yihao 24GB ram for my PC :D
@GeorgeEdison I like it I'm gonna save the command itself :D
@wisemonkey What possible use would you have for it?
RAM or question?
RAM -- running 6 VMs simultaneously with owncloud and mailserver running
will try Ubuntu TV as well
Question -- to play with few of my friends :D
Oh I totally understand the need for more RAM.
I was wondering what you needed the command for.
just for the times when I get annoyed with someone 3:)
00:56
@wisemonkey this is why I'm pricing up a new machine with 32GB of RAM, I need to run a few VMs :)
aww man I got 8GB previously now couldn't take it to 32GB :-/
as in I got 2x4GB previously running at 1066MHz
Most I've got is 4GB in a machine at the moment
8GB in my work desktop
newer ones are 2x8GB at 1260MHz but as u can see they can't utilize 1260MHz :-/
yea I had 8GB in desktop now it has 24 :D
and they are all ripjaws \m/
jrg
jrg
@wisemonkey whats your CPU?
i7 3.4 2600k (OCed to 3.8)
jrg
jrg
00:59
because thats now your throttle. more than 4GB of ram would be useless for me, since I have a slower CPU.
@jrg as slow as my athlon 64 x2?
I know I may not exactly get peak out of RAM but can't get any higher CPU right now unless I go Server
jrg
jrg
@ajmitch I've got a Intel Centrino vPro. Yeah, its probably slower
o.O yea that one is slower
jrg
jrg
Well, its a 2.0GHZ Centrino, but still. ;)
01:04
hmm 2004-2005?
anyways guys ciao leaving for home

2007 iirc.

What is the default calendar program? http://askubuntu.com/questions/124614/what-is-the-default-calendar-program?atw=1 #default

Looks like StackTack has been deployed to Planet Ubuntu.
Can someone whose blog is connected to Planet Ubuntu please post an article with StackTack?
whoa really?
I totally missed it
how do you know?
there it is!
@GeorgeEdison I can do it, link me up to the location of the plugin, etc.
@JorgeCastro Do you have it set up on your blog?
I think I do
looking now
./source/_includes/custom/head.html:<script type="text/javascript" src="http://app.stacktack.com/jquery.stacktack.min.js"></script>
./source/_includes/custom/head.html:$(document).stacktack( {onlyShowAcceptedAnswer: true, site: 'askubuntu.com'} );
that look correct?
Yup.
I found the instructions - they're here if you run into trouble.
give me all the links you want linked
from my blog post
(well, let me test it first.)
03:10
So there are basically just three important links. This is the actual app page.. This is the WordPress plugin. The other link is the one I gave you on GitHub.
testing
stackoverflow for the data-site
should I change that to "askubuntu" or is it "askubuntu.com"?
@GeorgeEdison do you have a built hosted one that I can just replace the one on my site with?
oh boo, nothing on files.quickmediasolutions.com!
03:32
Hmm...
I thought I did have one at one point.
@JorgeCastro Either askubuntu or askubuntu.com should work.
03:59
I'm going to be AFK for a few minutes.
Please send me an email if you have any questions in the meantime.
04:52
@JorgeCastro When is the Ask Ubuntu OW Class?
05:14
@jrg That's intereseting. Reserving space but not filling it(with some conditions)...a little weird, but it sounds like they count the space twice, just off-hand
Bounty offered: Cross-platform Duplex scanner with good support in Ubuntu? http://askubuntu.com/questions/100990/cross-platform-duplex-scanner-with-good-support-in-ubuntu?atw=1 #hardwarerecommendation
06:18
does anyone have a better answer for this? he seems not to understand and i don't have a simpler way to explain it askubuntu.com/questions/124658/…
reminds me of the presentation I made a while ago.
it's a 1 question 1 rep user, so i suspect if it's not an insta-answer it may just sit there. that's the reason i asked if someone had a better idea
Well, it's a very vague set of questions
I don't know if I agree with your answer :-) At least, in relevance to the question of why Windows machines are more prone to viruses
One obvious difference is that Windows users include a lot of normal people who just click on any email attachment
When I distilled it down, it became one question: 'How are open source softwares not exposed to viruses/any kind of internet attack?' - the answer, bugs get fixed, so there's less attack vector.
The just clicking about, possibly, but there are more and more linux users that just do that. That goes to the slightly more complex security model(you can't "turn off UAC on linux")

A: Open source -the term and clarifications on the same

Amith KKFirstly, I'd like to clarify that not all FOSS software are Virus Proof The amount of viruses and bugs in a program depends on the developer and the community But, FOSS software have a better resistance to viruses in the following way Let me give you an example Closed source: X closed sourc...

