In theory, libgit2 can clone Git repositories over SSL, but it isn't currently working due to the fact that OpenSSL doesn't see Android's list of certificates.

SPAMMMMM!

@GeorgeEdison nice. why not just let the normal java android crud fetch and check the certificate. then just make sure it matches the one SSL recieves in libgit instead of actually validating it. should be a small patch that saves you loads of time.

George Edison

01:52

I'll see if that could work.

libgit2 directly interfaces with OpenSSL though.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

yeah. i was thinking just subvert that one libgit call and send it to java verify unless it happens all over the place.

It sort of irritates me when people ask way open-ended questions and you try to answer them as best you can QA style. Then people are snarky

RolandiXor

O_o

I had two something's in the corner of my avatar, and they disappeared when I tried to find out where.

user15026

@RolandiXor Were they red?

user15026

They were likely two pops of messages flagged for mod attention

RolandiXor

@AshleyNunn oh that's what they were!

They are normally blue, not so?

(And on the opposite side, right instead of left I think).

user15026

02:05

Blue are spam/innappropriate, on right. Red on left is flagged for mod attention.

RolandiXor

oh I see

oh wait, nvm

I can't believe I never paid attention to that.

user15026

@RolandiXor it works a little different.

user15026

Yeah, I just learned about it recently

Journeyman Geek

yeah

you need a certain amount of rep to see them

and they get handled pretty quick

colour depends on the site too

Lucio

@JourneymanGeek What do you think that should be do with this post?

Journeyman Geek

02:14

thats totally not command line arguements >_>

I'd be tempted to close it, or throw it to stackoverflow

orrrrr

post that as an answer and get the tick ;p

Lucio

@JourneymanGeek I don't understand what do you mean?

You mean, translate the comment into a new answer?

Journeyman Geek

yes

post that as an answer ;p

Lucio

but it is OT!

Journeyman Geek

well, closing it or migrating it would still be my first choice

Lucio

@JourneymanGeek Oh, so, do you mean first, the answer and then, the close. Right?

RolandiXor

02:18

Migrated.

Lucio

@RolandiXor Thanks!

RolandiXor

Np.

Journeyman Geek

now answer it ;p

for zee repz!

Lucio

@JourneymanGeek ok, ok. I'm doing it..

RolandiXor

lol

AbrahamVanHelpsing

02:20

It was someone trolling anyway I suspect. They could have just asked "what's a format string bug?" and self answered with that code blob.

Lucio

@AbrahamVanHelpsing beginners :D

Journeyman Geek

lol

everyone starts somewhere ;p

Lucio

@JourneymanGeek right

AbrahamVanHelpsing

where is oli's canonical will it run on my phone question?

I need to: 2.bp.blogspot.com/_iho2PLIqRTI/TKP7XLjW8-I/AAAAAAAADUs/… a question

Lucio

BTW, Segmentation fault, I don't like that phrase :(

AbrahamVanHelpsing

02:26

I'm sure there's a joke to be had there.

Lucio

@AbrahamVanHelpsing not really :P

AbrahamVanHelpsing

ouch. that might have been the joke.

Lucio

haha

AbrahamVanHelpsing

askubuntu.com/questions/258552/… is the question i was looking for

and the zombies have started again with the whitespace (yes the page loaded scroll way down)

Lucio

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Do you think that I expressed this right?

My English is not so good :)

AbrahamVanHelpsing

02:38

@Lucio You expressed what you were trying to say, but I don't think the substring operation was the root of the problem

Lucio

@learner What means MCA in your bio?

learner

Hi @Lucio its Master of Computer Applications

Lucio

Oh, I see. And do you like the career?

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Mmm, what do you mean?

learner

yes i do.

Lucio

Great!

In what language are you programming now?

learner

02:45

i've studied c, c++, vb, java, and now studying asp.net. but not started to program yet. just some college projects using java

AbrahamVanHelpsing

just don't say pythan. python is awesome, but idiots have been saying pythan a lot in my presence recently.

learner

@Lucio haven't you studied java ?

Lucio

@learner No, no yet.

@AbrahamVanHelpsing I'm an expert in pythan

:)

learner

have you started working then ?

Lucio

@learner No, no yet.

jk

@learner I'm working with PHP, js, etc.

at least till the next week

learner

02:54

mm... js means java script right ?

