Q: Is there a way to send PM via Askubuntu?

Sometimes I would like to contact one Askubuntu user directly (for example to talk about a subject which is not directly related to Ubuntu). Is there a way to send a message to somebody? (like PM in forums) (sorry if the answer is obvious or already present somewhere-else)

Eliah Kagan

@jrg Yes, now that it's migrated (thx!), I think we should close that question as a duplicate of:

Q: Why doesn't AU allow users to privately communicate?

I don't know why askubuntu doesn't have a way for users to communicate with each other like as we have in Ubuntu Forums (via private messages). If the reason is preventing malicious activities like spamming, etc., then perhaps we can make "private messaging" a privilege granted only upon reachin...

feature-request user-communication

Another possibility is:

Q: Is there a way to directly contact a user?

If I want to directly contact a user, instead of just commenting on a post of his, is there a way a can do that? This could be useful, for instance, in providing guidance to a new user.

discussion users

But that question doesn't have as much information in it about rationale and alternatives, and is more specifically related to wanting to reply to something someone said, so I think this one is a better dupe target.

@LordofTime: Back.

Lord of Time

@GeorgeEdison Welcome back to /dev/chaos. Would you like the usual serving of /dev/chaos, or would you like a double serving?

George Edison

:)

@JorgeCastro: What's this about web apps?

@LordofTime: I've connected the two teams (by accepting the invite).

Lord of Time

@GeorgeEdison cool, that means that everyone in devs will also get ubuntu bug notices for stackapplet :)

which means that i dont have to be a dev to see the bugs

George Edison

17:11

Perfect.

Lord of Time

(although i see them anyways)

(actually, i see more than just the bugs the dev team will see... :p)

@GeorgeEdison the one advantage to having me on the ubuntu side of the stackapplet bugs, is that i see the crash bugs :P

George Edison

Yeah, those are marked private by default, right?

Lord of Time

okay, now i'm damned hungry

@GeorgeEdison typically they're private yes.

although security bugs can also be marked as embargoed security

see this: blog.launchpad.net/general/…

private is onw "User Data" i think

George Edison

@rlemon: Did you hear the good news?

Lord of Time

this one's got private, so...

@GeorgeEdison Justin Bieber was assassinated?

@rlemon Er, no... the Stack Exchange API has write access.

yea... tardis has nothing compared to the son of Jor-El

I love the doctor... but to be fair I loved superman WAY before I even knew of the doctor. ergo superman will always win. there is no point arguing it. also the ninja turtles will kick everyones ass.

Jorge Castro

@GeorgeEdison sorry I was at lunch

@GeorgeEdison basically for 12.10 ubuntu will ship with webapp support in Firefox and Chromium

so we can do support for the chat and the site with the package

basically, what if we put all the things stackapps does but in a userscript and it gets shipped in the browser

George Edison

17:56

@JorgeCastro That sounds neat.

You mention Chromium specifically, does that mean Chrome is excluded?

Jorge Castro

it doesn't work with chrome right now

it's sort of half working

but it's still alpha stuff

George Edison

Ah, I see.

@EliahKagan Why not link to the answer in question?

Takkat

18:06

and fugue

SirCharlo

yes lets all have a look see

Stephen Myall

@JorgeCastro. Just curious, but why did you remove the word Ubuntu from this question title. askubuntu.com/questions/158572/…

Takkat

@StephenMyall: it's all about Ubuntu here ;)

Jorge Castro

@StephenMyall it's redundant, of course you mean ubuntu

Stephen Myall

of course thats what i meant :-). Where you a school teacher at some stage? You would make great one

Jorge Castro

18:15

we don't need "on ubuntu" on every question, we would go insane

no, it's just advanced common sense

:)

Stephen Myall

np , will keep that in mind

Thx

Takkat

There are exceptions however: askubuntu.com/search?q=ubuntu

Not all of these 4521 are exceptions

Jorge Castro

yeah, sometimes you can't really avoid it

but for most questions you can, it's really just a standalone sentence with "on ubuntu" at the end

actually, there's alot of editing improvements one can do on the site just by fixing up ones with "ubuntu" in them

Stephen Myall

Is that a hint?

