@Jrg - when the install borked and I saw they were hiring, I figured I'ld wait for something that installs cleanly first

I changed speeds to taking apart the kindle app for android and trying to get the critical parts of it running on linux instead of crippled linux.

@Seth are you around?

jrg

@AbrahamVanHelpsing ah, cool.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

install this on LTS only is fine...but borks when installing on LTS says pay me

When "Write a script" is a valid answer, it's almost never a friendly answer.

Words of wisdom from the guy that wants to say it SO BAD.

this: askubuntu.com/questions/262935/conditional-program-launcher

jrg

00:32

snowypenguinsolutions.com < YAY. finally have "content" up there. if this is what being a respectable businessman is, i'm not sure i ever want to be respectable. sound so fake. :P

@AbrahamVanHelpsing groans

we've got a like a dozen of those types of questions.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing yeah, i want to say that too.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

if it's a dns problem phone kaminsky. otherwise, reinstall your os and restart all windows boxes on the network. kthxbai

else, accept this youtube.com/watch?v=YJfEQQ_Tl_o

jrg

haha

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Also this: youtube.com/watch?v=5mQGqzUs2l8 and where are MY GUNS

mateo_salta

00:54

@jrg Flavicon Tetris?

jrg

yes, cloudflare includes that.

and i'm like "why the heck not"

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@jrg being respectable is over-rated. having consistent income is not

mateo_salta

@jrg is there suposed to be something other than "Application Error" and tetris there

jrg

should have worked

hangon, checking

mateo_salta

jrg

00:59

yeah, i see it

i goofed something with my domain checker.

mateo_salta

that is what I got, and safari dosn't have tetris :)

jrg

who cares about safari. ;)

mateo_salta

that is why i smiled

on another note, Kubuntu rocks! Here is my desktop so far:

jrg

looks almost 10.04 netbook-ish

mateo_salta

yeah, I grew rather fond of the dual bar layout

I usually use Xubuntu, but I thought I would use this or Unity for my new quad core

AbrahamVanHelpsing

01:05

@jrg safari is just another way to say i have a desire to pay for broken stuff

Seth

@mateo_salta YAY KDE!!

@AbrahamVanHelpsing You have 5 minutes ;)

mateo_salta

@Seth WOOO!

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@Seth 5 minutes until what?

RolandiXor

So... I go for a shower, and when I get back my computer has shut itself down with no explanation.

Ideas?

jrg

ok, fixed @mateo_salta

Seth

01:07

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Five minutes to say whatever you wanted to tell me

AbrahamVanHelpsing

oh it's a comment on meta

Seth

before I'll be gone.

jrg

FOREVER

Seth

@RolandiXor Perfect NARQ man :P

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I see your comment.

mateo_salta

@jrg, education is round?

jrg

01:08

huh?

mateo_salta

@jrg "a technology startup in the IT and education sphere"

jrg

oh, yeah

i suck at copy.

in case you didn't notice.

mateo_salta

just messing with you, sounds good, just think about certain words - I used to use "holistic" until it came to mean something else

jrg

yeah, that's another thing that sucks.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

currently waiting on some idiot to attack on Age of War... don't fail at life and attack someone who plays defesnsively/technology in CIV terms

jrg

01:11

only dictionary i normally use use an ancient websters

and then society has words that no longer mean what they used to, and so i can't use these wonderful words!

RolandiXor

@Seth :)

jrg

is clevelandonrails.com unavailable for all you guys too?

mateo_salta

@RolandiXor Maybe It tried to sleep/hibernate and it is not capible, or the "wake with mouse/keybaord" is not on... or it just crashed.

Seth

@jrg Moves me to penguin world.

jrg

@Seth on the "classes" page, right?