Lucio

@learner yep

FEichinger

yawn Morning.

learner

@Lucio do you use empathy ?

Lucio

@FEichinger cya

@learner I don't know really, let me see..

@learner Is that a framework?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

if you use default messaging on ubuntu mainline you use empathy

learner

03:02

no no, sorry i didn't mention. I'm talking about empathy(internet messaging in ubuntu)

Lucio

Oh, I did not understand. Well, no, I don't. Why?

learner

I've seen so many questions about and it is not connecting even after i follow all answers provided here. So just asked weather u have faced any such problems and solved it.

Lucio

No, I used that in Ubuntu 11.10 and it didn't like me so I don't use it anymore.

FEichinger

sudo apt-get install pidgin, find out if it's a connection problem or just empathy. :P

learner

ha ha @Lucio . what about you @AbrahamVanHelpsing? are you facing any problem in authentication or "connection failed but error not specified" like that ?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

03:08

i don't use empathy. i'm on alternate with just openbox and a couple of core apps

Lucio

Also, I don't have facebook, twitter or any social

learner

yeah @FEichinger it started from that point itself i just installed pidgin to test and suggest to my friend and then i even uninstalled it. But now empathy permanently failed to connect to bot gmail and fb

:(

AbrahamVanHelpsing

we talked about this problem at length a while ago. it's probably related to ip allowances after logging in to whatever site after logging in to the site with not xmpp. log in to whatever in a browser then try xmpp

FEichinger

@learner That's the beauty of shared resources.

learner

will try @AbrahamVanHelpsing. ha ha So is there is no way i can get empathy working back @FEichinger ?

FEichinger

03:11

I don't use empathy either. :/

Twitter is on my phone, I don't use IM regularly, so ... I just pop into [random web service with appropriate protocol] if ever needed.

learner

ok leave it. It is better even i use that pid... or try some otherthing.

Hello people.

smartboyhw

hello

mojo706

@smartboyhw have you upgraded the Kernel on your version of Ubuntu?

smartboyhw

@mojo706 Why?

mojo706

I want to upgrade to Kernel V-3.7 and I need to know someone who has upgraded and if its possible to upgrade on 12.04?

smartboyhw

@mojo706 Em dunno

/me has Raring

mojo706

09:22

and Raring has 3.5?

smartboyhw

@mojo706 3.8

And welcome our mod @fossfreedom

fossfreedom

o/

smartboyhw

/me is now a Ubuntu member + Kubuntu member

mojo706

welcome @fossfreedom

thanks @smartboyhw

fossfreedom

@smartboyhw you are going to be very busy ... well done - congrats :)

@mojo706 wait a couple of months - you'll get an official 3.8 kernel straight from the repo's.

3.5 is available now.

mojo706

09:25

@fossfreedom in the repos?

fossfreedom

yep - most probably the main repository

mojo706

should I do a back up?

fossfreedom

feeling nervous now ... especially when people start asking that sort of question when they want to change such a fundamental part of linux

im new to the whole Linux thing. I have a Linux server up and running and have been using this guide as a help http://linuxhomeserverguide.com/server-config/Samba.php I have an issue with shared drives.

ubuntu

mojo706

hahaha

I didn't want to do an update when 12.04.2 came out because they asked me to do a back up

smartboyhw

09:29

@fossfreedom :)

mojo706

is it wrong that I asked?

fossfreedom

wrong - no - Q - why do you want to change?

mojo706

mostly graphics improvements

fossfreedom

most of graphics improvements would be via xserver & mesa packages - the kernel alone will not suffice.

that is why the hardware enablement stack was released - 3.5 + xserver/mesa components

mojo706

No I read back in October of increased graphics and sound quality especially for Radeon card holders

fossfreedom

09:39

best to have both

mojo706

both?

fossfreedom

kernel + xserver/mesa

smartboyhw

@mojo706 Install linux-lts-quantal and xserver-xorg-lts quantal

I think

fossfreedom

@smartboyhw thats the hardware enablement stack

smartboyhw

@fossfreedom Yep

:D

mojo706

09:46

thanks @smartboyhw I will

smartboyhw

@mojo706 OK

fossfreedom

backup!

mojo706

@fossfreedom what should I use to back up an image?

smartboyhw

@fossfreedom :D

fossfreedom

@mojo706 my favourite tool is clonezilla to do an image backup
