> ...pre-installed windows7 system which usually comes with the max of 4 primary partitions already used up

is that true???

IgnitE

I guess they usually come up with two partitions only.

Amith KK

@IgnitE Plus Recovery and EFI

Takkat

2 partitons + recovery maybe but what about the 4.th?

Amith KK

@Takkat EFI :P

Takkat

08:59

oh EFI is GPT isnt it?

Amith KK

Yeah

For the UEFI Boot sequence

IgnitE

UEFI on Windows 7?

Takkat

So they mix GPT/MSDOS partitions to be stuck on the 4 part limit?

Amith KK

@IgnitE Yeah

I think that works

I have my 1TB disk on EFI

WinXP can't read it

@IgnitE x64

Takkat

The one and only time I installed 7 it was on two partitions:

another redesign :P

Takkat

Redesigns are for people who believe that after that all other things also are much much better. ;)

IgnitE

It isn't announced yet? Is it?

Amith KK

@IgnitE It is

March 7th

IgnitE

I meant what would the design be like isn't announced yet!

oy. Help comes with a price.

How does the mumble mumble not update my mumble mumble when I am certain that I mumble mumbled the system?

Oh. and by the way. I uninstalled, reconfigured, and edited the config files. So why doesn't it mumble mumble?????

@AmithKK that redesign is only useful for background check/profiler type people. while i agree for that type of person a time selector being prominent would be convenient, most people don't care when what happened if it didn't happen today.

maggotbrain

12:06

Some sneaky spam tonight. At least I got to see the dark side of Bollywood. :-/

AbrahamVanHelpsing

12:18

also, i'm pretty sure it's not a redesign. shrink your window until the chat sidebar disappears and it looks just like that....

IgnitE

13:04

phew! too many networking problems!

Does anyone know of a decent network troubleshooting guide for Ubuntu? For both wired/wireless

@maggotbrain Any movie in particular?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

The archwiki or the freebsd tome both cover networking subsystems really well (admittedly, freebsd network stack is different but similar)

IgnitE

If anyone wants some funny: notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/2010/04/…

IgnitE

Some problems are unique to few laptops. It would be great if we have these listed somewhere

AbrahamVanHelpsing

there's a blanket intel question here. it would be great if all problems just solved themselves...

Q: How can I troubleshoot problems with an Intel wireless card?

How can I troubleshoot the issue? Problems range through: Poor connection speeds Dropped connections Failure to connect Seemingly random disconnects Poor range Card is stuck in hardware disabled state

Good evening!

@RolandiXor As if you are immortal (seriously)?

@smartboyhw you'd be surprised.

But let's leave it at that :)

@RolandiXor Uh. BTW new Gravatar?

RolandiXor

Yeah :)

@RolandiXor How can we actually see it when it's PITCH BLACK!?

RolandiXor

Old, but just brought it back out.

Can't you see my eyes?

@RolandiXor Bah your eyes aren't blue..

RolandiXor

There are a lot of things you don't know about me, I see.

RolandiXor

@AmithKK what?

Amith KK

@RolandiXor It's a somewhat cool mental condition thing

RolandiXor

Actually no, I just have a sense of humour.

It's a rare condition, not many people have it.

Amith KK

jrg

@AmithKK yeah, arch has some nice things.

if ubuntu went rolling, i might consider tinkering with arch, because it'd really cost me nothing.

Also, @jrg

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Should have split the audio from the video and played the video in rewind for a smoother transition with a little audio editing. The infini-gangnam would be hilarious then

Trimble brought sketchup?

jokerdino

@AmithKK From Google?

Amith KK

@jokerdino Yeah

Anyone want a speech recognition program?

jokerdino

wut

Amith KK

@jokerdino Something like "Open Rythmbox"

or "tell me how much memory is left"

jokerdino

You want to write or you have one in action?

Amith KK

15:49

@jokerdino I'm writing one

jokerdino

cool.

we saw a demo for ubuntu, didn't we?

Amith KK

@IgnitE Yeah :P

Lets see how far I can get

IgnitE

omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/02/…

jokerdino

Is that for mobile or desktop?

IgnitE

15:51

currently desktop.

jokerdino

then i am not sure what amith is trying to do.

for fun perhaps?

Amith KK

Yeah :P

fun

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@AmithKK nice

it is nice. julius is what is integrated with unity afaik

that's based solely on this bug though: bugs.launchpad.net/hud/+bug/1131727

jrg

amith is always doing fun things.

Amith KK

making good progress

:P

what did I do, when I was in school o.O ?

Q: beagleboard com and HDMI dispaly

I've installed Ubuntu 11.10,lkde and gem on my BB and I connect to it through serial com. when trying GUI application through the com (e.g. gedit) I get "display not found, though a monitor is connected to the HDMI output. Is it possible to pass display from the serial terminal to the HDMI output?

ubuntu gdm serial-console

AbrahamVanHelpsing

16:11

Here is the exercise. Using an array add an indeterminate number of objects to the array and display the result.

okaaaay... Use an arraylist until the end and cast it to an array. I so cheated, but I wasn't about to implement arraylist myself.

