So OnePlus has been pulling quite a few LGs lately
So many denials of obvious issues
Doesn't bode well for their software support
They promised O for the OP3 though.
It's all I care about :P
There's always custom ROMs
@NathanOsman like it'll happen
@AndroidDev yeah but those can't fix hardware defects
OnePlus is slowly becoming just another normal OEM

@Seth try "Cave In" by Piano Tribute Conservatory
definitely not a Vietnamese piracy site
(I actually have no idea if it's legal...)
oh my god
Phillip Phillips is not only called that, but so is his dad!

@NathanOsman They promised N for the 2. And then, a year later, just dropped it.

Q: Custom Dynamic curl Progress Bar

01:56
@KazWolfe I voted to close as unclear and I believe the question still is. We don't know which package OP means or how it was installed.
@DavidFoerster What are you doing up at 4AM? :P
@AndroidDev I took a short but late afternoon nap and now I don't feel tired yet. Also, my Friday lecture was cancelled.
Ah
Make sure to have some lights on
It's bad for your eyes to look at a screen without lights on in the room

Huh, system76 is making a distro?
02:38
great

Hahaha, I just read an article written at my old uni department and was reminded that the department acronym is "EPIC". :-D
@KazWolfe Should be simple enough in this case.
@DavidFoerster EPIC is a legendary name for a department :-P
The department is (or at least was originally) headed by the guy who founded and funded the construction of half of the department's parent institute. (He's also one of the co-founders of SAP.) I'm pretty sure he knew what he was doing when he chose that name.
@DavidFoerster :-D

Hello, I wanted to follow the instruction on this post.

A: How to compile qemu with usb suport

A.B.Install the development library of libusb and libusbredirparser-dev: sudo apt-get install libusb-dev sudo apt-get install libusbredirparser-dev and again ./configure [...] libusb yes usb net redir yes [...]

But I installed qemu through apt-get
so Do i need to compile it again?
@ra314: What do you want to achieve? Does the currently installed Qemu have the USB support you appear to seek?
@David No it doesn't when I try and add a USB device the virt-manager says it can't find the usb host device
so will using these commands be enough?
@ra314: I don't know. Which Qemu version do you have installed currently?
@Davidd 1.3.2
@DavidFoerster This is the specific error I get.
libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2017-06-30T08:50:29.227196Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device usb-host,hostbus=1,hostaddr=6,id=hostdev0,bus=usb.0,port=2: failed to find host usb device 1:6
What's your Ubuntu release? Qemu 1.3 is ancient.
08:52
17.04
I'll update virt-manager and tell you how it goes after. Thanks
16.04 comes with Qemu 2.5
The Qemu in version in Zesty is 2.8. I suggest you install that and try again before you compiling old software from source.
$ qemu-system-i386 -version
QEMU emulator version 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.14), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
08:56
@KazWolfe: Look, another wolf lover just joined.
I'm kinda new to this so would you be kind enough to provide a terminal command to update virt-manager for me?
@ra314: How did you install Qemu and virt-manager?
actally my bad
the version of qemu is 2.8
1.3 is the version of virt manager
This is how I installed it - sudo apt-get -y install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin bridge-utils virt-manager;
So any idea what I can do to fix the error?
08:59
@ra314L I recommend that you find someone who knows how to configure USB pass-through in Qemu to go through your steps to ensure that this is no user error on your end.
Well I didn't do anything too copmlicated, just opened up virt-manager, clicked add hardware and chose USB host device, and chose a spare mouse.
Start digging at the shallow end (verify configuration) and not the deep end (recompile from source).
Alrighty, thanks.

@Monarch1 I am not getting your question and I am not an expert, but, if you post a question on the main site you'll get a lot of help
Go post the question, then post the link on here if you want to ;-)

in /dev/chat, 3 mins ago, by Pandya
what's the command-line alternative to install this driver? because GUI is not responding after long time and I can't see what is happening in background.

Luis AlvaradoThis answer is based on an extensive research done by various Ubuntu users that worked together in almost all issues related to Broadcom. Special thanks to chili555 who helped in the Ubuntu forums and on this site with many questions related to Wireless devices and to others who have contributed ...

12:32
Guys, can apps made with Python + GTK or Python + qt run on Windows and Mac? Be cross platform?
@RonnieDroid presumably, if they install the windows/mac versions of gatk.
Should be, but I never made a reasonable GUI with Python, so don't trust me there.
@RonnieDroid what ??? what happened ?
Hello everybody ! :)
@Pandya Hi again ! :) sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source dkms
@terdon sounds legit, I'll contact the developer and see what he thinks :-)
@cl-netbox guten Tag, there was fire, real fire while we where playing, we had to stop the game, so out game was on fire babe hahaha
@RonnieDroid Ah, that will involve some work on the part of the developer unless the script is already written to be portable. I mean, it is probably possible to write a program that works on all 3 systems, but you will have to write it in a portable way.
12:39
@cl-netbox Hi! Yes, I purged and re-installed bcmwl-kernel-source
and restarted system
but I can't see wifi on network-manager.
I'm running GNOME desktop environment
@terdon the developer has already written it in a portable way and it runs on all three systems, but I contacted him to make a GUI for it as my first project, he agreed but said it needs to be cross platform
> $ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

enp7s0 no wireless extensions.

