@FEichinger I heard that you had to marry last night?

FEichinger

10:01

@badp The fact that I had to write something up to avoid cussing the living crap out of them ... well.

@AmithKK Not really, no.

@AmithKK Why try to solve a solved problem?

Mochan

@FEichinger Oh I thought it was just one-word questions :S

FEichinger

@Mochan No, it was questions starting in "W"!

Mochan

@FEichinger says you

badp

Mochan

10:05

You know, I never really see any more ads anymore

FEichinger

@AmithKK I didn't need caffeine to stay awake last night ... Nope.

Mochan

Like the weird Ask Ubuntu question advertisements

FEichinger

@Mochan Huh?

Mochan

@FEichinger You know

The automated ones

Amith KK

@badp That's a Portal 2 reference?

Mochan

@badp yaaaay

Amith KK

Keep it up guys

Mochan

@FEichinger Am I the only one? @AmithKK? @badp?

FEichinger

10:07

@Mochan Looks like it.

Amith KK

this is the most activity we've had in the afternoon :P

badp

I don't really pay them much mind.

Amith KK

@Mochan yep

FEichinger

Ads tend to be automated, for that matter.

Amith KK

@badp Hey, I worked on some of them :P

badp

10:07

I'm more interested to find out if the lack of a libcore.so file might be what's keeping Unity from launching

Amith KK

@badp +1

Mochan

There's always activity when I'm here

badp

...sadly Unity launches more completely from within XFCE than it does from within the default environment

I mean, it kinda replaced the window decorations.

FEichinger

@Mochan That's because you're awesome and all!

Mochan

I miss the days when I used to dominate the star board. Those days are long gone XD

badp

10:09

It also doesn't complain about libcore.so anymore. Sigh.

Mochan

@FEichinger Tell me something I don't know XD

FEichinger

@Mochan You are a sneaky, sneaky ninja-editor!

Mochan

@FEichinger Quite

FEichinger

@Mochan Indeed.

Mochan

@FEichinger Heh heh more ninja editing

Amith KK

10:11

@FEichinger Did you finish all your work for today :P

Mochan

Look how many buttons I have!

FEichinger

@AmithKK I didn't work at all, sadly.

I wanted to.

Mochan

@FEichinger gasp

Amith KK

Mochan

@FEichinger double gasp

Amith KK

I thought you'd give me a yes

FEichinger

Then The Great Bridge Evacuation happened.

Mochan

@AmithKK triple gasp

Amith KK

Mochan

@FEichinger quadruple gasp

@AmithKK ?

Amith KK

Q: Why does this PNG image display differently in Chrome & Firefox than in Safari and IE?

Check this image out: On Chrome and Firefox it will show as a pear. Now, try to save it and look at it saved on your desktop. Also, try viewing in safari or IE. It will display as an apple! Try clicking the image and moving it around, you will notice the apple appears. I guess my question w...

Here's an instruction on how to do this with photoshop and tweakpng

@AmithKK @FEichinger what was the 'work' you were speaking of earlier, anyway?

Mahesh

@Mochan I was addressing you. :P

Mochan

@Mahesh hahaha I thought so. Yeah definitely long time no see

Amith KK

@Mochan I dunno. Do you @FEichinger?

FEichinger

@AmithKK I don't, no.

Amith KK

FEichinger

@Mochan MAKEY NO SENSEY!

Mochan

10:41

@FEichinger CLICK THE LINK, READ THE CONVERSATION.

Make sense now?

Capslock fixes everything

FEichinger

@Mochan I DID! It doesn't.

Mochan

@FEichinger oh .-.

@FEichinger What was the work you had to do though? * curiousness*

FEichinger

@Mochan The work I planned to do was coding multiple kinds of stuff.

Mochan

@FEichinger ok

Amith KK

@Mochan the chat broke him

Mochan

If I set a .gif as a wallpaper, will it still move?

FEichinger

Trial and Error.

Mochan

@FEichinger yeah. error

Amith KK

FEichinger

@AmithKK UGH.

