nice!! I wanna vote
me too
Behold. I am arrived.
there are soo many !!! too many apps
noway Im gonna be able to test all these
test the download monitor.
What should I do for the railroads?
14:00
i'll test that first.
@LordofTime TMI!
@jokerdino this is apparent. :P
@jokerdino its either i say i'm here, or the gates of hell open. :P
jrg
jrg
LOOK. ITS A FLABBY UNICORN!
Well now I just feel self conscious.
@LordofTime oh wow
jrg
jrg
14:04
@jokerdino @MarcoCeppi no, I'm the one who gets meta emails.
i didn't know you call that the gates of hell
I use the Stack Alert plugin for Chrome to watch incoming meta+notifications
Windows 7 is potentially the worst Operating System to put on a tablet.
I get enough freaking emails as it is
jrg
jrg
Someone really made a Klout application for Ubuntu? - myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/apps/1096
I hate it. It burrns us.
@MarcoCeppi i think I get more.
14:05
@jokerdino you cant. but weirdness is the same as hell. :P
klout is the worst thing ever
2
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino So, is that a promise to give it a 1 star review once it's published? ;)
@jrg it should be vaporized!
Oh god... Klout... not usin' that.
14:05
Rate based on the quality of the app, not the subject matter
hey, guess what, it breaks :P
its in "Needs Information" phase
because of code breaks
and crashes
(see feedback)
As much as I hate cloud servers, this is pretty cool - trystack.org
jrg
jrg
The content of the app is directly proportionate to how useful, and therefore how high quality it is. As such...
Now, the pingdom applet looks cool. i could see myself using that a lot.
@jrg thanks for my favorite phrase
jrg
jrg
14:10
'tis unfortunate that the pingdom PPA is only for precise, I can't use it on my quantal installs.
(well, i can, i'm just too lazy to do it)
@jrg same here ;-(
My internet has to me the most retarded connection I have come across ... damnit AT&T.
@jrg Does the Launchhouse use T1?
jrg
jrg
@Flabricorn no, they use bonded two ATT lines, one TimeWarner for a total 60 down 20 up iirc.
1.5mb/s download for me :S damn it
jrg
jrg
It's an office for 60-70 people. What do you expect? :P
14:14
@jrg but if an application crashes on load, it will fail to get votes
jrg
jrg
ISPs legitimately won't sell them any more lines to that address.
10Mbps up/15Mbps down.
jrg
jrg
@LordofTime He'll fix the bug, I'm sure.
@jrg its been a week... :P
64KB/s down
^^ that is pretty nice !
14:15
1.5Mbps up / 1.5Mbps down
office with twenty some people
grrr
20Mbps Down / 10Mbps up @work
@jrg Hmm, I know, I'm just wondering what to do about my home internet. We're buying something better but my speed is - 1.37 Mb/s Down, and .32 Mb/s up.
@Mitch congrats !
12Mbps Down @home
give me some
14:17
Take all that you want
what it do homies?
14:21
atlantic avenue -> sharepoint
you forgot superuser and u&l
Short Line -> StackExchange Chat

Q: Tag synonym request: [library]->[libraries]

ObsessiveFOSSlibrary has 15 posts, and libraries also has 15 posts. They should be merged into libraries, as both tags have fairly similar questions about missing libaries.

@jokerdino: and hdds don't grow by 500gb/mo! Debootstrap is as normal, creating a chroot. Recommend kernel.org mirror, fast. If you need more help wIth that, can do tomorrow your time ;)
@jrg: if you can't write long reports about virtually nothing you'll never hack it in management, stick to coding/engineering ;p
@izx haha ok. i was just remarking. i haven't hit a low disk space yet
@LordofTime Done!
Feel free to copy and use at your own sandbox.
that is abuse of sandbox k
14:25
i doth not have one :P
@ObsessiveFOSS own sandbox ??!!
you forgot serverfault btw
Yes. Everyone has a sandbox at [their user page]/sandbox
i think i had twenty :P
I have none.
14:29
Yes. You can create any subpage in your userspace.
Private and being used for testing purposes. Do not edit. Monopoly:
That's the final version.
Error:
Ventnor Avenue
$260
not a SE site
jrg
jrg
@izx Reports are for facts sir, no more and no less. Just because we can fill databases with information doesn't mean we have to.
@Flabricorn Yeah, get something better.
@jrg What do you have for home internet?
jrg
jrg
@Flabricorn I have ATT uverse.
No clue how much we pay for it.
@jrg Is it any good? I heard it was fast, yet a little bit of a rip off.
14:33
@ObsessiveFOSS lololol
jrg
jrg
@Flabricorn shrugs we went without the cable/TV stuff (who needs cable with Hulu?), after dad ranted on Twitter and threatened to move to TimeWarner.

