@Lucio heh... team usa singing oh canada as they win some event right?

Q: Apache Server on different disk partitions

JaxonI have an Apache server installed with Debian. Later, I partitioned my hard drive and installed Ubuntu on the new partition. Afterwards, I realized I could not access my Apache server while booted into Ubuntu. How can I make it so the Apache server is accessible over the Internet no matter which...

 
7:31 PM
@j0h because you haven't installed it yet
ho ho hoo... struggling to contain my laughter
 
@Seth - you were asking about cam performance on the pi - evidently SOME cameras support h264 as an output format directly from hardware... at least the gst v4l2 video source things so:

video/x-h264, width=(int)[ 1, 32768 ], height=(int)[ 1, 32768 ], framerate=(fraction)[ 0/1, 100/1 ]

ref http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-good-plugins/html/gst-plugins-good-plugins-v4l2src.html

might be worth looking in to what camera you get so it doesn't have to do any transcoding in software...
 
Hm, interesting.
I was thinking about this one: adafruit.com/products/1567
 
back in Holland safe and sound
 
@Rinzwind glad to hear you made it home without incident.
 
@Rinzwind Holland? weren't you in Netherlands?
 
7:41 PM
@Seth interesting. i crib everything to usb, but a direct hardware interface might provide better performance.
 
D: 25 flags D:
 
I saw lots of incidents :=) 5 people in total that made it to the bottom of the mountain but needed help from emergency workers
@Braiam those are the same country :=)
 
@Rinzwind ok, then check this
 
@Rinzwind heh "I made it, but my leg isn't happy about it" type of thing I'm guessing...
 
@Braiam we already got a 2nd gold >:)
Ireen Wust 3k speedskating gold
and I saw that 1 2 3 on french television on the mountain ;-)
 
the mountain I was on was 1/2 in switserland and 1/2 in france so my phone went "welcome in france/switserland" every other minute :D

Q: How to open encrypred USB flash drive in wine?

NutukubuntuI have an encrypted Integral USB stick with LOCKV231.EXE I was hoping that I may be able to use it in Kubuntu (12.4) through Wine, but when I right-click LOCKV231.EXE and select: 'Open with wine windows program loader' I get a message saying: "Please insert the device or run this utility as priv...

"You do not" Is that an answer?
 
@Rinzwind if you can explain why not...
 
windows crap? >:)
time for some food. bbl :+)
 
@Braiam wine doesn't support usb passthrough. you might be able to do it with virtualbox might be a better answer
 
@hbdgaf as I said "you do not, because reasons" ;)
 
7:54 PM
oh i wasn't disagreeing.
too much success? yes it's possible macrumors.com/2014/02/09/flappy-bird-removed
 
@hbdgaf he lost 50k/day revenue... he seriously has problems...
 
8:09 PM
I know right? Direct deposit in to ten percent annual yield mutual, go on sabbatical to a hut in the Phillipines for a year or two, come back and sell the rights to the game to someone else. Seems easy enough.
 
@hbdgaf oh common
 
i browsed around their site for a couple minutes and it seems like they have buckets of awesome just sitting on the shelf ;)
 
8:32 PM
> Even after doing the steps from Ubuntu for fixing the going out of suspend problem with Nvidia cards, I still can make it work.
then what's the problem?
 
8:50 PM
my answer doesn't answer the question so I'm gonna make it a CW, makes perfect sense.
 
@Alvar close that question and nuke from orbit that answer
 
@Braiam If I could I would....
 
the question is bad btw...
 
yep
this is slow is never a good sign..
 