enp0s29u1u2 no wireless extensions.
^^ How to verify whether wifi is detecting?
@Pandya please show me the output from ifconfig

^^ says driver is in use.
12:44
I think there might be a wifi option here ^^ right?
@Pandya yes - open network in system settings ... is there a wifi tab ?
currently I'm connected to internet through wired connection (USB tethering from Android).
@cl-netbox no ^^
@Pandya which operating system are you using and on which machine is it installed ?
I bit it's Arch :-D
@cl-netbox Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.2 LTS on Dell Inspiron 3542
12:49
@RonnieDroid hahaha ... no jokes in this case please ! :D
@RonnieDroid Haha; Arch with Hurd :P
@Pandya then something went wrong ... is dkms installed ? dpkg --get-selections | grep dkms
@Pandya :-P
> $ dpkg --get-selections | grep dkms
dkms install
Btw, let me check secure boot from BIOS setting. It may affect...
@Pandya ok ... DELL has a hardware switch to enable WIFI and Bluetooth on some machines ... did you enable it before booting ?
12:54
@cl-netbox I think no hardware switch except a key after F12 which controls airplane mode on Windows and wifi is working fine on Windows 10.
@Pandya turn off secure boot ... then purge the drivers ... reboot ... reinstall the drivers ... rebbot
@Pandya sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source | sudo reboot | sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source | sudo reboot
After disabling secure boot; working fine ^^ :)
aha :)
12:58
Thanks for helping out @cl-netbox
Yaayyy @Pandya 's problem is solved, now he has WiFi and can watch some p*** :-P
@Pandya You're welcome ! :) I'm glad that it works now ! :)
@RonnieDroid wasn't it before ? :D or doesn't it work with ethernet ??? :D :D :D
@TheWanderer Yeah :D
@cl-netbox you can't relax when you have a problem, can you?
@RonnieDroid relax ? what problem ? @Pandya was having one - not me ... I only solved it ! :)
13:02
@cl-netbox I meant him :-P
Anyway how are you today Chris?
@ParanoidPanda I better say nothing here in this case ... :)
@RonnieDroid I am fine - thank you for asking, Ron ! :) Created system backups this morning ... what about yourself ? :)
13:23
@cl-netbox I'm fine too, found myself a starting project (making a GUI for a very simple app) :-)
@RonnieDroid nice ... what app is it ? that is something I never did (not able to do it) ! :)
@cl-netbox it's this github.com/ivandokov/phockup?files=1 (I'm not sure I can do it too)
@cl-netbox I saw it there too :-D
It's really cool, don't you think?
@RonnieDroid yeah, but why not use it from CLI ? :) By the way, this is a great tool -> github.com/ryran/xsos ! nothing to install, just download, extract and execute.
13:45
@cl-netbox nothing wrong with using it from CLI, but it's gonna be a nice project for me :-)
@cl-netbox what does it do?
@RonnieDroid yes, of course ! :)
@RonnieDroid it gives you comprehensive system information ... here is an example from my machine :
@cl-netbox so you mean I should make a GUI for it :-D , it is indeed a nice tool, I just read the readme file :-)
why not ? when it looks better than the output :

@RonnieDroid what ??? then write a portable GUI and give it to me please ! :D
13:55
@cl-netbox what? What is that :-P . Don't forget, I am just a Babe in Python and GTK :-P
@RonnieDroid was a joke :) I'm happy with the CLI output ! :)
@cl-netbox good for you buddy :-D
@RonnieDroid Don't you like the command line ?
I'm learning how to make. Treeview and a progress bar yaayyy so exciting :-D
@cl-netbox I like it, but tbh I prefer the GUI because I am not that good you know
@RonnieDroid no problem at all ... sometimes I prefer a GUI too - example : virt-manager
13:59
@cl-netbox for me the worst idea is command line download managers (they are supposed to make live easier :-D )
@RonnieDroid "wget love" ... "wget live" ... or do you mean "enjoy life" ? :D
@cl-netbox what the hell is wrong with me :'( , I am a writer, author, poet and yet I am the championship of typos, I should be called a typoists not a writer :'(
Life sucks, I'm really sad now :-P
@RonnieDroid hahaha ... great ! :D compared to me you are a champion - I make more typos than anyone else ! :D
@cl-netbox I don't see you making much, but I always see you correcting mine :-\
@RonnieDroid always ??? This was the first time, because I wasn't sure : love was not THAT wrong ... hahaha :D
14:06
I once submitted a very very good poem by me for a competition but got rejected because I had 10 typos, 10 typos in a poem, I feel sorry for whoever I'll pay to edit my 60 thousand words novel lol

eegorI see two device entries (ie. /dev/sdaa and /dev/sdab ) for each disk in my Quanta M4600H. The HBA is an LSI SAS2308.