Takkat

That alone would make a Copy Editor

Jorge Castro

18:20

or ones with "problem" are good ones

aking1012

@JorgeCastro lollerskates

Jorge Castro

"firefox problem" and so on

Takkat

No sound still is my favorite (only that I cant think of a sensible canonical answer to that one)

That would make 100 pages or so.

Stephen Myall

I will look out for these are earn myself some badges

Jorge Castro

"problem" "issue", etc.

usually you can just read the question and then edit the title to make sense

Takkat

18:24

This is a good one too: askubuntu.com/…

Stephen Myall

I may have been guilty of a few of those

SirCharlo

Ah, what a lovely adverb

Jorge Castro

it's non-obvious to most people until you realize you need to unlearn most things to use SE.

there was one post

where someone was like "I noticed you rewrote the question to be grammatically correct, is that how we're supposed to do it?" or something like that

it's like man, is the internet that bad that you have to ask someone that.

aking1012

SirCharlo

i edited a question to make it more generic and thus perhaps more useful to others..

but im wondering if i did a good thing..

1

Q: How to uninstall a program installed through Wine

I installed Picasa 3.9 with Wine, but I did not like it, and now I want to delete it. I tried uninstalling Picasa with the option from Picasa help menu but it didn't work. How do I fully uninstall Picasa from Wine?

wine uninstall winetricks google-picasa

what do you think?

aking1012

18:30

@SirCharlo i've done that. it's usually good

Takkat

@SirCharlo good idea.

aking1012

um, completely purge ~/.wine/drive_c to uninstall a single program is a poor answer imo

Takkat

It get s rid of the program though ;P

aking1012

well sudo rm -Rf / get's rid of a conf file in /etc too...

Takkat

I learned that the only way to be sure you removed a program in Windows is format c:

SirCharlo

18:33

you're right, i should've thought of that

:P

the comments were removed, but the op told me that this was the only app installed in that prefix

which is why i proposed that solution

someone then prompted me to post my comment as an answere

aking1012

okay. if we're making it generic we should think about that. i personally would be pissed if i did that and it nuked stuff

i wonder if regshot runs in wine. probably does. so maybe advice on backing up the registry and purging directories in drive_c would be appropriate?

Lord of Time

@aking1012 i was just making a statement its not an all inclusive list

that's all

aking1012

kk

SirCharlo

what regshot?

Lord of Time

if i felt it were necessary that all my acronyms that I use were listed, there would be a CW post of my own there that comprised 25 additional used-solely-by-me expressions.

but since most of them arent commonplace here, there's no need

by the way... DAMN, it is raining out there!

aking1012

aking1012

baby steps: launchpad.net/~aking1012-com/+archive/simply

@Roland might find it interesting that i'm wrapping up xmiparser, glade files, and trying to separate code from declarations to make sketching at intermediate steps possibly

George Edison

@JorgeCastro Out of the box? That is awesome.

Roland Taylor

@aking1012 Sounds interesting indeed :)

Jorge Castro

right, now you see why I was excited

basically, it's stackapplet out of the box

they do notifications, launchers, etc.

hell, really, you could probably do the entire lens in this right?

George Edison

Possibly.

I'll read through that page and see.

Jorge Castro

18:51

/me nods

but hey, even just notifications, the message integration, and the launcher integration would be a big win

I'll find out about the rest.

aking1012

you lost me at "HUD Actions" I immediately disabled HUD when it overrode Alt

Jorge Castro

shrug, hud is awesome

I want to do things like alt -> "ask a question"

George Edison

Do the integration scripts get bundled with Unity?

aking1012

@JorgeCastro I agree it was a great idea. I think it should have been super-H or something though. Overriding something ubiquitous is either thank us for forcing your workflow or nope you lose.

Jorge Castro

I don't have any shortcuts that are just Alt

@GeorgeEdison yep, there's a bunch

hold on let me just show you the question

aking1012

18:56

open built-in menus isn't alt for you?

Jorge Castro

it's alt + a key for me

George Edison

Can I install the new version of Unity that includes web app integration on Precise?

Is there some PPA I can use for that?

aking1012

@JorgeCastro okay i see where that's going, but it's over-riding an intuitive behavior

Jorge Castro

I didn't even know alt by itself opened a menu

@GeorgeEdison yep

Q: How do I install and use Ubuntu's web application integration?