> -- this is slow
> -- what CPU, RAM and hard drive you use?
> -- umm... Pentium 3 with 256 of ram and 10 GB of an IDE hard drive, why?
-_-
this need another push askubuntu.com/q/28270/169736
 
8:55 PM
my raspi has better specs than that if you count the usb hd...
@Braiam nudge - AHHHHHHHH
 
meh, someone left me a message... I don't want to read it D:
escapes reality
@thomasw. will feel so good when he delete this askubuntu.com/q/413388/169736
 
@Braiam lubuntu might work, but probably only the alternate "cd" (not usb)
and means you don't install run programs like gimp or LibreOffice

A: How to install up-to-date virus scanner ClamAv in 12.04?

artfulrobotThe answer is that Ubuntu do not consider an up to date antivirus application important, or that they think it's enough to provide up to date virus definitions. They have reasonable justification for this at present: there are very few viruses around that directly affect Ubuntu itself. There a...

 
we need to delete this askubuntu.com/q/76076/169736
 
^ that's a wrong answer
 
9:08 PM
@Seth ooo, infrared that looks fun
 
@ThomasW. dv into oblivion...
 
that "wrong answer" is supported by my comments and the release cycle
@Braiam i already did. everyone else has to too
@Braiam upvotes on my comments would help too
 
@Braiam "check the"?
 
@ThomasW. nah, was posting stuff to delete... :P
 
9:09 PM
ah okay :)
 
wanna join? :)
 
@NathanOsman we need to remove those Q out of our system!
You are using 14.04 right? right? right? right? right? — Braiam 6 secs ago

Q: Should Unity 8 have extensions for customizability

AndrewI belief that Unity needs somewhat of a customizability features. What better time to put it in while they are rewriting the code in C++ for version 8. I think it's more customizable than the applet features of many desktop environment like KDE, XFCE, to just name a few, because you can change/...

 
@NathanOsman blatant theft is about to occur
 
9:23 PM
@Andrew should have been duped to this askubuntu.com/questions/28440/…
 
posts this image everywhere
 
@kalina i'm not posting it everywhere, but i'm sure saving it for an apropos moment...
 
@hbdgaf didn't saw that
 
@kalina Staaaaar whoooore.

@Andrew now you know
 
9:25 PM
thanks hbd...
 
np
 
@kalina Blatant theft has already occurred.
That wasn't mine either :P
 
It's hilarious to me how far the need coffee polar bear went. I made that one originally.
 
I do not approve of this star.
 
j0h
last time I installed denyhost (2010) I recall thinking the project seemed dead.
fail2ban seems equaly inactive
is there somwthing better yet?
should I install one or the other?
 
9:32 PM
i don't think something like fail2ban needs new features. once it's working... it works.
 
j0h
I see fail2ban works with iptables, will work with ufw?
lol
 
no idea. i use iptables.
@foss - do you think the python-opencv team would find something like this useful so they could expose device configuration from python instead of saying "deal with it"? pastebin.com/e8ePQm91
 
I've always found the various python teams to be fairly open to receive new ideas - so its worth a try. Why - have they pushed back on this idea before?
 
not to me, but the concensus i see on all the tutorial pages is "just handle device configuration"
it's for something else, so i'm tinkering on it anyway. i just thought they might find it useful.
 
hmm - throw it on their mailing list. At worst you'll be ignored - its still worth a try.
 
9:48 PM
that's fair. i need to wait until i have it a little more feature-ful before i dump it on a mailing list. setters at least should work, although exposing all of v4l2-ctl via function call or attribute would be ideal
 
9:58 PM
 
debian no likey the upstart? that's going to make the divide larger.
 
seems like ubuntu needs to make a strategic choice - go it alone or make it easier for themselves and just borrow from debian just like it has always done.
 
yes. i know which choice i would make... and it's borrowing instead of trying to go from scratch. the thing to remember is all the neat things that get done in fewer man-hours are because there was no foundation to lay. going it alone would make things take a LOT longer and lots of feature work would be subsumed by maintenance work.
 
I've no idea how much work it would be to "lose" the upstart bits - but yeah - longer term, it would be more productive to "go with the flow"
 
yeah, i wasn't referring specifically to upstart, but just the task of writing/tweaking startup scripts for every new or changed service would be... time consuming. wider view it only gets harder.
 