@jrg - you're making a better world...all of them better worlds 3.bp.blogspot.com/_qyhZ9_eXCHM/SbHfI_pcR8I/AAAAAAAAAH0/…

jrg

hm. whats some business idea that people haven't done yet?

something stupidly simple.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

remake the kindle app for linux and make it ad driven

you KNOW when the app is open you have their attention and it's simple to push relevant book ads from amazon

Amith KK

@AbrahamVanHelpsing ?

jrg

that's a business recipe to get sued to hell and back.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

that's fair. i'm still working on cloning the ereader anyway

they have an android client but no linux client. wth

jrg

16:22

anything else worth trying to build?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

a private app-market and device management thing like google-play offers, but that you can deploy to your own metal in non-open network environments

Amith KK

help?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

install python-dev

or add it to your build search path

jrg

16:26

@AbrahamVanHelpsing: Is getting a job different from getting a service contract (from the candidates perspective), in terms of how I should present myself? I remember you saying that you've done some things in the past in this area...

Amith KK

@AbrahamVanHelpsing done installing, now what?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Depends on the client. For some clients it's more severe than getting a job (you NEED this client and they have other options every day). For others it's less severe (client doesn't really have other options that compare to what you're offering). I'm a least effort kind of fellow though.

@AmithKK run it again

Amith KK

Same fail

I'll just use the package

AbrahamVanHelpsing

then it's not in your search path. fix -I

@jrg Ideally you would be able to say that all clients are your most important clients, but sadly we don't live in an ideal world. So client management and prioritization.

jrg

@AbrahamVanHelpsing ok, so i should focus more on the per-client details when i submit my proposal.

as opposed to a job, where i customize my resume for each one, but not as much

AbrahamVanHelpsing

16:36

Yes. The only thing that matters is the gap you're filling. It does NOT matter what else you did.

@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L WAT you installed the ubuntu lts trial?

Takkat

@AbrahamVanHelpsing O.O they say "Trial" - lol

@AmithKK sound is so easy to break :/

AbrahamVanHelpsing

they must be redhat customers

Takkat

yeah - they do that on purpose.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing and posted the same Q here too: askubuntu.com/questions/263128/…

AbrahamVanHelpsing

I think a more appropriate question is how can I clone the grub boot-loader to multiple drives...

Just saying - that's what they really want to know. And a point-and-click guide to do so.

Thomas15v

Question how can i login in this site using the 2.0 api? I am trying to make a notify icon for the ubuntu desktop. api.stackexchange.com/docs/js-lib i tried to make a webpage using this. But nothing works. :(

AbrahamVanHelpsing

16:58

when i wanted to interface with stackexchange or stack chat i drove a full chromium browser with selenium

@Takkat i make a point of not answering those questions regardless of how good they are because it's really asking can we outsource our support to SE...which is not good. help from SE in a support capacity is fine, but altogether outsourcing support to SE is bad.

jrg

i practically outsourced our IT infrastructure documentation to SE.

3

Takkat

@AbrahamVanHelpsing +1

jrg

(or maybe saying that most of our docs are just links to existing SE questions is more accurate)

AbrahamVanHelpsing

using existing questions for documentation is fine. asking core business operation questions on SE is not.

Thomas15v

?

can't follow srr :/

jrg

17:03

@Thomas15v that is a question for stackapps.com

AbrahamVanHelpsing

^^ that

Thomas15v

:D never thoughted so far

ok i will ask it there thanx

jrg

(Sorry, we were having two conversations in this room, and I forgot to use the reply button)

@AbrahamVanHelpsing core business operation questions like "How do I hook this up to nagios". ;P

Who monitors the monitor?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

no. like "how do i make absolute hardware redundancy so i can pay a 16 year old minimum wage to manage our datacenter"

jrg

@AbrahamVanHelpsing well, i could explain that.

but it'd be about triple min wage, i'm not that cheap.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

17:06

you see the point i'm driving at. it's not about the age. it's about the ability to pay unskilled labor.

jrg

lol, i know.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

i think builderbot tinkering would be awesome. what if you could construct quadracopters that wield air compressor powered nailguns. build a house from your laptop

getting the lumber in place would be the difficult problem, but you see where i'm going. it would be cool.

Oh M.Tech :P I'm a B.Tech :P

jokerdino

How useful is the roll number?

IgnitE

It's unique in a college.

and it remains same for your entire stay

jokerdino

17:33

Yeah, I can search all his questions online via his roll number.

He has the same intro every where.

IgnitE

or better still you can see all his asked questions in his profile :P

jokerdino

@IgnitE No, I am talking about the internet.

I have 2 TB of data on an NTFS drive which I would like to convert to EXT4 filesystem. My OS runs on a (comparatively) small 60GB SSD. Is there any way to convert the filesystem, apart from backing up and reformatting?

filesystem ntfs ext4 convert

it probably is pretty risky.

Thomas15v

:@ Wy the cache of ubuntu runs always full and begins to swap?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

18:27

@jokerdino it depends on what you need. just file-copy sure ntfs to ext4 no problem. permissions or continued use from a legacy (windows) operating system? nope.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing nice!