Seth

01:15

@jrg yes

jrg

ok, thanks

once again. everything is a freakin' dns problem

mateo_salta

@jrg the Latin placeholder text is funny if you translate it.

jrg

yay google translate!

i'll deploy star wars ipsum or something

mateo_salta

@jrg oh, one more thing- "ever wanted" is used twice on the classes page, once in the title and again in the body, reads weird if you read the same phrase so close together

jrg

hm.

good catch

AbrahamVanHelpsing

01:21

also...my cleaning day has moved from sunday to thursday. i'm debating on whether to inform the roomie or just let it happen.

that whole don't warn just adapt to idiocy thing.

RolandiXor

02:05

Hi.

jrg

02:30

@RolandiXor: didn't you fix gtalk? ;)

mateo_salta

02:49

hey is this user asking the same question over and over askubuntu.com/users/136796/corey-fairbanks

maggotbrain

@mateo_salta sort of.

mateo_salta

it seems to be one running question about how dropbox messed things up

maggotbrain

@Seth was working with him on one specific question and has two others related to the issue.

@mateo_salta Wait! He has another one??? jeebus...

mateo_salta

yeah

maggotbrain

:-(

vasa1

02:55

Improved his French

maggotbrain

grr. This is maggotbrain not commenting on his Q's I feel his frustration, but...

Seth

@maggotbrain I'm just going to ask him to delete that one and start over.

maggotbrain

@vasa1 Oui, c'était très bon. ;-p

mateo_salta

@vasa1 are you from England?

vasa1

Non! Non! 5.30 h away (IST)

maggotbrain

03:04

Ah. Icelandic Standard Time.

RolandiXor

@jrg yeah I forgot to sign back in

jrg

@RolandiXor oh, cool

Seth

He completely spammed my responses tab... lol

mateo_salta

ah ok, wiki says "In everyday British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English the sense of profanity has largely disappeared; the word there now has a 'catch-all', almost humorous quality, not unlike a minced oath." dosn't mean much in US either

jrg

ahem. i always do

RolandiXor

03:08

Strange, the messaging menu doesn't show on Pantheon.

@jrg you would have to start the convo if you need me

Seth

@RolandiXor Pantheon doesn't work.

Half so well as it could.

vasa1

Ah, humor! Wonder what will happen to this: Less than 40 percent of people with TS have coprolalia ?

maggotbrain

@vasa1 I've heard of glossolalia. But, not copro...I don't wanna know. ;-)

jrg

@RolandiXor no need

was just curious

user19161

Hey @seth!

Seth

03:18

Hello @JacobBlack now blue :)

user19161

@Seth Yes. So are you interested in math?

Seth

@JacobBlack Well.. yes and no.

As in, its an interesting subject when you view the applied part

But I don't take to the theory so much, though that's what you need to know before you apply it ;)

user19161

Anyway, I tried to create the SE open ID to use it to log in instead of say the google or yahoo open ID.

user19161

But I realised it needed an email, so I created it and now I can't change the email associated with the SE open ID, lol.

user19161

Neither can I delete this new SE open ID from my list of login options.

user19161

03:22

Even after deleting it, one can still log in using the created SE open ID, so it seems undeletable!

Seth

Okay, so just hang on a moment.

user19161

Either I am misunderstanding its use, or the way it works seems totally screwed up, lol.

Seth

Lets get this straight from the beginning.

You created a SE OpenID correct?

And you were using Yahoo! before?

or Google?

user19161

Yes, I think that is what it is. If you go to the list of login options, there is something called SE there.

user19161

Well, I added both google and yahoo already.

Seth

03:24

Okay, just a minute.

user19161

Then I wanted to create the SE one to see how it works.

jrg

someone mentioned a mod was needed.

Seth

Q: How do I migrate from Google login to Launchpad login?

I have tried logging in with my Launchpad ID. But it shows me as a totally new user, with rep of 0. I don't want to lose the rep I have here. Thank you.

jrg

so you need the SE openID purged

Seth

@jrg nope.

user19161

03:25

@jrg At least it should be easily purgable.

jrg

and i can't help you, stupid math-only people. ;P

Seth

@JacobBlack Not very different actually ;)

@JacobBlack Does that help you at all?

user19161

But you see, after I remove the SE IDs from my list of logins, I still can log in using that SE ID!

