You guys are releasing today?
 
the release team plans to
but they havent releaseed yet
and for all intents and purposes they could delay it
so as i said before
 
jrg
> Welcome to the party channel! Ubuntu 12.10 will release sometime before the clock strikes 23:59:59 on Baker
 
THE BANNER ON THE SITE IS WRONG AND MUST BE BURNED WITH FIRE
 
I doubt they will delay it.. at least not to long...
 
Congrats then. I think I will stick with 12.04 for the next couple years, LTS FTW :)
 
2:03 PM
@LordofTime glad to see you again, LOT
 
unless they have to respin the ISOs
 
@LordofTime your complaints have fallen on deaf ears...
 
@Mahesh what're you on, i've been here on-and-off a bit
@Joshua no, they've fallen on @jrg
he's not the only moderator
 
@LordofTime which has deaf ears...
 
jrg
I'm not the one who put it up.
 
2:04 PM
@LordofTime oh. okay.
 
@Mahesh University is evilish
yawn
 
lol the banner is gone
 
because I AM CORRECT!
the banner was wrong. :P
2 hours ago, by jrg
Ubuntu 12.10 will be released today - just not yet. Party over here
 
@LordofTime or you annoyed @jrg to the point of no return...
 
^ that kind of proves my statement
@Joshua happens with the lack of sleep and the evil of no sleep and no coffee
COFFEE SECURES THE STABILITY OF TIME AND SPACE!
 
jrg
2:06 PM
Or that @LordofTime brought my attention to a typo elsewhere.
 
@LordofTime actually the coffee doesn't, it is the caffiene in the coffee...
 
jrg
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being a minor itch, and a 10 being "If this doesn't happen the world will end", how important it this? It's like a 1.1
 
@jrg lol you fixed the typo but didn't fix the original complaint?
 
@Joshua no, its actually the coffee, in this instance. the mountain dew doesn't help :P
YOU NOOB
YOU FAIL
i reiterate:
5 mins ago, by Lord of Time
THE BANNER ON THE SITE IS WRONG AND MUST BE BURNED WITH FIRE
 
jrg
Your concern has been duly noted, and it has been tagged status-wontfix
 
2:08 PM
is one persistently evil person
 
smacks @LordofTime How dare you talk about Mt. Dew like that?
 
tags @jrg as status-obsolete, with Bug Status "Expired"
 
e
@jrg I'll have to let you do the 12.10 release announcement - I won't be home this morning, gotta get clothes for a wedding
 
@Joshua Smacking of LordOfTime caused chaos control, causing the release of 12.10 to be delayed by 19 minutes
 
@AmithKK that is okay, I am not installing it...
 
2:10 PM
@AmithKK Mentioning that I had been smacked unleashes Chaos Mode, which in turn activates chaos control, causing the release of 12.10 to be delayed by twenty hours.
 
@Joshua hi
 
hi
 
so
the purging begins:

Q: Why my `edit` facilities blocked?

lambda23I can't edit some of posts. The edit is blocked. What cause i can't edit the posts?

 
@Takkat @RolandTaylor Justice \o/
 
jrg
@LordofTime: Are you disconnecting me from kor just because I won't change a banner?
 
2:18 PM
it hasn't been released. why the wrong banner?
 
@AskUbuntuMeta Dupe
 
@jokerdino because @jrg refuses to fix it...
 
@jokerdino :D
 
what is so cool with wrong banner @jrg?
 
@jokerdino because @jrg is being lazy and "doesn't want to change it again in 2 hours"
 
2:20 PM
:/
 
Ahah a downvote was reverted because a user was removed!
 
I don't want to change my diaper every two hours...
 
I knew someone was downvoting me out of malice!
 
@RolandTaylor the two users were deleted.
 
Muhahaha
take that!
I like when people who set out to do garbage are caught out

Q: How do I check my website with w3c validator?

blade19899I know of validator.w3.org but are there other website on-line or an application that can validate my html/css/xml? Are there tools that can validate my code online and offline? I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

2:47 PM
thx
 
I'm on an Apple mobile device today, which I am not very used to. How can I install local JavaScript stack apps, like the pro forma userscript? When I click on the script in Safari for iOS, I just see the script. Something tells me this is a very basic question but an initial Google search has not helped me...
 
@EliahKagan one sec
 
@AS Closed.
@jokerdino Thx.
 
wait, IOS?
i dont think you can install scrips on them. but try this meant for safari stackapps.com/tags/script/info
scroll down for safari
 
@EliahKagan no userscripts there
 
2:50 PM
Power UP !
 
jrg
@EliahKagan you can't.
i tried
if you use a iPad, you can sorta do it
(supposedly)
 
@jrg The device I am using is an iPad.
 
@jrg Thx.
 
Hi, does anyone understand how to use html2text.py from reading the readme here: github.com/aaronsw/html2text ? I am unable to figure it out (I know there's the app html2text is available via ubuntu software center. But I don't want to install any app if possible.)
 
