very few people knows my ym
@RolandTaylor what's e_e?
an emoticon
I don't use Yahoo mail anymore at all
@RolandTaylor yes i know, but what does it mean?
@RolandTaylor why not?
@msPeachy it means what it looks like lol
@msPeachy cause I don't like Yahoo mail
and it's not very popular anymore
It was slow for me, and got too much spam
Every time I sign into Yahoo chat I get spam too
I've finally got wxWidgets packaged.
@RolandTaylor oh okay, well that's why I use disposable emails, that way I don't get spam on my main account
05:04
I now have all of the dependencies of Audacity built.
Unfortunately:
checking for ./lib-src/libsndfile/src/sndfile.h.in...
configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling
How... does one fix that?
o/ George
@GeorgeEdison really?
@GeorgeEdison hi!
The really stupid thing is that it's looking at the copy of libsndfile bundled with Audacity.
...when there's a perfectly good system copy waiting to be used.
That explains something.
Sometimes these applications either include things they don't need to include, or get confused when more than one unix->Windows app is installed.
(I don't know if that made sense the way I wrote it but I know what I mean in my head :P)
05:27
:/
getting chewed up on G+ again :/
hi
school's over and just had lunch
hey
what did you have?
hmm just the usual rice with chicken sauce
@jokerdino I miss being a student :(
@adempewolff you don't.
LIES
05:34
@jokerdino oh, but I do!
I sometimes do too
@adempewolff You are a teacher. Ah that's why.
@RolandTaylor Do my 2000 word essay in 3 hours. Thanks.
Now you don't.
@jokerdino I do 2000 words in 30 minutes.
@RolandTaylor Then do 6 of them. :P
@RolandTaylor wow really
@jokerdino only chicken sauce?
05:36
@msPeachy I did 713 in just about 10(?) minutes of straight writing while stopping to think and to edit - so it's not that hard.
@msPeachy you want to know the full menu?!
Depends on the subject.
@jokerdino lol, nope
plain rice, chicken leg, chicken sauce, veggie.
@jokerdino okay, got it
05:37
If I'm into it I just write until I'm empty of words.
@RolandTaylor oh you're good
@msPeachy not really :P - I'm just a normal person with a writing gift :P
a page is 300 words, if I already know what I'm going to write I could probably do 2.5 pages in ten minutes as well
@RolandTaylor well compared to most normal individual, you're better
My honors thesis was 35,236 words, so looking back on all the shorter essays I've written, they seem pretty easy
05:41
@RolandTaylor oh my. if she is onto us, lose the trail. lose it. lose it quick.
@adempewolff ah, i am not onto it yet
i probably did a max 6k essay
more like extended essay
before the thesis I think my max was 18k or so
but the average were 2000k or so
2000k? O_o
You meant 2000 for sure
@jokerdino :D
@jokerdino you don't want to know what I was getting at when I said that :D
It was a joke - but it was bad :P
(fortunately, it was only virtual)
@msPeachy thank you :D
@RolandTaylor hmm i don't know. i haven't read the before and the after
@msPeachy Trust me right now I needed that - getting chewed up on G+ by "my own kind"
05:45
@jokerdino ah, yes
@RolandTaylor yeah I don't know either
@jokerdino I was telling msPeachy about the down low man
@RolandTaylor oh oooh oOoH~
xD
so I said "she's on to us!"
@jokerdino You two can't get away from me that easy
LOL
05:46
don't worry @msPeachy I'm not a down low man :D
never was, never will be ;)
@RolandTaylor :P
@msPeachy gd luck
@RolandTaylor Yeah I got that the first time, :)
i might lie low. but i don't go down low.
@msPeachy I'm okay witht hat :D
*that
@msPeachy I had to reaffirm my position :P
btw, how many reject for edits does it need for an edit to be rejected?
05:48
one reject?
only one
@RolandTaylor :P okay, position reaffirmed
unless you are on Stack Overflow where you need two reject or two accept
if you reject an edit, sometimes it still shows up for other reviewers because it might have been visible to them from before someone else acted, but they won't be able to act
05:50
reject that edit?
i skipped it
I think I like it more when I do the edits, lol
I mean than to review edits of others
05:51
Now you know why we got you above 2k rep.
It sucks.
@msPeachy it takes some time to get used to
especially when you run into massive edits to say "I hate Ubuntu, so I edited someone else's answer to say it"
(in a nutshell)
@jokerdino lol, sometimes I'm not sure if I should approve, or edit it myself and not tick the helpful box, but then I'd feel bad for the person who suggested the edtit.
@msPeachy well, i am sometimes too lazy to untick the box. just let it go.
@msPeachy in cases where you should edit yourself, you can use the "improve" button
@RolandTaylor yes I did that 4 times since I've reviewed suggested edits, but I always let the "helpful" ticked.
05:55
@msPeachy ok you untick it when the suggested edit is really really bad.
SIGH.