I've read that Ubuntu will support web applications out of the box, how can I set this up on my computer to play with it?

webapps

@GeorgeEdison what browser do you use?

George Edison

Firefox 14.

aking1012

18:59

@JorgeCastro just checked and fair point. i need to re-enable hud and see if it still does key-stealing. when i checked probably during alpha alt-F didn't work to get to the file menu b/c hud took focus

Jorge Castro

@GeorgeEdison ok this will replace your FF but don't worry it's the same version

George Edison

Okay.

Lord of Time

hey @GeorgeEdison was this ever fixed:

Unknown Error when Accessing Nonexistant User Info

I noticed this when I recovered my StackApplet configs from my previous OS install. This config included a user from a closed beta of a StackExchange Site, and that user data was removed when it was shut down. The system says "Unknown Error" in place of a nonexistent user. Is this a bug, or is this by-design? If it is a bug, could it be written to be saying "Unknown User" rather than "Unknown Error"? Attached is a screenshot to show the issue. OS: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty), 64bit

StackApplet

Low / Confirmed

George Edison

Not really... but it's irrelevant for 1.6alpha now.

@JorgeCastro When I go to install unity-webapps-preview, it tries to install Chromium.

Jorge Castro

yeah they include chromium for some reason

you can remove it after though

George Edison

19:04

Okay (I say that because my Ubuntu partition is really low on disk space).

Lord of Time

@GeorgeEdison you might want to mark it as "Won't Fix" and make a note of "Obsolete" in there on the StackApplet project part

i'll "Won't Fix" in ubuntu too if you want

George Edison

Sure.

Lord of Time

@GeorgeEdison i don't want to nag people about bugs, its not my style. Except that error was still happening yesterday on 12.04, so... :P

1.5 and then 1.6 needs to be put into Debian :P

George Edison

1.6 isn't ready yet.

@aking1012 unless the bug is an ubuntu bug

with LPAdmins being UberGods

and Canonical being the Supreme Beings.

aking1012

happens. sometimes even gods are over-ridden. but if they do it too much then content is lost.

Lord of Time

mhm

i mean if the bug was against the Ubuntu package I'd mark it as "Wishlist" and "Triaged" according to Ubuntu BugSquad policies

and then upstream it

in this case it never was filed against the package (probably wasnt in Debian/Ubuntu yet)

now... THIS BUG was one I filed, and is filed against both upstream and the package in ubuntu

so the ubuntu package part falls under BugControl Godliness

the upstream part falls to George

A: Software for speech transcription

Automatic speech-to-text software that accurately transcribes audio is still a ways off. Problems that human brains can handle a lot better than computer algorithms include multiple speakers, accents, speech impediments, variable audio quality, etc. I blogged about this a while ago: http://resea...

There's no clear reason to think the author really believed it would be helpful to the OP, as there's no mention of whether or not you can run it in Ubuntu, even after comments pointed out that it would be useful to know that.

one it's blog link dropping. two the software it links to is windows/mac not linux

Q: Ubuntu 32bit or 64bit

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 32bit and was wondering if 64bit is any better and what are the benefits?

Q: What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit and which should I choose?

What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu? I've heard the 64-bit platform performs better and can detect more than 4GB of RAM. Also, while some apps haven't ported to 64-bit yet, ia32-libs lets a 64-bit machine run them. If so, why not promote 64-bit over 32-bit?

Q: How do I disable use of alt (command) key?

I know this question has been asked before, but none of the solutions work.* I'm on an MacBook Pro, running Ubuntu 12.04 on VMware Fusion. Is there any way to disable the alt key? Every time I press it, the search window pops up and it's really annoying me. Please help! I want to rid myself of ...

@aking1012 I'm sure there are a few more than that, but it doesn't mean that they're always around & know what questions need closing

aking1012

fair point

anyone around in eastern NC that wants to do this to my head?

@aking1012 Voting to close requires 3000 reputation, so there are 113 registered users who can do it. But of course, as @ajmitch says, they're not always around.

i more meant that bother with either chat or maintaining the site beyond just gathering rep

"No space left on device" is not a nice error from rsync when I had ~80GB free to start with

it's probably safe for me to get rid of some old ubuntu ISOs now