Q: upgrade-grub fails & boot-repair fails & now I cannot boot one of my linux systems, is there a way around?

keepitsimpleengineerI have three Linux and two windows systems on one computer. After updating the kernel on one (archlinux) and running update-grub on the default (BIOS) boot disk (Xubuntu 12.04), the boot menu does not report the archlinux system. After running boot-repair, I cannot boot the archlinux system by ...

grub experts be advised
@jrg I have the same feeling, but my relationship is with Netflix .
jrg
jrg
@ObsessiveFOSS So, I think there should be a "downvote" place that loses you 2 rep.
and when you go to moderation, you lose 100 rep in "bounties" and "revenge downvoting"
Moderation=Community Chest
Vote=Chance
@jrg --^--
jrg
jrg
14:39
LAME

Also, Startups isn't on the board.
The cards for these will be better...
where is sports.se again?
Not adding it---hate the topic
14:40
O_O
jokerdino, how did you manage to have 100% accept rate again?
jrg
jrg
Replace Ventnor Avenue with Startups or Sports.
@AnwarShah accept all the answers?
@jokerdino I have some closed question.
I think, i have no chance.
closed questions won't count in accept rate
jrg
jrg
14:41
Closed and unanswered questions don't count iirc.
Oh. nice.
I was feeling bad..
thanks...
......
I hate when I have to fix laziness in questions/answers.

Crud, wikipedia is getting worse with ads.
Stuff like not putting spaces and not capitalizing "i".
That's garbage.
14:43
@RolandTaylor I think, I have forced you this morning
I would donate to wikipedia if i can
but those ads are annoying.
@AnwarShah not you this time ;)
@jrg Done. I would never include sports. There's not community for competitive wire-winding.
Or Science Olympiads
(Also, no Mathcounts, whose slogan was "Try a different soft of sport(r)"
@RolandTaylor I made a comment on one of your post like this, this may theoretically answer the question but it is preferable ....
@AnwarShah where?
I didn't see it.
14:45
@jrg Could you take a look at the last few lines of chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/4153/…? I'm not sure @Jeffrey's serial voting for me was legal, but he doesn't want to remove it. I just hope my accounts' good standing doesn't get damaged.
the inbox is broken
@jrg do you have a Fedora VM/install/playground?
@jokerdino I'm not seeing it...
jrg
jrg
@ObsessiveFOSS shrugs I don't meddle with that - that and I don't know the system limits as well as others.
@RolandTaylor no, unfortunately. I replaced it with Q.
14:47
@jrg Should I ask another mod?
jrg
jrg
And the install takes too long, and I don't have enough time to get it on a VM.
@ObsessiveFOSS What i'm trying to say is "Relax".
@ObsessiveFOSS he has enough rep to know the system well. it probably is someone else
@RolandTaylor here it is askubuntu.com/a/10639/61218
@jrg np
@AnwarShah oh that
jrg
jrg
14:49
@RolandTaylor Hangon, I might have my VM around. let me find.
I didn't pay much attention to it as the accepted answer covers everything.
@jrg I was going to ask you for Unity screenshots :P
It appeared in the review.
But don't go through the trouble lol.
jrg
jrg
If I find it, I'll gladly help.
you can tell me if you think that needs screenshots or not
14:51
@SirCharlo You're a mac user, can you help @Jeffrey at chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/4153/…
you are insistent
we should fix this
puts @ObsessiveFOSS into /dev/null
I'll see..
The mactel issue? Or my insistence?
jrg
jrg
14:52
@RolandTaylor nope, don't have the VM.
jrg
jrg
and yes, it needs screenshots.
:P
Well you see,
OMGUbuntu and Phoronix were sent screenshots.
We "smallfry" (in the eyes of some) don't get that luxury :)...
retains his minor anger at humanity.
Don't worry - I'll work this out :)
jrg
jrg
Yeah, i see the issue here.
@RolandTaylor puts @RolandTaylor onto the planet of the Daleks
14:56
@LordofTime Skaro?
OH NOES!
@AnwarShah I had 12.04 on the same machine up until yesterday.
Pfff
Puny alien noobs.
Daleks are an ancient outdated species.
The fanfare is much overdone.
@Mitch But I heard, there may be some problem with graphic driver, which may cause error to boot Live CDs.
14:59
I know, I'm burning the Alternate as we speak, but its funny that it was OK
I am not very sure also.
I'll try and let you know
Hold on, I'll be back after some reboots and a stroll...
@RolandTaylor Have you been on a Luxon home world? More dangerous than Daleks.
@Flabricorn yawn
15:05
@RolandTaylor And what about Earth? Those demented humanoids are batshit crazy.
@Flabricorn humans are not apes.
They are a glorious... albeit mentally blinded species.
Better?
Way better than apes :)
Does anyone have a special character for the Ubuntu logo? I'm making a test website, and I would like to have it looks like gnome with the top menu bar.
They just don't know it.
@Flabricorn you're better off using an image
15:09
Okay, thank you!
Ensure it is an SVG, so that IE users can't see it!
What does that emoticon signify?
I'm supposing evil intention.
@ObsessiveFOSS Did you read that meta question?
@ObsessiveFOSS >:) = Evil grin pc.net/emoticons
included
Don't include all of those in that answer. cause all are not used here.
just my opinion