RolandiXor

brb

Seth

You can add your SE ID there.

user19161

03:26

So you see, it seems that SE IDs can't be truly deleted, and if so that seems a security flaw...

Seth

Or am I misunderstanding?

@JacobBlack Ah, deletion... No, not easy.

user19161

@Seth Yes, we can add it from there and also delete some things from there.

RolandiXor

brb

Seth

@JacobBlack You want to purge your SE ID?

As in completely delete it?

user19161

@Seth Yes, that should be easily doable.

Seth

03:28

just a minute.

@JacobBlack openid.stackexchange.com/user

user19161

So after I deleted my SE ID from the list, I logged out. And then I used the same SE ID to log in again!

Seth

Can't seem to delete it without moderator or employee help.

jrg

employee.

user19161

Let me explain why I think it is a security flaw.

Seth

@JacobBlack Yes, you didn't delete your account, you just removed it from your current one.

user19161

03:31

If one day I remove the email account I use to create the SE open ID, I won't use that email anymore. But someone who knows my old email address and the password I use to create the ID will be able to use my SE account.

jrg

mso

Seth

@JacobBlack You can change the email at the link I sent you.

Might have to create a dummy email though.

user19161

@Seth No, my point is, you can't change the email used to create the SE ID, or at least I did not see any option to, though you can change the password.

Seth

@JacobBlack Em, you're right. I read that wrong.

user19161

I wasn't trying for fun, I was trying because I like things to be self-contained, and thought an SE open ID would be a good idea.

Seth

03:33

Yeah...

maggotbrain

dinner calls. Later, folks!

Seth

@maggotbrain Later!

Lucio

Q: Cannot unlock /var/lib/dpkg/lock error

What does this mean? E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? This came after trying to uninstall Dropbox in Terminal... I think Dropbox is for some reason stuck in my Terminal...

installation uninstall dropbox

where is the expletive?

(p.s. it is late here)

(So I might be missing it)

Lucio

@RolandiXor I don't understand what are you trying to say.

RolandiXor

Lol what part did you not understand :)?

Lucio

all =D

RolandiXor

O_o

Lucio

04:30

First, I don't know what you mean with expletive

RolandiXor

There is supposedly an expletive in that question, but I can't find it.

A bad word.

A curse word.

Lucio

If anything: I'm not English native.

RolandiXor

Cool.

Lucio

haha

@RolandiXor BTW, how are you?

RolandiXor

@Lucio I'm good :D

You?

Lucio

04:32

great, thanks

with a pretty big storm by now :(

Until the monday (I hope so)

@RolandiXor Oh, now I understand you. Have you got a flag?

ManishB

My arecord is not working fine and showing error as follows:

RolandiXor

@Lucio yep

@Lucio which country are you in?

Lucio

@RolandiXor Argentina :)

@RolandiXor You know, I was selecting a license for a web page (funny) and I began with CC-BY-NC-SA but after hours thinking I finally choice the most open CC license. And now, I'm feeling like a nice person..

RolandiXor

04:50

@Lucio I like Argentina ^_^

Seth

@Lucio \o

ManishB

My arecord is not working fine and showing error as follows: "Not enforcing symmetric_rates due to race" May I know what causes this error?

Seth

← 2 messages moved from Ubuntu Regulators

Lucio

@Seth Here is the jquery guy! :D

@RolandiXor Have you ever visited it?

Seth

:)

Lucio

04:52

btw, I like CreativeCommons because is more simple to use than GNU/GPL. If I want a license the fastest as I can, I'll choice CC (by now).

Seth

Yeah.

VTR: askubuntu.com/a/180334/44179

Lucio

@Seth done

ManishB

anybody faced problem with arecord in ubuntu

Seth

@ManishB Not that I know of...

@Lucio Thanks :)

Lucio

np

ManishB

04:56

@Seth:Ok

RolandiXor

@Lucio no, but I like it and maybe some day I will

Lucio

@Seth Do you use the comments-pre-forma?

