@NathanOsman ever figure out the bug in Nitroshare? I'd me more than happy to test any APKs you send my way :D

@TheWanderer I'm sorta learning towards a rewrite. I think what I'll do is I'll start a personal fork and if I ever finish it then I'll transfer ownership to HTY

Or actually not a fork in this case

@LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn What post was it? Was it related to the problem you're having? What port is the server listening on and what port is the client attempting to connect to? Are they the same? It's possible to block outbound traffic on a client but I doubt that's what's going on. If the firewall is fully disabled on the server then you should be able to ping the server from the client with the ping command. Does that work? Do you have a question on the main site about this? If so, can you give a link?

LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn

13:13

don't remember which post exactly, you edited someones elses answer.

server was listening on port 2000
client was trying to connect on port 2000

I could see via wireshark that there was some normal stuff going on via TCP (no NACKS, resets or whatsoever), but no screen appeared

yes firewall was fully disabled on the server side and I even disabled to firewall on the client side.
no that gave the same result

No I didn't bother posting it on the main site. It just didn't work between my two personal laptops, but worked immediately when I tried to connect to a PC "on the field"

weird...

Eliah Kagan

If ping didn't work either the machines probably can't connect at all and the underlying problem is likely not related to VNC.

LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn

ping worked

Eliah Kagan

What did you mean by "no that gave the same result"?

LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn

@EliahKagan still didn't work

yhea never mind :) was pretty weird

afaik that type of stuff shouldn t be overly complicated

Q: Cheese config file location

I would like to do a fresh install of cheese. I have purge-removed the package and re-installed but when I open up cheese it has my old settings. Where are the cheese config files located? I would like to remove the cheese config file and I have tried searching for the config file in my home dire...

cheese

LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn

@EliahKagan I followed this

modified the settings

but cheese keeps on overwriting the settings

even when I start the gui via sudo

I want to "force" some settings and set those as default

when I restart cheese the old configurations are used

rather than the ones I set

Eliah Kagan

I think/hope there will be a better solution... but if necessary you could lock the keys you want to keep from changing. help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/…

I haven't used Cheese on a current Ubuntu release. Does the current version of Cheese have settings you can change from within the application? If so, are they reflected in visible changes to dconf keys? And (whether or not they are) do they change back automatically when you run the application again, too?

LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn

@EliahKagan yes to all of this

guvcview doesn t have a config file neither

and can t find it via dconf editor

Eliah Kagan

15:00

@LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn That behavior or Cheese sounds like a bug. Have you searched Launchpad bugs to see if others have reported this. I'll be gone soon and for much of the day but I can probably test it out this evening to see if I can reproduce the problem. Do you know if this happens just on some machines but not others? If you agree it's a bug then I suggest reporting it -- you don't have to wait for me to try to reproduce it, you can just ping me in chat with a link to the bug report.

If you don't think it's a bug or otherwise don't want to report it as one then I recommend asking a question about it on the main site with all these details. The question might later end up getting closed off-topic as a bug report based on what people figure out, but that's okay.

LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn

@EliahKagan hmm I guess it s a bug then. I ll report it

I ll keep you informed

in the meantime I ll try to see what guvcview offers

I was wondering, this senior -I think- knows that in order to install qtcreator on this particular device

has to type sudo apt install qt5-default qtcreator-y

Qt Creator on NVIDIA Jetson TX1

►

How does he know that? I personally would have done this:

sudo apt-file search qtcreator

which returns me a huge list containing inter alia:

qtcreator:/usr/lib/........

afterwards sudo apt install qtcreator

end of the story

How does he know he needs "qt5-default" and to add "-y" rather than just doing sudo apt install qtcreator, like I would have done?

Byte Commander

16:47

Was it sudo apt install qt5-default qtcreator-y or sudo apt install qt5-default qtcreator -y (with space before -y)?

LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn

@ByteCommander yes, with a space

Byte Commander

17:05

Then you can also omit the "-y".

@TheWanderer so just curious, is this for a gaming battlestation or productivity (video/photo editing, Android development)

TheWanderer

latter

I just need MC to work as well as it does on my current laptop

Android Dev

17:40

well then you don't really need the GTX970

TheWanderer

970m

huge difference

Android Dev

well yeah

TheWanderer

it's a little below the 1050

Android Dev

but the point stands

TheWanderer

I have the 950m right now

Android Dev

17:41

you could get away with Intel graphics

TheWanderer

no I could not

Intel gives you like 30FPS average in MC

Android Dev

oh minecraft, I didn't know what MC stood for :D

TheWanderer

even the 950m struggles on large servers like Mineplex

and $750 for a $1700 laptop is an absolute steal

very old though

and no prime

older LCDs are pretty bad with retention and burnin

amazon.com/KNONEW-Display-Digitizer-Assembly-Replacement/dp/…

$140 for 1440p 5.7" vs $120 1080p 24"

the numbers don't add up >_>

Android Dev

18:02

like I said, I don't think the monitor companies have a good reason to lower the price

they probably don't sell that many

Byte Commander

I thought LCDs can not burn in but only get temporary shadows at most...

Android Dev

^

TheWanderer

@ByteCommander "temporary" can be a long time

and the filters still wear out

for instance, my V20 has image retention issues, but they only last a few minutes

if I kept using it for another 7 years, it'd probably start to wear out, and there'd be permanent number outlines on the second screen because of the AOD

@gracious1 It's a community with a structure. sabdfl is part of that community and structure.