Mochan

Q: Reading ReStructured text on android?

I found/got referred to this book : http://www.djangobook.com/ Which had a github page having file in the .rst(ReStructuredText) format. What is a format that I can compile this to so that it can be read by some app on an android device and how?

google-play-store 4.2-jelly-bean ebooks

Mahesh

@AmithKK text editor should do.

or write your own app to display rest as formatting

or compile it to html or pdf

Amith KK

@Mahesh how ?

Mahesh

10:57

gimme a second

and pdflatex can make pdf out of latex.

python sphinx can make latex out of rest

I'm looking at better ways.

code.google.com/p/rst2pdf

sudo apt-get install rst2pdf

Amith KK

@Mahesh Can it do it with index and stuff like that?

Like, just pdi-ize the whole book so that I can import to aldiko

Mahesh

it probably does.

check it.

Yep. Change that.

FEichinger

Nah.

Mochan

11:27

I just did a paid survey... 1,000 more points and I get 20 goddamn dollars...

"Paid" survery my ass

FEichinger

... o.ô

Mochan

Yah... 20c per survey if you think about it

Why do I do this to myself? XD

Anything for some moolah on the side. Almost anything.

FEichinger

The star list doesn't really read "almost".

maggotbrain

I think that I permanently scarred my poor little PIII forcing it to compile gcc tonight. :-(

FEichinger

@badp It is back in the Bridge. sigh

maggotbrain

It's making so much noise even the cats won't come near.

Mochan

@FEichinger :3

@maggotbrain :(

FEichinger

@Mochan :P

@FEichinger :)

maggotbrain

@Mochan We've never heard it make that noise before... ;-)

Mochan

@maggotbrain Another discovery made by mankind!

maggotbrain

11:40

@Mochan Who knew that compilation was a cat repellent...

FEichinger

@maggotbrain Any side effects encountered yet?

Exactly.

Just make sure that the case is off so the fans whirrr at an ungodly volume. It helps.

@Mochan Paid surveys are only a good modus operandi for indie game devs for in-game currency to players due to volume of completion. (Operation7 did this)

Mochan

Anyways, see you in a couple of minutes, guys.

gratz :D

Rinzwind

mysql server fell over and did not want to restart... took the whole of this morning to fix.. and the fix was going back to the backup

Call me V

... oh noes ...

Rinzwind

12:07

ibdata1 was corrupted... was a 18Gb large file :Z

fun :-P

Call me V

There's a first, last, and always rule to be had there:
backup first, last, and always *similar to fire first, last, and always, but in reverse*

Amith KK

Anybody here?

appears

Rinzwind

@CallmeV well we proved that the backup worked :)

Amith KK

@Mochan Still there?

Mochan

@AmithKK yup

Call me V

12:15

@Rinzwind Yes. I knew a company that had a backup system running, but they never tested it. Guess what happened when they tried to restore? rageface

glad it worked out for you though

Mochan

@AmithKK Good call tagging me, I wouldn't have bothered to check back otherwise XD

Rinzwind

@oli hi-jacking my comments?

@CallmeV I got a story for you...

FEichinger

@Mochan You never care about us!

Mochan

@FEichinger Well, there's no use denying it.

Haha just kidding.

FEichinger

@Mochan Y_Y

Rinzwind

12:16

company made a backup for 5 years... at 17:00 they put in a tape and made a backup. At some point in time in the morning the backup asked for a 2nd volume. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo they put back in the tape it spit out .....

needless to say that when the server crashed and needed to be restored there was no backup.

well a partial backup that is.

I was looking at the privileges and found that the reputation required for the trusted user privilege is more than that required for access to moderator tools. Why is it so?

@AmithKK move what?

@fossfreedom re: bug #1165909 you reported on LP, can you confirm the version of gir1.2-gtk-3.0 you have installed?

@fossfreedom All offtopic anime/lol stuff

FEichinger

@fossfreedom The last half an hour.

Mahesh

@CallmeV Thanks. :)

ændrük

12:33

What is so confusing about this question? Three people seem to think I'm asking about AU itself and and two think that adding words to my local dictionary is relevant.