Seth

Just so you know @ManishB I moved your messages here because that other room was for questions that need to be closed ;)

@Lucio Yes I do.

A lot.

Lucio

@RolandiXor Oh, god. If some day you do, you have a home.. ;)

ManishB

@seth: Ok

RolandiXor

04:58

:D

thanks!

Lucio

@Seth Great, me too

@Seth I just noted that I have it. crazy

ManishB

@Seth: I mentioned failed log also .. so I thought to ask it as question.

Seth

@RolandiXor That question is awful. Could you close it and ask the OP to ask another question explaining their problem better? That's what I was going to do but haven't gotten to it yet.

Lucio

@Seth I'm agree with that

If you want a flag, count with my.

Seth

@ManishB Yes, good idea to ask a question. Remember to include as much information about the problem as possible.

@Lucio eh?

ManishB

05:00

@Seth: I mentioned my failed log in that.

Seth

Oh, you did ask a question then?

ManishB

@Seth: Please help me out if you give any clue will be better for me

Seth

Oh, I meant ask a question on the site.

ManishB

@Seth: let me ask it once again

RolandiXor

@Seth mods aren't supposed to lose questions unless the community does something first :)

Seth

05:01

askubuntu.com/questions/ask

@RolandiXor /me will cast first vote.

ManishB

@seth: Ok , thanks

Lucio

@Seth haha, before ask you I didn't know that I have installed it. So I try it and it was working. :)

ManishB

I thought while discussing with a chance to ge an answer

I thought while discussing with you, May be i can find out answer

Seth

Yes, it's fine to bring it up here.

There aren't always a lot of people around to answer though ;)

And not everyone can help.

Can you please ask a new question, explaining all the details of the problem? As it is I don't understand exactly what the question is. Thanks! — Seth 58 secs ago

ManishB

Yes sure, let me explain it once again

and then what you suggested is also right, so i better it on askubuntu.com/questions/ask

Amith KK

05:05

appears

Seth

@AmithKK Hi!

Lucio

oh

well, @Seth good luck with that

Seth

@Lucio I deleted it because I noticed Mateo edited it with the information.

It's OK now...

ManishB

Here are details. I am running arecord to record sound, while recording it., it throws error as "Not enforcing symmetric_rates due to race".

Lucio

@ManishB :O

RolandiXor

05:08

@Seth aight

Amith KK

@Seth Hey

Lucio

@RolandiXor Have you ever used a GNU/GPL license?

RolandiXor

@AmithKK

Lucio

Amith KK

@Lucio Yeah I did :P

RolandiXor

05:10

@Lucio a couple of times, but I've never released anything with it to my memory

Seth

Night everyone.

Lucio

@Seth cya body

Seth

Cya.

Lucio

Because I have a bunch of code (HTML, JS, CSS) and I don't know hot to publish it into the web with a license. I want to left the CSS without any license, but I want to have a license for the other documents.

The HTML is easy, using CC. But the JS is not.

Amith KK

@Lucio never did that

Lucio

05:14

@AmithKK How did you used a license for a software?

And what.. :)

Amith KK

Well it was for a equalizer

on windows for the AC'97

Lucio

oh

And you included the license into the main, or linking it, or.. what?

Amith KK

I included the licence in the .zip

Lucio

as a separated file: LICENSE.txt something like that.

Amith KK

as LICENSE.txt

yeah

Lucio

05:17

haha

And, in every file (.C, .C++ or whatever) did you linking/mentioned it or is not necessary?

Amith KK

python

only in the main file

Lucio

Great, that is useful.

@AmithKK Thank you!

Amith KK

But then again

It had only 16 downloads :P

Lucio

super haha

well, now it will have 17 :P

Amith KK

It's impossible :P

Lucio

05:20

oh

Amith KK

The forum that it was hosted on is now nonexistant

Lucio

i see :(

RIP

Amith KK

and I lost all the binary and source when I wiped a partition or two by accident

meh

I guess it wasn't that hard

there was this soft switch that could turn line-in to a audio out

Lucio

@AmithKK Well, think in positive. You helped 16 persons around the world.