10:06 PM
@fossfreedom feature wise upstart and systemd are equivalent, the only difference is that systemd supports upstart, sysv and systemd scripts while upstart only supports sysv and upstarts
 
oh... that turns the example upside down, but the argument should remain valid.
 
well debian will borrow from red hat fedora - which means systemd. Thus ubuntu will need to maintain and develop their own stuff. Doesnt make sense to me - at least from a effort point-of-view. There must be a financial reason why to keep upstart going.
 
i think it comes back to boot time optimization, but i could be wrong there
 
10:54 PM
How can I enable jsfiddle with noscript?
Maybe someone had the same issue..
 
@Lucio I think noscripts defeats the purpose of jsfiddle :/
 
Fuck this, I'm switching to Debian.
My tahr just rendered itself bootable, the bug in 13.10 still won't get a backport and I cba to manually fix boot every time.
 
11:11 PM
lol
 
[cough] FreeBSD [cough]
 
Lubuntu ... cough
 
I'm kidding, of course. I've never touched FreeBSD in my life.
 
Ahem, solaris...
 
@FEichinger I think you meant un bootable?
 
11:12 PM
@NathanOsman That is what I meant.
Point being, I'm stuck with another all-nighter because of this nonsense.
 
Lol
I tried to design a good animation but this obscenity came up xD
Will definitively not use that.
 
An up arrow?
 
why not?
 
Its not moving on android
 
what browser?
the default?
 
11:16 PM
Chrome on 4.4 v 32
 
@Mateo Now?
 
@Lucio nope
 
Hmmm
Now it is
 
\o/
I love you CSS :D
 
BTW, thanks for the report
 
O_o see what you mean now...
 
LOL
hahaha, ROTFL
I'd forget about that.
 
haha, take a look at this response:
 
11:23 PM
oh god... poor Gilles
 
I guess, that one is more funny
 
hehe, it is
It is more funny in my case, listening this:
@NathanOsman It goes with the rhythm!
@Braiam a big one
JSFiddle is the heaven for XSS
 
11:31 PM
Now I can't resist, will see all jsfiddle.net/9S9zg/N : 1 < N < 7
 
@NathanOsman Now that just looks like humping.
 
hahaha, time to close the room..
 
11:33 PM
@Braiam it works for my
 
I better stop.
 
@NathanOsman Oh, you got it.
Every question with "please" at the end of it, is destined to fail.
 
@Lucio yuk...
 
Why does people that doesn't understand SSL get certifcs.?
 
@Lucio You might not want to check out 12.
 
11:41 PM
No I don't.
 
this needs more votes askubuntu.com/q/418561/169736
 
well, that is quite a lot :)
 
@Lucio please, kindly, and i have a doubt are all indicators of questions and users that need balefire typically...
31 more profile views until i'm at 4242
 
@Mateo IKR :D
@Braiam 300 rep more... just 300 more..
 
@Seth I messed around with a cheap camera once made a filter out of a floppy disk
 
11:54 PM
oh that's cool
an ir filter?
 
@Seth don't forget that you have to put IR emitting led/diode whatevers all around the cam to drench what you're trying to see. you really shouldn't pay extra for that though... you just remove the ir filter film.
 
@hbdgaf yeah I know.
 
yeah, remove the built in one on a regualar camera - then the floppy filters almost all but IR light out
 
so i'm looking at a bike scooterdepot.us/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/330x/… seems interesting... can't beat it for 2k.
 
@Mateo oh wow. I wonder if a VHS would work too..
@hbdgaf seems interesting alright.
 
11:57 PM
you kiding me:
 
@Seth probally
 
@Braiam CROSSPOSTING!
 
I still have some images around
 
@FEichinger no... I got permission...
 
@Braiam we draw minecraft pictures with coke cases all.the.time.

they needed a scissor lift for that one though... it's HUGE