AbrahamVanHelpsing

My new years resolution. To write code 7 days a week (every day). Not because I get paid to (I don't get paid to code). But because now I am getting paid to do SOMETHING and I consider my day job as subsidizing doing things that need doing.

Thomas15v

18:42

?

I code for fun

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Code things that are fun. But coding things that are needed means it's not just m4srbtn

Thomas15v

How many languages you know?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

You don't "know" a language. I'm functional in at least three and can eventually get things done in others.

Thomas15v

? lol i can't follow. But i know VB.net, pyhon, java and C

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Saying you "know" a language is like saying you "know" english. You can function speaking it, but you don't know english

Thomas15v

18:46

Ah i understand it. Indeed I must reform my answer "how many languages you understand?"

Question*

AbrahamVanHelpsing

It might be a language barrier. French for example has two different words for know. English has one. I might be over-equating things.

My answer stands. I can read many and grasp what they're trying to do. I can build things in 3 or so with any proficiency.

mateo_salta

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I once had a phone interview asking if I knew CSS, they then proceed to say that I should know all of it and not look up things on google.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

you didn't want to work there anyway.

mateo_salta

yeah, that was the point that it went downhill.

Thomas15v

Indeed when i code, google is the manual

(except for VB.net)

AbrahamVanHelpsing

18:50

that's like asking an app developer to know all Qt interface classes and methods off-hand. that's what IDEs are for

3

mateo_salta

not google so much, but the places that google can find for you, which most of the manuals are on the internet for coding internet sites

Thomas15v

such as this python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

AbrahamVanHelpsing

or knowing that the interactive prompt provides dir()

Thomas15v

Oke now i need google translate ;D

AbrahamVanHelpsing

python>>>from gi.repository import Gtk
python>>>dir(Gtk.Box)
python>>>help(Gtk.Box)
python>>>

You shouldn't need a website. The built-in docs should work

Goes back to my IDEs comment

Thomas15v

18:54

I know but i like to use ctrl + f to find the correct function

AbrahamVanHelpsing

That's an argument for a better help system, not a website

wait...there IS a website python api docs bridge

mateo_salta

the qt help is awesome, I have found it very nice to look things up with

Thomas15v

i never use qt because i use quickly to code :/

AbrahamVanHelpsing

quickly was intended to be much greater than it was

Thomas15v

But it is a stuppid program. It uses gedit that makes backup and when you would package things it report errors that i need to remove those files first.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

18:58

user image

Thomas15v

Lol it is much more than that.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

the python guys understand that packaging equates to saving the universe

i was working on simply for a while...but it was a one man project and i got really bored super-fast. essentially it was simple instead of quickly thrown together...

mateo_salta

runs out of a disaster :p

then, i didn't use quickly once i realized i was better off packaging python apps myself

Hi guys. What do you think about this answer:

A: Record a programs output with PulseAudio

Waschtl's answer is fantastic. ixtmixilix asked how to restore regular audio after the recording is finished. The easiest way is to (install and) run the pavucontrol GUI. You should see your audio-outputting application and it's volume meter under the "Playback" tab in there. There will be a butt...

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@Lucio ambivalent on that one. they're trying to get to the right place

? Is HTML a programming language? I thought it was only something to add attributes to a website.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

html is most certainly not a programming language

jrg

@Thomas15v that's why its funny. :P

HTML is the HyperText Markup Language, not the Hypertext Programming Language.

it's a way of giving a page structure.

Thomas15v

lol

Lucio

@jrg I was writing that :P

jrg

19:22

and then you have CSS, which allows you to make the page stucture pretty.

Thomas15v

+1

jrg

and then you have javascript, which lets you make the page structure do a barrel roll.

Lucio

@jrg Oh, that is a Programming Language

100%

jk

jrg

(stick "do a barrel roll" into google and you'll see what I mean)

Thomas15v

i know

jrg

19:22

@Lucio CSS is pretty powerful. :P

Lucio

@jrg Yeah! I begin to use it like a month ago

Thomas15v

Lol download askubuntu.com and remove the stylesheet

jrg

while it isn't a full programming language, it can do a lot of stuff.

Lucio

Once you use it, you are addict to it. :P

@jrg Even dynamic stuff, though

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Lucio

19:29

@AbrahamVanHelpsing You are the Internet guy, aren't you?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

If I could move my brain in to electronics I would

@Thomas15v no at all

We have a bit storm by this days. Until tomorrow

The "Adan" storm.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@Thomas15v sun is an indirect dependency for human life not a direct one. sun <- plants <- food <- humans. food being a pseudopackage that encompasses plants, animals that eat plants, and animals that eat animals.

Q: Why is the rating tab in VLC not working?

I can't assign ratings! What is the rating tab for? It has always been blank and doesn't change.

someone want to flag it?

@AbrahamVanHelpsing It sounds that you are building a kernel, not a house :P

@Thomas15v thanks!

Oh, now I see. You mean green-house. Well, good for you :D

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@Thomas15v if you said why you needed a moderator people that know them might ping them for you...

@Lucio i only have a room anyway. so it's not really a reduction in my space
