsman neat, I'll give it a whirl once I've fixed up my pcs

so far one is backed up and reloaded. 3 more to go

mine was designed for chat.so. and imo looks way better there than it does on rooms which customised their css.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

19:35

Also, I'm subscribed to that unity8 fork on github. Messages keep coming whole morning. Folks, I believe Unity 8 will live on

rlemon

*if anyone installs it and wonders why it isn't looking like the pic

RolandiXor

;)

Nathan Osman

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy They're moving it to Wayland.

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman sweet!!!!!!

Finally, common sense lives on!

Nathan Osman

I for one am glad to see everything move to Wayland.

It was the only logical choice.

RolandiXor

19:38

No more NIH and fragmentation on that front.

Nathan Osman

Yup. The HD-DVD and Blu-ray war is over.

RolandiXor

Truthfully, the rest of the community did the same to Canonical with some things, but in this case it was Canonical at fault.

tomsk

@NathanOsman KDE Neon is going to wayland too :)

Nathan Osman

@tomsk Yup, and we're looking forward to that.

Guess what?

Bluetooth A2DP works out of the box on Kubuntu.

tomsk

@NathanOsman yea, im using KDE Neon, but with X server for now :)

Nathan Osman

19:40

Same.

And I only had to change one thing in alsamixer for 5.1 audio.

(Usually the process is more complex.)

tomsk

:)

i really like that KDE Neon is "light".. "clean" KDE, without other apps, if i want something i just install it :) and i dont have apps which i dont use :)

Nathan Osman

And unlike Gnome, they recognize that many users will want to customize settings.

So they offer a ton of options.

(Standard Ubuntu won't even let you change the name of your Bluetooth device.)

tomsk

yea :) for example my KDE Neon looks like Unity :D because i like Unity layout, but if i want i can make Gnome look, or cinnamon look, or Mate look, or xfce look etc... :D

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

is omgubuntu down or is it just my crappy connection

Oh, he's not in the room.

There we go.

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy there's your answer ---^

TheWanderer

My school is using this new service for weekend leave

And I'm pretty sure the company is paying for fake reviews on the Play Store

Nathan Osman

@TheWanderer Fake reviews are stupid.

TheWanderer

The app is complete garbage

Nathan Osman

I tend to ignore reviews that don't go into explicit detail on how the app works.

TheWanderer

19:52

Reach Boarding is stupid

Nathan Osman

Bottom line: if the user can't tell what app the review is for based only on the content of the review, it's a useless review.

TheWanderer

It's basically a wrapper for the website, which is also glitchy

Nathan Osman

Yuck.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@NathanOsman so they didn't have good enough load balancer after all

Nathan Osman

Wrapper apps are annoying.

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Are they using CloudFlare?

TheWanderer

19:53

The website has such fancy animations, but the UI didn't match

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@NathanOsman not that I know

Nathan Osman

Could also be that they borked something.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

could be, butbi think it's because of the traffic

RolandiXor

Sigh.

Nathan Osman

@RolandiXor Yup.

The final MP3 patents finally die this year.

TheWanderer

19:56

@RolandiXor it's 2017 and we have Trump in the US

Nathan Osman

@TheWanderer Make 2017 great again... or something...

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman sweet!

@TheWanderer I'm not from that planet.

So thankful.

TheWanderer

pls

Nathan Osman

Yes, it's sweet but... the MP3 revolution ended a decade ago.

RolandiXor

OGG for the win.

TheWanderer

19:57

@NathanOsman huh?

Nathan Osman

@TheWanderer MP3 contains patented technology.

TheWanderer

oh

Nathan Osman

Some of the patents have expired already.

Some expire this year.

Then we can finally package it with a clean conscience :D

At least it seems everyone learned their lesson. VP9 is free.

RolandiXor

Software should always be free at the code level. At some point, you're going to die.

You can still make money off free software (Nextcloud anyone?)

TheWanderer

VP9?

Nathan Osman

20:00

VP9

VP9 is an open and royalty free video coding format developed by Google. VP9 is a successor to VP8 and competes with MPEG's High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265). At first, VP9 was mainly used on Google's popular video platform YouTube. The emergence of the Alliance for Open Media, and its support for the ongoing development of the successor AV1, led to growing interest in the format. In contrast to HEVC, VP9 support is common among web browsers (see HTML5 video § Browser support). The combination of VP9 video and Opus audio in the WebM container, as served by YouTube, is supported by roughly...

Competitor to H.265.

TheWanderer

oh

Google

ofc

Nathan Osman

Hmm... games are not working in Steam...

RolandiXor

One thing people don't realize is that people will gladly support you if you do a good job. Just... just... DON'T go "my way or the highway" (Gnome, elementary, Ubuntu, etc... I'm looking SQUARELY ZOMGPONIES... at you!!!)

Nathan Osman

Doesn't WebP use VP8?

RolandiXor

Yup.

Nathan Osman

20:01

> "As a derivative of the VP8 video format, it is a sister project to the WebM multimedia container format."

Ah, so my memory still works.

Good to know.

:P

RolandiXor

Nathan Osman

But anyway... :P

Red Star OS

Red Star OS (Chosŏn'gŭl: 붉은별; MR: Pulgŭnbyŏl) is a North Korean Linux operating system. Development started in 1998 at the Korea Computer Center (KCC). Prior to its release, computers in North Korea typically used Ubuntu. Version 3.0 was released in the summer of 2013, but as of 2014 version 1.0 continues to be more widely used. It is only offered in a Korean language edition, localized with North Korean terminology and spelling. == Specifications == Red Star OS features a modified Mozilla Firefox browser titled Naenara used for browsing the Naenara web portal on the North Korean internet network...

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Surely "closed-source" doesn't comply with the GPL...

Aren't they required to release the source code?

Byte Commander

RMS?

who?

Nathan Osman

Richard Stallman

Richard Matthew Stallman (born March 16, 1953), often known by his initials, rms, is an American software freedom activist and programmer. He campaigns for software to be distributed in a manner such that its users receive the freedoms to use, study, distribute and modify that software. Software that ensures these freedoms is termed free software. Stallman launched the GNU Project, founded the Free Software Foundation, developed the GNU Compiler Collection and GNU Emacs, and wrote the GNU General Public License. Stallman launched the GNU Project in September 1983 to create a Unix-like computer...

That fellow.

GNU dude.

Yeah.

Byte Commander

"As of 2016, he has received fifteen honorary doctorates and professorships" :O

Nathan Osman

Whatever.

it's always the paper that matters