Q: How to cross-compile Audacity?

George EdisonI am attempting to cross-compile Audacity 2.0.1 for Windows from Linux. I have built the core prerequisites (wxWidgets 2.9.4, libsndfile, and expat) for Windows and have them installed at /usr/i686-w64-mingw32. After downloading the source tarball and extracting it, I run configure with the fol...

i'll show you an example.
okay
@RolandTaylor what's this?
@msPeachy revision #2 should possibly be ticked as unhelpful. askubuntu.com/posts/178896/revisions i was a bit lazy there.
@msPeachy click on the arrow
05:58
@RolandTaylor lol, I know, I meant what happened in G+?
"I've trawled through several searches, to no available, so I apologies" :)
was this translated?
@msPeachy long story
but essentially the truth hurts when spoken by me and thus I get a big backlash.
make it short?
lol
@msPeachy maybe. i dont know
@msPeachy I don't know if that's possible.
Also, it's Bible related.
so, off topic big time.
@RolandTaylor you just both said i don't know, lol
@RolandTaylor oh okay then
06:04
I just need to learn that being Mr. Popular is not exactly my lot in life :/
OMG
My ISP needs suing indeed
I have to wait till everyone in the Island is sleeping to get this speed -_-
that's better than my speed
@RolandTaylor well you're quite popular here
@msPeachy lol in a sense
@RolandTaylor well is isn't that bad right?
@msPeachy I guess you could say so
here is one thing,
I don't know I want to discuss this :S
@RolandTaylor okay
06:12
i hit 1k rep whoo
@jokerdino wow, nice
Thanks.
cool
as soon as my installation finishes I'm going in
ok no. i wasn't asking for upvotes.
@jokerdino i just did
06:15
@msPeachy :/
@jokerdino oh you deserve it
No. Not that much.
@jokerdino :)
¯_(ツ)_/¯
06:20
q:

It's a poll. Please cast your vote.
I'm not a member of the group.
And since when was there a poll feature in LP?!
Hi all,

I guess Ubuntu 12.04.1 is scheduled to release today , what will be the time of release.
About 8-10 hours more I think.
Good night everyone.
06:23
@RolandTaylor Good night.
@msPeachy @jokerdino @GeorgeEdison good night :)
@RolandTaylor :-)
@RolandTaylor -Good Night :)
@RolandTaylor Sleep tight
@jokerdino Only members can vote???
06:24
@GeorgeEdison Yeah... :/
Ask for an invite and I'll approve it if you're interested.
OK. In a moment..
Done. Thanks.
In lsb_release it is already showing 12.04.1 , woohooo :)
Bounty offered: How do I set a default Japanese font in addition to a default English font? http://askubuntu.com/q/177647?atw=1 #fonts
@tijybba whoo
06:27
whoa , yep sounds good !!!!
@tijybba if you are already on 12.04, it won't be much of an excitement. :-)
it is just the updates bundled together.
Excited , since i promised some guys to wait and install 12.04.1 , to conserve BW , thats it :))
@GeorgeEdison Voted on FF!
@tijybba Ah, that's a great idea.
06:40
nap time, have a great day everyone. bye!

Some people never sleep.
Hi all

Proof or it was a lie!

Virtual snoring does not count.
zzzz
It counts!