3:03 PM
Steam is a gaming company. am i wrong?
 
@A.S. it's a gaming distributor
 
@A.S. rather a gaming distribution company
 
Oh. thanks you @jokerdino @its_me
 
@its_me copy the file and run it?
 
This should not be closed, i think askubuntu.com/review/close/39210
 
3:05 PM
@jokerdino Doesn't work
 
where exactly is it failing?
 
Why no 12.10 yet?
 
@njallam i am working on a SRU atm
 
@jokerdino meaning?
 
nothing
 
3:06 PM
@jokerdino Nothing happens let me show you
 
I think, this is not Off-topic. Since running windows games through wine is considered on topic. — A.S. 17 secs ago
 
@jokerdino see: i.imgur.com/XYCqt.png
 
@its_me dont you need argument?
 
@jokerdino Ah yes :P
 
silly you :P
 
3:10 PM
Do you know what [(filename|url) [encoding]] stands for? I am stuck here now
:D
 
some weird thing that i don't understand :D
 
@jokerdino Ah... I figured it out! One last thing. Is there a way to have the output into a file? I forgot the command
 
@its_me I think it means, you need to give a filename or an url and the encoding
 
@its_me pipe it into a file
big command >> file.txt
 
@A.S. Okay... just tried that without the encoding argument and it works! Thanks man!
@jokerdino Will try that right away and see
 
3:13 PM
okay gl
 
@its_me encoding was an optional argument then. glad to know
 
@jokerdino You are so awesome, it worked! :D
right
 
nope. :P
 
found some very useful tools today
;)
 
what tools are those?
 
3:16 PM
1. https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text
2. https://github.com/coreyti/showdown
These I can use without installing or anything as such.
 
Will unity run at a good speed on 12.10 and Pentium4 and Nvidia Zotac 6200
 
@AmithKK nope
 
@A.S. And the last one is this: aahank.com/2012/10/url-fof-original-image-up-to-50.html (lthough not a tool)
 
unity will crawl under my bedsheet
2
 
I found a useful tool today too... it is called a shot gun...
it is useful for shooting...

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAA
 
@MarcoCeppi yay!!
 
I decided to upgrade all my machines last night
to beat the rush
 
3:25 PM
not a bad idea
 
seeding the torrent as much as possible
 
hm the website not updated yet?
 
Or, was it?
 
could be my browser cache
 
I dont see it on the website either
 
3:28 PM
the ask ubuntu banner is misleading @marco
 
@its_me thanks. sorry for the late reply. my connection was disturbing
 
no problem :)
 
@jokerdino how so?
 
because it is not released yet :)
 
it's close enough
 
3:30 PM
i don't disagree. i'll just wait the last lap then :)
 
last lap?
 
isn't that what I said?
 
what was meant by "last lap"?
 
like running a 4x400 metres and the last lap..
 
hmm..
 
3:32 PM
i blame the cultural capital
 
I'll run for the last position
Dinner time, BBL
good night @jokerdino
 
good night!
 
Power down again
 
zz bye
 
3:48 PM
(Stupid Question) Has 12.10 actually been released yet?
 
nope
 
OK, just checking
There seem to be articles left, right, front and centre
 
it pays out to be a ubuntu member. cool secret stuff :D markshuttleworth.com/archives/1200
@marco, @jrg --^
> While we won’t talk about them until we think they are ready to celebrate, we’re happy to engage with contributing community members that have established credibility (membership, or close to it) in Ubuntu, who want to be part of the action.
 
jrg
@jokerdino what the heck am i reading there.
 
sekret stuff :D
 
3:53 PM
@jokerdino I WILL NEVER TELL
 
WE ARE THE LEGION!
 
(membership, or close to it) What is considered "close to it"?
 
almost member
 
back
 
not me then
 
jrg
3:55 PM
almost member - as in, like @RolandTaylor, who has enough cred to do it, just never can make it to meetings.
 
So I would still need crazy rep
 
yep
 
in #ubuntu-release-party People are talking about M$ BOB.
 
:/
 
jrg
@njallam so you're hanging out in there too.
 
3:57 PM
@jokerdino you have trouble sleeping?
 
@jrg Yea, just lurking.
 
i have trouble talking sekrets in sleep
> but we will need to trust you not to talk in your sleep
 
@AmithKK unimpressed stare
 
this guy Mark is getting me too excited for RR already :P
 
activates mic in jokerdino's room
 
3:58 PM
nothing fancy pansy here :P
 
You think
 
other than the weird error from Mahesh's tests
 
jrg
you keep muttering that one too, huh?
poor mhall
@jokerdino: you ping him?
 
hm, need to ping him tomorrow morning
or ping him for me too :D
i like the idea of developing inside locked doors.
 
jrg
he needs name, LP ID, area of focus (web, art, privacy, desktop UI, etc), and then what skills sets you have for those areas.
 