le answer
06:28
to make an analogy, if Ubuntu gains major marketshare, and you have a lot of users just randomly typing 'sudo whatever' into their terminals, then the development model makes little difference in the end, don't you think?
yeah definitely I agree with the bug fixing... Apple has been very bad about that
now they have that massive botnet problem
It's a bit funny that it sprung from an MS Office on BSD-like bug
oh did it?
I thought it was a Java vulnerability that Apple delayed in fixing in their version
@AmithKK I don't see how that's different from my answer, but if he understands it great
06:33
I feel like these answers require sophistication on the part of the OP... sophistication which if s/he had, he wouldn't be asking this question
@ChanHoSuh could be, but it seems like i read the other somewhere
@ChanHoSuh See the last comment, 'bugs get fixed' - I can't make it less complicated
anyway, your general point is good... not the first time Apple or Microsoft has delayed a long time on something that should be easy to fix
Sometimes I wonder what's going on at those companies
Death by weight. The bigger you get, the harder it is to be agile
although... security by obscurity has a lot going for it
06:35
@AmithKK how is that better than the devkit8000
@ChanHoSuh only for entry level...it means people build better tools to take your stuff apart. if all software was OSS, IDA would not exist
@aking1012 The DevWhat?
What's IDA?
Interactive Disassembler Pro - it's the gorilla for software reverse engineering
Linux relevance, it supports ELF and can take apart the adobe-flash plugin ;)
oh, really?!
06:38
@aking1012 Its only 25$
okay, that's valid...it doesn't support as many shields though, so 6 one way half dozen the other. i take your point though and it is bookmarked. do they ship international?
I thought they were sold out
'Contact me when in stock' would certainly indicate so
victim of success/price - sold out. supply chain can eat you alive
aking, what do you think of the 12.10 name?
i don't have an opinion, it just means i know what to rename my repository extension when it goes alpha
06:48
lol
so I started playing with opennebula...really interesting. it gives me something i wanted for a long time. the ability to layout a virtual network locally in xml(in a more straight-forward way than with vbox)
you have a specific application in mind for it?
several:
mapping to be deployed networks to virtual and letting people "see it working" before it runs(opennebula supports migration to amazon)

security test lab so you can spin-up a virtual network that looks like the one you're going after

clean installs of ubuntu for answering questions here

rebuilding ubuntu ISOs with current updates in an automated fashion
for smaller networks i can use openwrt x86 builds to emulate a linksys router. for larger ones i can use a vyatta/other VM or a dynamips instance
07:28
@aking1012 Offtopic
?
My answer or the question?
The question
@BrunoPereira --^
It deals specifically with why not AV on Ubuntu, so it's grey imo
No, It doesent
He edited the question
He asks why AntiViruses have more flaws than FOSS software
I think he asked why is using Ubuntu instead of/in conjuction with AV instead of just windows+AV
07:32
The question is not clear
Then he should clarify before we gung-ho it
I tried to guess what he meant and respond
I can't find the link, but there's a Stanley professor that talks about a cryptography book where the author puts embedded messages in the book if you go to the trouble of deciphering them. I thought it was awesome
hi @jokerdino
hi there
07:49
Well... I need someone with spreadsheetfu
Hey @jokerdino
Im choosing my list of classes
Now
I have classes on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
@AmithKK I'm done with classes unless I go back for a PhD...but that's too expensive
And various classes take varying amounts(specified)
I need some formula or something so that I can get the classes in order
I'll Gdoc it if you want
08:03
nvm
@GeorgeEdison Hello
@AmithKK Hello.
did that openid service link wind up helping or not so much?
@aking1012 It was a great article - in the end I ended up deciding to go with an existing OpenID provider library.
:) - cool
08:17
@GeorgeEdison - I was told you might work with stackapps, so you might know who to tell about this. If you go follow the link on your own profile to %ranking and toggle from time period to time period(month to year for example) you start showing up twice. Tiny bug, but I thought someone should know.
How can i disable the update prompt? http://askubuntu.com/questions/124669/how-can-i-disable-the-update-prompt?atw=1 #updates
@aking1012 Probably the best place for that would be meta.stackoverflow.com
cool, it may be a feature not a bug :)
i think it is intended, no?
possibly

Q: GtkIconView doesn't automatically fill the space with icon when user resizes the window

jonobaconIn the Ubuntu Accomplishments project we are having a few unusual bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986708 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974728 Namely that we have a window with a GtkNotebook and a GtkIconView on a page and another on another page. When the user re-sizes the window the...

