@Takkat That is weird! I recommend reporting it as a bug (or Meta.AU or, probably better, MSO.)
It may be that it was almost (but not yet) deleted.
@Takkat Why would that explain this?
True.
I mean, that is likely the reason, or close to the reason. But this is still a bug. Btw, the question (and thus also that answer) is deleted now.
08:04
about to write a bug reprot on MSO
It seems the bug was triggered by there being a lot of whitespace at the end of the answer. Check it out (you can click edit on the deleted post--this now appears).
@EliahKagan great!!! That's pro-spamming... :(

@Takkat So, you marry on wednesday?
No - it started on spamday after someday when I was back to work.
I skipped the Fryday because it's too hot.
Weekends are 5 days too short anyway.

Q: PyAudio does not work and bricks sound on ubuntu

Amith KKOk, so I installed pyaudio from the package python-pyaudio using apt-get , now when I Import and Invoke as follows: Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:53:58) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pyaudio >>>...

close this as a bug for bluej
@AmithKK may this be a pulseaudio version issue?
maybe
I know they changed a lot when updating to 1.0, and now 2.0
Is there a python3 audio module to play with?
@Takkat not sure
recording a cover lol :P
I fixed it
by removing bluez

@EliahKagan I don't understand your comment here

A: How to download YouTube videos via HTTPS

qbiYou can install the plugin HTTPS Everywhere for Firefox or Google Chrome. This plugin tries to access YouTube as well as other pages per HTTPS by default. Furthermore the Firefox addons page has several plugins which allow you to download videos. For instance Video DownloadHelper works on several...

Both plugins allow to access and download content via HTTPS.
@qbi What's the connection between "HTTPS everywhere" and using those plugins?
Are you saying "HTTPS everywhere" will actually download YouTube videos to be replayed offline, outside the browser?
qbi
qbi
@EliahKagan HTTPS Everywhere opens YT and other pages using HTTPS by default.
So the OP just has to enter youtube.com… and is forwarded to httpS://youtube.com
@qbi Right, but it's not necessary for doing so. The OP presumably knows how to open a page with HTTPS. What does that have to do with downloading YouTube videos?
qbi
qbi
It's a convenience feature.
I'm not saying you shouldn't recommend that plugin in your answer, but the connection between your recommendation of it and the question being asked is unclear.
qbi
qbi
09:34
I assume that he is behind some restrictive firewall (censorship) and then HTTPS Everywhere will help also in other cases
Also, you've put your recommendation of that plugin first, as though use of the other plugins for HTTPS is contingent on using it.
qbi
qbi
AFK for some minutes
@qbi That makes sense. Maybe explain that in the answer? Either way, I'll remove my comment (either your post says what you want it to, or it does not, my comment doesn't really help anyone else and your post certainly is an answer).

Q: Duplicate or other options?

JaiFor example there is a question which is not under our norms(Ask Ubuntu) but it was answered previously with some other same question. So what we have to do now ? We need to close it as offtopic or close as duplicate ?

@AmithKK i didn't watch that far.

he thought we wouldn't notice, but I did
either debian, or 10.04.

@jrg KDE sticks similar labels on screens
jrg
jrg
that's a GNOME-based chromium theme/setup if I ever saw one.
Oli
Oli
In fairness Chrome looks exactly the same under KDE
jrg
jrg
not under the KDEs i've used.
i remember chrome looking different under KDE. but, i also don't use KDE day-to-day.
Oli
Oli
Nvm, the display labels are quite a bit bigger in KDE. And in the middle of the screen. And nothing like those which are clearly gnome ones.
jrg
jrg
13:59
yay. i'm now an operating connoisseur. or something.
or a nutcase.
that last one is possible.
Oli
Oli
But yeah, at least here (on a system that was GNOME before it was KDE) Chrome looks pretty much like Chrome wherever you are.
jrg
jrg
ah, that might be the difference.
mine was KDE from the start (as i recall)

@AmithKK NO.

C for kernels.
Ruby for webapps.
JavaScript for browsers.
Perl for text
Lisp for when you only have emacs installed.
Python for weird things.
.NET for stackexchange.
Java for Minecraft.
And that is the programming stack.

nope, doesn't look like it. parrot.org/source.html

@jrg @jokerdino is it legal to run for Kubuntu membership after gaining Ubuntu membership?
@jrg you saw that i knew you were trouble goat mix?
@smartboyhw aren't they the same thing?
@jokerdino kubuntu is no longer part of ubuntu
14:36
@jokerdino Not exactly. Kubuntu membership gives you more -dev rights....
And Kubuntu council nominations rights
@AmithKK It is still a deriative duh
let me read up on it
i dont think it is "illegal". up to you to proceed on both fronts.
@smartboyhw nope ... not to my research
but it will significantly dent your commitment to any of the projects.
@AmithKK !?
@jokerdino I know
i would rather go after Ubuntu Motu :P
14:38
@AmithKK What!?
@jokerdino I will one day:P
@jokerdino One of my core jobs at Kubuntu is packaging
what were you doing at Ubuntu studio?

Q: Ubuntu: can't find ndbm.h

This isn't a dependency problem is it?
No it's not. Errg.

Seriously?
Did Canonical even stop to consider the cost of this?
@RolandiXor can you make a synonym for me?
@Seth of?
ahh
Good call.
Done
@RolandiXor Thanks :)
@Seth np
Got a few more if you're up to it ;)
19:11
Sure :)
I was tackling some work related stuff, but I can put it on hold for now.
add on and plugins... difficult call there.
Because in many applications they are two very different things.
@RolandiXor Look at current synoynms
That's what I was going on.
The first two should not be synonyms :S
For example, in Firefox and Chrome, plugins are not the same as addons/extensions.
Flash is a plugin, Adblock is an addon.
OK, technical question. Remember a while back I recompiled my kernel for hardware support? Well, now I can't upgrade it. What should I do?
19:15
@RolandiXor That's true I guess...
@njallam Ask a question.
@Seth the challenge is that because we've created so many synonyms in this case (wrong ones), we can't just "undo" it :P
@RolandiXor How 'bout --> ?
@RolandiXor but that involves formatting effort!
In chat it gets fragmented though.
All hard problems should go to a question.
@Seth hmm...
@Seth +100
@njallam effort is overrated.

I've got a Steam for Linux bug to report
Something tells me you are averse to askubuntu.com/questions/ask
:)
I don't like asking, I feel like a burden. I prefer figuring things out.
19:21
O_o
Then why are you here? (Honest question).
Well, I don't like making formal questions
Ask Ubuntu exists for a reason... and a large part of that is so people can Ask questions and get them Answered.

@njallam asking important things will help others when they read answers. It is definitely not a burden.
I like asking around in chat to see if anyone knows
^--- wrong way.
19:23
OK
I just want to report this bug first
What is the unity button called?
@learner When editing a question please look it over and make sure there aren't other issues that need to be fixed before submitting. I have approved this one for now, but I was really on the fence. If you were fixing the only problem it would have been fine, but there were several others.
@njallam Doesn't really have a name iirc
@njallam I don't think it has a formal name. People call it the BFB, the Home button, etc.
It's connected to "The Dash" <-- Yes, capital D
I'm just going to call it the Unity Button :P
It says "Dash Home" on mouse hovering.
19:25
Good point.
true
It no longer does in Ubuntu 13.04.
why all is different on every other release... >:(

Does that mean that after next April, the X stack and Wayland will no longer
be maintained by Canonical, so that flavors that are using a standard display

running a full stack like that is going to be touch.