4:00 PM
o.O
O.o
i'll get to him in the morning. BYE!
 
jrg
ok, night
And the clock struck 12.
 
I had a teacher just ask me "what are you thinking?" I said: "I don't start thinking till Friday, and when I do start thinking it is about the weekend".
The banner is wrong again...
 
Everyone, chill out about the damn banner
6
it's not that important.
 
it should say it has been released, not that is is being released...
@MarcoCeppi o.O
 
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
 
4:13 PM
0.o
 
@Joshua it's not "released" yet
it's also the fourth time the banner has been changed because it's not right
 
I thought it has been released?
 
2 hours ago, by Lord of Time
THE BANNER ON THE SITE IS WRONG AND MUST BE BURNED WITH FIRE
The torrents are out, and it's in the releases properly
but it hasn't been officially announced
 
@MarcoCeppi I take no repsonsibilty for @LordofTime's comments
 
I'm just saying, the banner is really not that important, it's phrased in a way that it'll be correct whether it's been announced or not. The goal of the banner is to help curb the noob questions and bug reports
 
4:18 PM
Why can't they just get it right?
Then it would be an irrelevant issue...
 
Oh wow
Does anyone know a site where i can post the exchange between me and a malaysian scammer? I'm having fun with this guy and it would be a shame for it to go to waste :P
 
um...
I don't know but I would like to see the resulting conversation...
 
hes trying to convince me that i can grab a dead guy's 21 million dollar estate
who conveniently happens to have the same last name as my fake persona does!
 
@SirCharlo lol
@SirCharlo sounds pretty epic...
 
4:33 PM
ill see where it leads
:P
 
I suppose all you need is to provide your bank account # for the deposit, and your S.S. # for verification purposes?
 
Not yet!
He would like me to call him for "oral clarification"
 
plant a honey pot trap and get him behindbars
 
"The amount can easily elicit eyebrow from anybody and that is why it must be handled between us and keep it confidential."
 
:P
 
4:35 PM
For now this is all he's asking: "Your full name..............
Your Age...............
Your marital status...........
Your occupation............
Your residence address............
Your private Tel/fax number with your country international dialing code .........................."
Oh wait, maybe it's legit
"My Dear, I knew a letter of this magnitude will make anyone worried but believe me sincerely, this is real and not a joke."
 
Of course it is real, why would you even 2nd question it?
 
Never did.
 
not easy to draw a lemur :D
anyone here on "pure" xubuntu (not ubuntu, then install xubuntu-desktop)?
 
@htorque nope.... I am probably the only regular visitor here that visits here using a Windows machine...
 
BOOOO!
well, you can be saved
:D
 
4:45 PM
@htorque Crap dude you made me piss myself...
No, I really can't be saved... I have to for work...
 
4:59 PM
I'm giving the BitTorrent file a try this time around.
 
I just did update-manager -d
 
Are all of these faqs also apply for our site?
I'm curious about the homework questions, specifically.
 
Do*

Good Night
 
night. :)
 
jrg
5:22 PM
It's out!!
2
 
It says, "Avoid the pain of Windows 8"
6
 
What kind of download speeds is everyone getting?
I'm using the BitTorrent download and I'm only getting around 80-100 KB/s.
 
It would be nice, if anyone with high speed could send me the iso file directly to my pc :)
 
5:41 PM
whoa!
it really does say that.
 
yes.
 
that . is. insane.
 
I agree
i don't like the mentioning of "Windows" on the home page of Ubuntu
 
@A.S. me too. :|
 
Avoid the pain of Windows 8.
 
5:44 PM
but still, that was really epic.
 
and unusual
@Mahesh do you have a twitter account?
 
Where would I find the official torrents for Ubuntu 12.10?
 
I prolly have one
@Phani_Mahesh
 
nvr mind. I found it
 
I guess neither.
I restrict myself to 20 min of Social networking a day.
 
5:48 PM
I didn't do socializing the last week
@Mahesh Good thing
So, 12.10 is the painkiller for Windows 8 pain?
 
what phani_mahese are you? there are 100's if not thousands...
never mind
 
lol :P
search J Phani Mahesh. you'll prolly get just me.
 
I found it.. I am a bit slow...
 
I wonder, can i flag my own chat message?
 
try it. :P
 
5:52 PM
Yes you can.
 
lol.. no
 
Then the mods get pissed
 
@Joshua are you sure? if not the custom flag?
 
You use to be able too...
 
@A.S. yes, yes you can
 
5:53 PM
somebody flagged the post!!
 
@A.S. And you shouldn't for test purposes, as it notifies every moderator in chat
 
you can flag your own messages that way if you accidentally put in proprietary info we can delete it for you
 
Pissed mod here, someone called?
 
I didn't flag
