How do I use a certain java binary to call ant, and every sub process / script that that ant processes invokes java for also? Normally I would just use "update-alternatives" and set the systemwide java to the one I need, but in this case, there are other processes on the system that use a different java, and I can't interfere with those. Thanks!
foul_owl 2017-03-03 10:47:39
And of course, normally I could also just do /full/path/to/java but it seems like that would work _only_ for ant, and not any sub processes or other steps in the build process

cp file.. what flag to set to see progress ?
genii 2017-03-03 10:48:47

Does anyone know of a good VPN which is easy to install and has a Graphical Interface (NOT THROUGH NETWORK MANAGER)?
plasticfish 2017-03-03 10:49:48
tubal have you tried calibre?
genii 2017-03-03 10:50:40
blueking: cp does not have any way to see how much of a file has been copied, but -v will show filenames as they are being copied when you are recursively copying, or a bunch at once
blueking 2017-03-03 10:51:17
okie

any idea which package provides libcras.so?
nacc 2017-03-03 10:55:58

nacc 2017-03-03 10:56:02
ppf: at least not in latest
nacc 2017-03-03 10:56:10
ppf: `apt-file` is your friend, though :)
ppf 2017-03-03 10:56:53
apt-file doesn't know it
ppf 2017-03-03 10:56:59
hence i'm asking :)

hi folks. So I got a "package linux-image-extra-4.40-65-generic needs to be reinstalled". From what I read here, https://askubuntu.com/questions/889126/package-linux-image-4-4-0-65-generic-needs-to-be-reinstalled
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:08:35
seems that the package was shipped and later taken out of circulation?
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:10:09
and that seems the truth, looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:10:20
how is that even acceptable behaviour?
nacc 2017-03-03 11:11:22
viccuad: it's in proposed
nacc 2017-03-03 11:11:52
viccuad: as to why, if it did reach the release pocket, it did -- contact #ubuntu-kernel
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:12:52
nacc: my problem is that I don't have access to the system, as it is a friends' laptop, so I cannot debug it as I would like
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:13:08
but looking at packages.ubuntu.com baffles me
nacc 2017-03-03 11:13:10
viccuad: ah it seems it was an accidental promotion

specifically the deletion from xenial-updates of 4.4.0-65.86
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:13:37
that seems really wrong
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:14:35
I cannot but wonder about people paying canonical for support on LTS, and getting this
k1l 2017-03-03 11:16:15
iirc there was another lower kernel build that got pushed from the security repo. but i dont know what the issue behind that is
OerHeks 2017-03-03 11:16:22
viccuad, you run proposed, = not stable.
nacc 2017-03-03 11:16:29
no, it was a mistake in release
nacc 2017-03-03 11:16:31
OerHeks: --^
nacc 2017-03-03 11:16:34
in this particular case
OerHeks 2017-03-03 11:17:06
boot in 64, sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq linux-image-4.4.0-65-generic # and you are fine
ppf 2017-03-03 11:17:55
anyone ever got chrome to work on arm?
nacc 2017-03-03 11:18:23
viccuad: from what i can gather, that update will go out eventually, it just happened early
nacc 2017-03-03 11:18:37
viccuad: so there's nothing fundamentally wrong with being on that kernel; do you know what is emitting that message?
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:18:55
nacc: so, eventually, it should be able to get the kernel? or would dpkg be broken?
k1l 2017-03-03 11:18:57
ppf: android did :)
k1l 2017-03-03 11:19:03
ppf: what what is the issue?
nacc 2017-03-03 11:19:10
viccuad: yeah, eventually it should
nacc 2017-03-03 11:20:03
viccuad: do you have the full logs of a command that emits that message?
nacc 2017-03-03 11:20:07
viccuad: meaning the command and the ouptu (in a pastebin)
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:20:48
nacc: no, sadly, I have a 640x480 screenshot done with a mobile phone from my friend, telling me that the dependencies for that package couldn't be met
nacc 2017-03-03 11:21:29
viccuad: do you know if it was from apt or a GUI?
ppf 2017-03-03 11:21:42
k1l: step one, obtain chrome
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:21:52
nacc: GUI, yet I don't know which one, seems to be the automatic updates
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:22:36
to add salt on it, it's in a different language
ppf 2017-03-03 11:22:39
k1l: I copied one out of a chromeos image, trying to resolve the dependencies now. i'm down to libcras, but i've got no solid idea where to get that from
k1l 2017-03-03 11:23:14
ppf: ah ok. that explains the chromeos dependency
viccuad 2017-03-03 11:23:23
seems like gnome-shell, with a pop up and a prohibited symbol on the gnome-shell top bar, some kind of applet
nacc 2017-03-03 11:23:28
viccuad: ok
ppf 2017-03-03 11:23:45
k1l: so you're saying libcras is a chromeos component?
k1l 2017-03-03 11:24:13
ppf: yes. that is one of the workarounds from google to make chrome work on arm
nacc 2017-03-03 11:24:58
viccuad: alterantively, and probably saner, is to just purge that package
nacc 2017-03-03 11:25:06
viccuad: linux-image-generic should no longer dpeend on it, iiuc
k1l 2017-03-03 11:25:07
ppf: looks like you can only use chromium-browser
ppf 2017-03-03 11:28:49
i really want to try chrome
ppf 2017-03-03 11:28:58
chromium doesn't do sky :)

foul_owl: maybe ask in a java channel?
nacc 2017-03-03 11:31:20
foul_owl: but I think you can just set JAVA_HOME?

Specifically this is more of a linux question though
foul_owl 2017-03-03 11:33:32
How do I use binary "foo" for process "bar"
foul_owl 2017-03-03 11:33:38
and all subprocesses called by "bar"
foul_owl 2017-03-03 11:33:55
Maybe more of a shell question
nacc 2017-03-03 11:35:04
foul_owl: then you want a shell channel :)
nacc 2017-03-03 11:35:28
foul_owl: but alias bar=foo
nacc 2017-03-03 11:35:31
foul_owl: `man bash`
nacc 2017-03-03 11:36:03
foul_owl: but the way to specify to ant you want to use a specific java is very ant-specific, you don't want to just change the java command invoked, normally