Amith KK

:P

Lucio

05:22

:)

Amith KK

lol

yeah

Can't wait for freyja-dev's waterloo

Lucio

If your software cost $399 as Windows, you should get.. mmm.. 6384 dollars!

Amith KK

It was free :P

:P

And it was damn simple

Lucio

@AmithKK I now..

Amith KK

just a switch and an external eq

this is for only software I guess

Lucio

05:25

@AmithKK Well, let me tell you that I have to be 1 month doing that.

Amith KK

I cheated and used a GUI creator :P

Lucio

@AmithKK That is what did you used?

Amith KK

@Lucio no, I used GPL

Lucio

so, what have to be MIT in this talk?

Amith KK

> The license is also GPL-compatible, meaning that the GPL permits combination and redistribution with software that uses the MIT License.

Lucio

05:26

ok

@AmithKK For python? crazy

Amith KK

@Lucio yeah

for wintk

I was just starting at that time :P

Lucio

What version of Windows?

Amith KK

I was like "cool name for a programming language"

@Lucio XP 2002

I thought Ruby was only for web stuff

And I did once put html files in my documents and expected them to be accessible via the internet

Lucio

@AmithKK Only for you?

Amith KK

No, the whole internet

Microsoft Publisher seemed awesome

and since I didn't really know how to reinstall windows

I had to be a bit careful

Lucio

05:30

@AmithKK I can see them? :D

Amith KK

once, I wandered into system32 and deleted alc<something>

@Lucio Let me search :P

That broke sound

the service engineer came and then reinstalled windows

Eliah Kagan

@AmithKK To clarify -- the combination itself can only be released under the GPL. (The MIT license notices for the parts licensed under that must, of course, still be kept.)

Amith KK

@EliahKagan Oh ok :D

So how many licences exist till now

@Ignite iitk is fast lol

Lucio

@AmithKK Well, thanks to you I will use the GNU/GPL v3.0 license by now.

Amith KK

\o/

Lucio

05:37

Bye CC..

@AmithKK (CYA==='see you later') is this true?

Amith KK

@Lucio yeah

Lucio

Why? It should be SYL.

@AmithKK Is this because of the pronunciation?

Amith KK

@Lucio yeah

Lucio

I though that was the reason, I was right. :)

@AmithKK Are you doing something were I can help you?

Amith KK

amith.dyndns-ip.com/index%20a.htm

lol looks like I need more files

the username and password are anything :P

I think I missed the CSS files

Lucio

05:45

@AmithKK It doesn't work:

Amith KK

@Lucio ?

Lucio

Why did you write index a ?

I get this: (if you know Spanish)

That is not a good host. :)

I know that it's free, but still.

Amith KK

@Lucio Dynamic DNS :P

Can you see the dir listing?

Lucio

@AmithKK What do you mean?

Amith KK

@Lucio does going to amith.dyndns-ip.com get you an index?

Lucio

05:50

@AmithKK Oh, I tried it but no luck.

RolandiXor

Sorry for the delays guys

working on something in Blender

gonna go to bed once I'm done

Lucio

Well, good night to you folk.

Amith KK

@Lucio Good Night

Lucio

@RolandiXor Un abrazo. As we say in my country :)

RolandiXor

Gracias :D

That means hug right?

Lucio

05:52

@RolandiXor Yeah!

RolandiXor

(my Spanish is rusty)

:D

woot

Lucio

@RolandiXor No, is very good :)

@RolandiXor Better than my English, haha.

RolandiXor

Trust me, your English is better than my Spanish :D

I did Spanish in school and since then not much

Lucio

@RolandiXor ok =D

RolandiXor

So I can't really speak it too well :)

But I can understand enough to get by lol

Lucio

05:54

@RolandiXor That is the most important ;)

Good night everybody!

RolandiXor

@Lucio buenos noches :D!

Amith KK

RolandiXor

Oh I see now.