I have not.
@NathanOsman I thought you said "died" and I was wondering why you had the "once" modifier
17:23
Hello guys
@RonnieDroid Hello again ! :D
@NathanOsman do you think Kivy is a good language to make a simple GUI Python all for Linux, Mac and Windows?
Use Qt.
@cl-netbox heyyy there
Yes, Qt (and PyQt) is the best option right now.
17:26
@Seth will it work on all three platforms without extra steps from the user?
@Seth Hi Seth ! :) Everything alright ?
@RonnieDroid Define extra steps. They have to have the library installed, but that would apply to Kivy too.
@NathanOsman Hi Nathan ! :)
@NathanOsman Isn't PySide replacing PyQt? Last I checked there weren't PyQt bindings for Qt5.
@cl-netbox hanging in there. Got another test right now, actually.
@Seth health test ?
17:28
@cl-netbox yes
@Seth and ? result ?
@cl-netbox No results yet..
@Seth fingers are crossed ! :)
thanks :)
@Seth they would have Python installed you mean right?
17:29
@RonnieDroid Well that's kind of a given ;)
@Seth so they'll have to install the qt library too?
They'd need python and the PyQt/PySide bindings you use. Most *nix distros include python and pyqt (and some pyside these days). OSX comes with python, not sure about the Qt bindings. Windows doesn't come with either python or any qt bindings. You'll need to bundle them with your binary.
@Seth aha, okay, so if I bundle (this word makes me laugh lol) them with my binary the user will just install the app and start using it, right?
@RonnieDroid yes
unfortunately it will make the binary larger, but there's no way around that.
Not for Windows anyway.
This is really cool:
I knew about rolling shutter, but seeing that makes it much easier to understand
17:33
@AndroidDev Hi Andy ! :)
Boxy! :D
@Seth okay thank you :-)
@NathanOsman What bindings, if any, does OSX ship with for Qt?
49k , one thousand left till 50k
Things . . . go . . .slooooooow . . . .
@Seth OS X doesn't include Qt.
17:40
@NathanOsman That's what I figured :/
The Qt backend for macOS uses Cocoa IIRC.
$ rm serg

18:07
@NathanOsman aren't those illegal

@TheWanderer according to the MPAA, yes. According to the law, no.
probably a DMCA argument.
@TheWanderer Why would they be illegal?
None of the ones I was looking at break HDCP.
hello everyone
I am trying to zip all files and folders within a directory including the hidden files
after searching I ended with:
zip -r myfile.zip directory-to-zip/.
@Alex what do you mean "try"?
18:14
however I tried that but the zip file didn't contain any files
@Rinzwind I want to zip
zip 1.zip * .*
is the correct method
rm serg
hey no error >:)
E: serg cannot be found
or do find -type f -maxdepth 1 | xargs zip zipfile.zip
@Rinzwind cat /dev/zero > Rinzwind.txt
18:16
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy I am a dog person :=)
@Rinzwind so it would be:
zip -r newfile.zip directory-to-zip * .*
?
No... I'd suggest to use ...
zip -r newfile.zip directory-to-zip/* directory-to-zip/.*
but the files than will include "directory-to-zip" I would think
yes, it's ok to include the parent folder
the /* will zip all "normal" files and then /.* will zip the hidden files
is that right?
yes
I am more partial to "tar" but I expect it works the same with zip
Lol, just as i was about to type that I kinda wanna go distro hopping again my Ubuntu froze
18:22
how long should it take to zip about 1Gigabyte files? is a minute or less normal? that's what it took when I used the other command. I'm not used to using zip so I'm not sure
Depends on your hardware
If you got SSD that will be fast, hard drive - slow
@Alex about 30 seconds on my machine :=D
ok guys, thanks for the help
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad keyword in answer: Annotate PDF with stylus by Jason on askubuntu.com (@ThomasWard)
18:32
oh, what size should I expect to have the zipped file assuming it's using default compression? +/-
it appears that the command is adding also files in same directory of the directory I chose
Gosh, I'm thoroughly enjoying the link that muru posted on my meta question. Some of the posts on Meta SE are just pure gold
Yoda is a developer, I see, not just in jedi ways, versed he is
So, should I go distro hopping after all ? Advice, guys
I'm probably going to come back to my Ubuntu 16.04 after all, I've too many valuable items on this SSD. Matlab and such, tons of scripts
19:11
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Did that SSD that you thought died on you ever come back?
@Alex That really depends on the content of the file. If you are compressing something that's already compressed, such as a JPEG image, the file size will hardly be reduced at all
@AndroidDev I'm still using it to this day. It freezes every now and then, but works
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy But you are making regular backups now, right? >_>

I probably should start doing that. Set up a cronjob or something

raverywhy is it that certain perfectly good answers get deleted by a few, because they point out ubuntu's problems. one answer that was deleted is even given in ubuntu's manual. some people here need to get off their high horse and let others be helped

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy didn't pick up on the servo motor?
@TheWanderer Nope. I've played with induction motors and DC motors in my Electric Machines class, but I forgot almost everything after I passed that class. Remember, I am a horrible electrical engineer.