ITS THE UBUNTU UNICODE.
Can i use ascii face char here?
or how?
BBL
@Flabricorn It looks like that at low zoom...
15:26
!
I am 18th in meta.AU!
Yes, it's rather unusable ascii. Thank you guys anyway.
and 34th in main.AU
It's only due to low zoom...
This is at high zoom:
No, I mean with the issue of font packages on other computers, the main users of the site will be on Windows.
OH
Image.
I see.
Thank you!
hrmmm. the app showdown reddit client is kind of feature lacking :/ plus it is white ... just like the webpage
these white webpages seriously are killing my eyes
15:32
hah
use a script or something
Can we close this as a dup..

Q: Install Python 2.6 on Ubuntu 12.04

OnlyMeHow do I easily and properly install Python 2.6 for Ubuntu 12.04 without using any dodgey hacks? I've checked my local repository and can't see it.

@Mitch yes
@jokerdino Thanks
@Mitch You can't. It has been removed.
> deleted by OnlyMe 4 mins ago
15:39
@Mitch did that work?
@jokerdino 18th means. There isn't any reputation i thought.
@AnwarShah there's reputation, but it's not really viewable
@ObsessiveFOSS a tad late :)
@AnwarShah what Marco said.
@AnwarShah Not yet. I'm still on the clock, so not a lot of time.
@jokerdino How can i see my positition?
15:43
@MarcoCeppi I almost thought I wasn't in the first page. And then I was in the first line :/
jrg
jrg
@ObsessiveFOSS relax. we've all been serial up/downvoted at one point or another.
I was in 2nd line. what that means?
hah. my rep -1
jrg
jrg
Something is wrong when someones meta rep is higher than their main rep.
15:48
haha
don't laugh..
not you
it's painful
jrg
jrg
Although some of them are SE employees, so that's to be expected.
Ok then. still painful
Good bye, meta

I know I should have gone home 5 hours ago, but is this question Ubuntu related?

Q: How do I get my Kodak ESP C310 Printer to print pictures?

AubreyIt's been messing up a lot lately, as in, delays several seconds before printing, then once it starts to print, it takes a long time. It use to print as soon as you would click "Print". But now, it's extremely slow and I'm not sure why. It's not that old. Bought it about a year ago and it worked...