Jorge's boss is here! haha
I suspect it's connecting the resize callback to a window re-draw
@george Y U no circle 2buntu on G+??
I already get enough in my feed already :)
And besides, there's a feedbot right here in this room.
I can't circle you and make you part of the 2buntu team. zzz
09:16
I was thinking..
what happens with closed questions? do they ever get removed?
yeah, they get removed unless they are locked
every closed question other than dupes
ok
was thinking of asking it at meta
but it must have been asked before..
hold on, i might have mistaken.
i can still see one of my closed question being around.
i am not sure now, feel free to ask it on Ask Ubuntu Meta
it was my understanding closed as dupe get's redirected to the dupe
keeps the multi-question SEO and gets the user to a reasonable response
What happens if a question is the dupe of another question whose dupe is the firstly duped question?
09:28
it is not just the dupes, he is talking about closed questions in general
@AmithKK it shouldn't be closed as a dupe of a dupe
@jokerdino valid question, closed as non-dupe are deleted altogether i believe, but i could be mistaken
@AmithKK it won't allow you to close, it will complain of a loop
@aking1012 i believe only certain closures are deleted. for example, i can still see a too localized question of mine still around.
Can somebody help me on a math problem?
A man completed a trip of 136km's in 8 hours.Some parts of the trip was covered at 15km/hr and the remaining at 18km/hr.Find the part of the trip that was covered at 18km/h.
Linear equations
Now, i don't think questions are deleted automatically. I think 10k+ rep users or mods has to delete a question manually for the question to be deleted.
It should be like 10k==Mod like powers 100k=Mod
09:33
@AmithKK that sounds like homework
Its Summer Vacation :P
@aking1012 Nope, Its not :D
Sounds like a potential python program? :D
it's a simple division and remainder problem
Meh
Something to do with speed and distance I suppose ;)
divide the remainder by 3
09:35
136/8/3?
09:53
136/8 gives you 17 average speed. 8 hours means 18-15 == 3. 18-17 == 1. 1 from 3 is 2. you traveled at the greater speed about 2/3 of the time. 136/3/15+136/3*2/18 and account for rounding

O.o
Thanks :D

why don't i have the report first bug accomplishment? this accomplishment thing must not work. it finds my launchpad, but not my bug status.
also doesn't find that i signed the ubuntu code of conduct...
@aking1012 it takes a while. give it time
for the bug accomplishment, is the bug confirmed?
10:09
Conditions to occur:   the top bar is set to transparent through MyUnity   toggle to solid on maximised is selected   a multi-screen configuration   maximize windows on two different monitors System Info: Unity version 5.8 Compiz version 0.9.7.4 Symptom   the last maximised top bar becomes solid while the other screen top bar toggles back to transparent It's really low priority, but I felt it was a counter-intuitive behaviour.
unity
Undecided / Fix Released
short answer, yes
i suspect it only accounts for 'changes' not real state of accomplishments
requiring ubuntu-one also upsets me kind of a lot
@aking1012 i wonder if it only looks for bugs with confirmed status.
it was confirmed
check the bug report
not was but is
then it's broken
see my i suspect accounts for changes not real state comment
if you have any opinions, post to the accomplishments ML
10:15
i'm only installing it to troubleshoot this bug, i just think it's bogus. it'll be uninstalled when i'm done. i don't need validation from an app
BBL
Classes
@AmithKK i thought it was summer break so no homework???
you never heard about the Asian (or more specifically, Indian) parents?
I know...I had a tiger-mother too. What I mean is that my original postulation that it was homework is correct and that I just did his homework for him
10:29
hi guys.
hi @foss
@aking1012 yep that's right. why do you think i sat out that question?
hey @foss
@jokerdino you did comment that you would have had a snarkier response for me
... any chance someone can look at this answer and update/correct/add to it? This is going to be our "how to install 12.04" Q&A for thursday. Thanks.

Q: How do I upgrade from 10.04 or 11.10 to 12.04?

rakshithI am using Ubuntu 11.10. Please outline the different ways I can upgrade to 12.04.

@ajmitch started work on QQ yet?
10:31
no, still too much to do on precise
@aking1012 yeah didn't expected anyone to have read that one :P
@ajmitch SRU much?
@fossfreedom I don't see anything you missed.
@jokerdino trying to rush to beat that deadline
@jokerdino I read them all regardless of how much I disagree with them
@ajmitch good luck then, you (and the rest of the dev team) should need loads of those.
@aking1012 I'll just reply with a :)
@fossfreedom that answer should scare any newbies haha
10:38
... I sincerely hope not :)
it does draw attention to how much simpler 'Upgrading using the command line:
Run do-release-upgrade in a terminal
'
is
hhh

How can I use a Scanner in Ubuntu? I have tried xsane, sane but it does not detect P-150, ideas?
Related to this here.
if it's usb, do usb passthrough to a VM until scanner drivers become more mature, or buy supported hardware

@jokerdino - I dislike all of these "will this x be in 12.04" ... we could literally have thousands of similar Qs
however - i've reopened it with a little bit of editing. hope you dont mind.
I would have wanted the question to be "Why is it not in 12.04 blah blah"
and i have nothing against someone editing my post.

ChipacaAs of the version 3 of the Ubuntu One client (currently in 12.04, soon to be released for Windows and backported to older Ubuntu versions), connecting through a proxy should work in most situations. In Ubuntu you need to ensure ubuntuone-client-proxy is installed (it isn’t installed by default), ...

(This is by Joseph Wright but he’s having difficulty logging in to the blog so I’m posting it for him.)

Voting is an important part of how StackExchange works. Voting for answers means that good answers are easier to identify, which is vital when you don’t know the best way to do something! Voting for questions is also important, as it helps to sort out the good questions from those that are less clear. When you are searching for help, what you want is to know that you are reading the right questions and getting the right answers. …

Anyway, good night for now. :)
