Anyone knows which package is for installing libgl?

aptitude search libgl, shows a lot!

aking1012

@alFReDNSH apt-cache search libgl | grep mesa is a lot cleaner

packages.ubuntu.com/…

alFReD NSH

installed mesa-dev

though didn't really solve my problem :P

any help?

I'm looking up prolog right now, hang on

Have you run any prolog based applications prior to this ptest?

aseed

no

my question is did you download an '.exe' or source

gprolog.org <--- there's a prolog compiler for linux

aseed

i download a zip source

lazyPower

Yeah the code is cool and all but thats not telling me anything about the prolog toolchain.

aseed

extract it

and do the chmod

it is just a test for contracts functions in scheme

lazyPower

20:44

i think it reuqires an interpreter

i may be wrong but i'm not seeing anything saying otherwise

aseed

i think its works on 64 bit.. but i have 32 bit

lazyPower

i wouldn't think it requires 64 bit unless you implicitly have prolog 64 bit packages installed.

its intenteded to be run on embedded logic systems.

aseed

but the ptest is an executable file....

not a prolog code

lazyPower

csupomona.edu/~jrfisher/www/prolog_tutorial/1.html

i cant accurately state this is a good tutorial, it looks like its as old as the hills.

but so far its been the most informative.

aseed

i dont want to run prolog

just the exe file

lazyPower

20:48

points to aking's answer then

aseed

to download it?

aking1012

\o/

lazyPower

i need food, i'm probably talking out both sides of my head.

hunger... it clouds vision.

aking1012

@aseed sudo apt-get install gprolog to install it, but I have never used that build system...so that's as far as I can take it

aseed

ok thanks

i will check it

lazyPower

20:51

@aking1012 dude. 2 hours of merging in a rebase session.

aseed

not working but thanks any way... i will check another chat room

lazyPower

i think i just imploded my userspace.

jrg

Hah. Hah. You said cloud @lazyPower. TO THE CLOUD!!!!

lazyPower

Wait, when?

jrg

> hunger... it clouds vision.

lazyPower

20:52

(facepalm)

oh man

aking1012

@lazyPower That sounds bad

jrg

(sorry. Its a joke that whenever someone says "cloud", you make fun of them for going to the cloud. :P)

lazyPower

i had a prototype thats going into production next week and its 2 months behind in patches.

@jrg we ARE the cloud. You know you love it.

aking1012

Ouch.../me is sorry for you

lazyPower

eh, its all good. I forked it and kind of forgot about it.

so now i get the pain.

aking1012

20:58

@lazyPower So in other news, I've got some python that pulls words from a dictionary - feeds it to crunch - pipes it to XMPP authorization. Hydra says it works for XMPP, but it doesn't work properly and only works with files, not piped crunch output.

lazyPower

nice.

if you're piping streams i dont see what the difference is

input is input.

Q: linux mint debmirror

I'm using Linux Mint 12 Lisa and for some reason want to have local packages repository. I've done local copies before on Ubuntu and it was easy. But unlike Ubuntu's archive.ubuntu.com, packages.linuxmint.com is a webpage, not directory listing. So i'm stuck... How to make Linux Mint package repo...

ubuntu linux-mint

aking1012

@lazyPower Yeah, hydra only likes files...not streams. And the thing with crunch is it can outrun how fast you can try connections. So it's a lot of for line in subprocess.stdout and breaking up the crunch transforms into manageable pieces

lazyPower

Surely you could patch hydra to use a stream instead of files... But i dont know much about it to be honest.

aking1012

I could...but then I would still have the problem of the transform(crunch) outrunning the connection speed.

Also, then I would have to fix another problem with hydra that makes XMPP not work right

lazyPower

21:03

wait so buffering is a no go, and hydra doesnt like xmpp to begin with? i'm'lost.

aking1012

buffering could work...but then i would have to stall out the transform intentionally. and hydra only sort of works for xmpp

lazyPower

i think i'm officially not getting it aking. You've eclipsed me in purpose and intent.

Folks, I have hit 5k.. :)

Due to the generous people 6 hours earlier

aking1012

I'm still floating around 3600

jrg

@RolandTaylor I have a bad feeling about this.

fossfreedom

well done @jokerdino ... although I think the blue bike has run you over for this quarter...!

jokerdino

Yes.. he did. I am heart broken.

jrg

I lol'ed @RolandTaylor.

jokerdino

22:17

I lost it. I lost my #8.

@roland that wasn't too funny. I have a feeling ppl might think it is actually true.

jrg

@RolandTaylor jokerdino has a point.

Maybe something a little more subtle, like my chrome OS april fools joke

aking1012

Has anyone messed with Amazon Elastic MapReduce and is there a Canonical/Ubuntu brand equivalent?

jrg

Dang you guys are making me spend more time on meta than I do on the actual site. ;)

aking1012

@jrg Sorry. I think it's kind of a valid question though

jrg

I'm smiling, its actually fun that someone other than Marco, Jorge and I cares about meta. :D

Q: Building a custom xbmc distro with ubuntu

THIS IS RELATED TO LINUX!!! How could you use ubuntu to create your own distro of XBMC (ex. Boxee Plex)? Is there a site (I checked XBMC's wiki and found nothing) that tells u how to do this?

ubuntu live-usb xbmc

aking1012

@jrg Well...If I'm going to do some of the touchier things and try and fix/improve I kind of want to do it right

jokerdino

@fossfreedom I am hoping to get back my #8 for the year ranking..

fossfreedom

maybe another target would be the first page of all users? That would be a good one to target :)

jokerdino

That one is in the long term goals. :)

jrg

@aking1012 Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

jokerdino

22:27

I had a mental target list.

3k --> second page --> 5k --> first page.

now that the first three are done, moving on to attack first page.

fossfreedom

... just need another 2K+ ... next month?

jokerdino

I guess so.

fossfreedom

good luck with that then :)

aking1012

@UbuntuQuestionsonUL askubuntu.com/questions/36948/home-entertainment-dvr-solutions funny funny

jokerdino

ooh 10 people and 1800 rep between me and first page.

@GeorgeEdison I'ld like to see some website have a fake 'somebody deleted all files in webroot' type of landing page that redirects after a couple seconds to a 'just kidding...april fools'. For stack specific, it would be funny to replace rep values for a moment.

Could also tack a moderator star on everyone's page, but not grant any moderator priviledges...that would be kind of a 'you have to catch it' joke though