15:53
answered @AnwarShah
Ctrl please
@aking1012 this wasn't i asked, sorry
how can you delete a line quickly as with backspace as the use case no?
Please Don't forget to star the newest ubuntu command sudo unity --distro.
@AnwarShah i flagged it just now
I mean, starring the message. :)
We are learning a lot of new things here. ;P
@jokerdino maybe. i think it could be a software recommendation type of thing. maybe with an appropriate answer of setting up kiosk mode with a limited number of applications
it is long abandoned
15:58
that i'll vtc for as too localised
okay
night
@aking1012 I went with too localized too.
Good night @jokerdino.
@jokerdino Good night
16:00
off to bed
I can flag comments. hmm

Q: Is Vader sincere with Luke in ESB?

GiuseppeNear the end of Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader has a big proposal for Luke: "Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny! Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son! Come with me. It is the only way." Is Vader really intentioned to ...

@aking1012 I learned ctrl+kfrom you. so it was known to me. +1 for help
16:06
np
i know it's not what you asked. i was trying to fix the use case instead
am editing your answer now.
np
@AmithKK yes. the inner dialogue noted in the top voted answer only speaks to his desires, not his sincerity. i believe any sith would recognize power and wish to align himself with it...or take it
on my term ctl-K cuts the line
so it completely solves your deletion issue unless it somehow got remapped
oh. yes, i was wrong... it should be ctrl + e
I actually liked that feature...
16:12
ARM server or x86?
@AnwarShah Alternate CD same thing
sorry. must delete the answer then. though i have got 1 upvote already
@Flabricorn what? x86 is going to be more normal for all software support stuff. ARM is going to be lower power consumption and smaller form facter(generally)
@AnwarShah ? sometimes you solve a problem into an answer by going around it
@aking1012 Thank you, I'm deciding for a simple file transfer server what to use.
i like some of the router-board builds. some of them have file-server packages and usb connections
16:18
@aking1012 Didn't understand
i thought you were telling me to delete my answer to your key repetition question. i was trying to express that it is most easily solved in the use-case you described in a manner other than key repetition
@aking1012 no no. it was a reply to mitch
OH. nevermind then
16:20
I have answered one of his question, my answer did not help. i thought i should delete that then.
If i wanted to tell you delete that, i would not vote that up and edit.
heh
it depends. if your answer could be helpful to others that land there, my opinion is leave it. if it's not exactly the solution he was looking for is not a problem. helpful is what SE builds. not singular Q singular A imo
thanks.
kk
night.
@AnwarShah Good Night
??
@KK thanks
16:26
I shall return later.
I'm out too.
holy... we have a ton of messages going through when i'm not around o.O
why is it everything is slow when i'm around
@LordofTime Duh.. "Lord Of Time". Time bends around you and your internet
i suppose some fear being thrown in to dev/null where i am one with it
BBT
Good Night
16:39
@AmithKK lol
@aking1012 that
this needs formatting and grammar help:

Q: How to run the chromeplus browser?

Markeveryone. I'm new to Linux-Ubuntu. And I was using chromeplus in Window7, it also has a Linux version. So I downloaded it. It's a chromeplus*.tar.gz file. I use the command tar xvzf chromeplus*.tar.gz to unzip the file. And get a bunch of files. I really have no idea about how to run the chrome b...

Can you answer this? Wired Internet doesn't work on ubuntu 12.04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/127678/wired-internet-doesnt-work-on-ubuntu-12-04?atw=1 #internet
@jrg Now it's 14.0.1
17:20
Two questions... has anyone tried the Mac build of NitroShare?
And secondly, how long after running dput do I need to wait before the package shows up in the build queue?
the dput thing should be no longer than like 10 minutes
hi all! does kde still use dolphin as default file browser?
@htorque Yes, I believe.
\o/
time to give kubuntu another try :-)
I gave it a try the other day.
17:45
It sure is taking a long time for the packages to show up in the build queue...
17:55
@GeorgeEdison build queue for where?
PPA?
or Repositories
(also, chekc your primary LP email address, there might be a rejection reason if its not there yet)
@GeorgeEdison also, as an aside...
use that page to view how stressed the builders are and what not (focus on the PPA part)