Can anyone help me - my terminal window is still open (appears in alt-tab), but it disappeared off my desktops when I was trying to drag it between screens. Now I can't get it back....
@SteveKroon Super-W
terminal disappearing is a bug in BAMF I think.
jokerdino - what is "Super"?
Meta key / windows key
@jokerdino - If I do that, the window shows, but if I click on it, it doesn't show up
07:23
weird.
what ubuntu version?
fully updated?
busy with some updates right now
alright.
the bug has apparently fixed. you need to update your system.
bug link?
Not that bug - since it does show up in alt-tab, it just doesn't maximize/appear when I select it...
oh, it doesn't take focus?
um - I can't see it anywhere
is it in the launcher?
it has just disappeared - only evidence it is running is the launcher, alt-tab, and super-W
(yes, it does show on the launcher, but clicking there also doesn't make it appear, or even launch a new terminal...)
07:30
:/
I have run another terminal from the HUD, then I can see the other terminal with Alt+`, but I still can't get the window to appear (although it's menu bar seems it might be active at the top of the screen - but I think that spans all the windows for the application?)
izx
izx
@SteveKroon: what are you running in this ghost terminal?
Actually, no, when I Alt+` from the open terminal, I can't access the menu anymore
@izx: 2 screen sessions, ipython session, vim sessions, irc, taskwarrior, and a few other things
izx
izx
When you Alt+`, do you see a snapshot of the missing terminal?
07:35
izx: yes, I do
izx
izx
Is it updating?
erm, it's on a static screen at the moment (task list)
izx
izx
top? ps?
If you use Alt+` to highlight this terminal and then release, what happens?
actually, no, there's a file transfer between 2 machines running on the screen, and it now has the text "actuall" at the bottom of the screen - since I typed the "actually" at the start of this comment....
Doesn't seem to do anything...
izx
izx
OK do that, and when that happens, press Ctrl+Super+Up-arrow
07:41
Doesn't seem to do anything
izx
izx
it should maximize the window if its hidden
(Seems I pressed it in browser first by mistake, which led me to edit my previous comment)
Interesting - when I have the "hidden window" selected, if I type, the typed text appears in the snapshot...
And now more files in the backup list are being displayed, so it seems the answer is, yes, the snapshot is updating.
Good Day all
izx
izx
@SteveKroon Use Alt+` to select hidden window again, press Alt+F8...what happens?
Nothing that I can see
Got it
Seems it was related to this: ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/…
07:51
I new switching to Ubuntu was an excellent move :)
Problem because of the window having "keep on this workspace" activated. Alt-space got me the unmaximize option
@Mitch Java.
Thanks so much for the help, @izx, and @jokerdino
@SteveKroon Ah
Good thing you got it solved.
izx
izx
I found what looks like another bug with the shade/unshade option (Ctrl+Alt+S) - if you shade a terminal and move to another app and shade that, you cannot go back and unshade the terminal
07:53
i set double click on title bar to shade / unshade.
I thought that this was interesting! Oracle plans to join Java hardware speed party
Can this be closed as off topic?

A: Where can I get games for Unity?

njallamThe Unity website does have a list of games made with Unity Just to clarify, the Ubuntu Unity (the default user interface) is different from the Unity game engine (Unity3D).

@karthick87 ST simply replaces cc(email), for example, with all the email addresses, so the popup shows everything.
And it doesn't look like ST has any built-in way to generate an array or a list...

Q: Show total of badge instead of just a tick on badges page

njallamWhen going on the "/badges" page on a StackExchange website. All you are presented with a tick next to badges you have achieved. This in my opinion is perfect for badges that can only be achieved once, but for those you can unlock more than once, e.g. Enlightened. Instead of just showing a...

@jokerdino thank you :)
@karthick87 hopefully the question is deleted / closed
@njallam click on the badge and check the count?
@jokerdino It would be a nice UI addition though to show a number instead of the tick though.
well, it depends actually.
i stopped caring about the zillion badges.
08:42
Well, we'll see what the SE community think.
@jokerdino 1 zillion = 126? Well done - only 2 and you got me. \o/
@Takkat haha yeah.
just 2 short of a round number
Bye @jokerdino & @izx catch you later. Going to have lunch... Bye Bye....
@karthick87 bye