Rinzwind

can anyone give me a list of this deb file: codeandweb.com/texturepacker/start-download?os=ubuntu64

fossfreedom

@Mahesh that unity-tweak bug? Whatever version raring comes with - I wouldnt have upgraded/downgraded it.

Mochan

@FEichinger >:P

Call me V

@ændrük afaik the dictionary is in the browser not the website, so you can't fix it on the au end

Rinzwind

@ændrük I do find it confusing since there is NO central database. It is ALL local.

FEichinger

12:34

@Mochan Hey, I didn't say "Everything since Mochan hopped in." :P

ændrük

I'm asking how to contribute to Ubuntu, not customize it for myself.

Mochan

@FEichinger I'm always worth having around, even if everything I say is off-topic

Mahesh

@fossfreedom Okay. Assuming you have no ppas enabled, that must be it. :)

FEichinger

@Mochan Yes, you are. Gaspinator.

2

Mochan

@FEichinger le gasp

Rinzwind

12:35

@ændrük there is no contributing for Ubuntu :=)

FEichinger

@ændrük This has nothing to do with Ubuntu, though. It's Firefox.

ændrük

Whatever mechanism(s) Ubuntu uses for spell checking don't work as well as I would like, so I'm interested in improving them for everyone.

Amith KK

@Gaspinator again?

Call me V

@ændrük file a bug against the package that holds the dictionary asking for a word add then

Rinzwind

@ændrük sorry!? you still assume Ubuntu is responsible for the underlining?

Amith KK

12:36

I can imagine foss selecting everything lol

Mochan

@AmithKK Yeah, I'm not sure who that is. Care to enlighten me?

Mahesh

@ændrük The spellcheck is done by firefox. To verify, if you have access to Firefox on windows, check if the same word is underlined there.

Mochan

@Mahesh firecox? O_O

2 mins ago, by FEichinger

@Mochan Yes, you are. Gaspinator.

Mochan

@AmithKK Who?

Rinzwind

12:37

@Mahesh heck I already proved it is not. CHROMIUM does not underline and takes its data from the web directly

Amith KK

Cmon. don't stare at me like that

Mahesh

if yes, you should consider contributing to firefox.

Mochan

@Rinzwind Woo! Chromium! \o/

@Mahesh I think you mean firecox. DAMN IT WHY DID YOU EDIT THAT!?

Thank you @fossfreedom

Mochan

@fossfreedom Hahahahahahahahaaaaaa thanks hahaha

Mahesh

@Mochan :P

Call me V

@Rinzwind chromium does squiggly underline it for me. maybe en-gb vs en-us?

FEichinger

@Mochan You just see what you want to see. There is no "Firecox" there.

Rinzwind

12:39

@CallmeV not for me :D

I am using dutch btw >:)

(and it is NOT a dutch word)

Nevertheless: Ubuntu has nothign to do with it >:D

Call me V

agreed

Yeah, that's what I meant. It might not try to trans from en-gb to en-us but it would be in the look-up if it tried generic translation. (or something similar)

jrg

@AmithKK ok

ændrük

Thank you, your responses demonstrated more clearly to me the misunderstandings people have of my question. I'll work on rewording it.

Mochan

@jrg oh... @jrg you would soooo kill me if you see what state this room was in

FEichinger

@ændrük I'm fairly certain the misunderstandings are on your end.

jrg

12:45

@Mochan i'm looking at the stars, and I see enough that I want to say away.

Amith KK

@jrg Haha

:P

@jrg Move all of those too please :P

Mochan

@jrg ah..haha...

@AmithKK no!!!

FEichinger

This is why you always need someone sane around @Mochan.

Mochan

@FEichinger This off-topic chat has been very educational

Call me V

@FEichinger It's possible he's going to reword it "how can I get a word added to the global dictionary for firefox for all users in all locations" which goes back to filing a bug against the browser dictionary and requesting a word add or some other change in the browser

FEichinger

@CallmeV Which I'd consider off-topic here.
