mo34Hello. I'm having an issue with Skype. Calls are not connecting - neither when I make them, nor when someone calls me. In the latter case, I don't get a call. Running Kubuntu 15.10, Skype 4.3 from the Ubuntu partners repository. Would anyone know how to troubleshoot this?09:40
chr1shi mo34. I think I read something about Microsoft breaking compatability with Windows clients recently... let me see if i can find the article09:42
chr1sin the mean time, have you tried using the call test to see if everything is set up correctly?09:43
mo34chr1s: yup, even the call to echo test doesn't go through09:43
mo34chr1s: but, the webcam and speaker tests in the options seem to be fine09:44
chr1smo34: this is it http://mspoweruser.com/skype-for-linux-is-broken-and-users-arent-happy/09:45
chr1sI don't use skype so I'm only basing on what I read09:45
chr1sit seems since February Skype on Linux doesn't work anymore09:46
mo34chr1s: Thanks, but ouch :(09:47
chr1syep, sorry for the bad news09:47
chr1shopefully it will get resolved if enough people complain09:47
mo34chr1s: I have a Skype interview tomorrow, and I don't know if I'm in a position to ask them to use another service :/09:48
mo34chr1s: I tried running it on wine, it's a no go, somehow... Maybe I should try to get hold of an old version and try it on wine, or I'll try cheating the web version?09:48
chr1sdouble ouch but I would think that any reasonable comany would be understanding and arrange some other way to do the interview09:49
chr1si have no idea how well it may have worked on wine in the past09:49
chr1shope you can find a solution09:50
chr1salso from the article it seems like it should work if the client on the other end is an old version? In the worst case maybe they could downgrade for the call09:55
chr1sthis kind of thing is why i try to avoid proprietary solutions as much as possible09:56
mo34chr1s: I completely agree09:59
mo34chr1s: Thanks for your help mate10:01
chr1smo34: no worries, good luck for your interview10:01
mo34chr1s: I'll see what I can do... Worst case, borrow a friend's laptop or tab10:01
mo34chr1s: peace.10:01
DaskreechFairly certain if all the Linux users complained for a year Microsoft would just get fat off drinking their tears. For The Majority of Linux users which is a minority of the market this is probably going to go fully unnoticed10:27
chr1sDaskreech: unfortunately I would tend to agree with you in the short term however taking the longer view as more and more people run into issues on various platforms (OS X, Android, etc.) perhaps it will stop enough people using it that it starts to impact Microsoft enough to have to care10:40
chr1sbut i wouldn't hold me breath either...10:40

andybrinedoes anyone know how to migrate emails from one imap account to another?13:17
SabreWolfyDrag and drop13:21
andybrineliterally as simple as that?13:22
SabreWolfyIf you setup with IMAP accounts in the same client, it's that easy. I've done it with Thunderbird. I don't know how much bandwidth it uses.13:23
andybrineim using thunderbird now13:24
andybrinejust dragging and dropping them13:24
andybrinewill see how it goes13:24
andybrineThanks13:24
SabreWolfyI suggest trying with a few messages and checking that it is working.13:29
SabreWolfyAnd then doing them in batches / folders, rather than trying to 1000's at a time.13:30
andybrinelol, too late. :)13:31
andybrineI copied my inbox and have done folder at a time13:31
andybrinethanks for that, it worked prefectly13:31
andybrinebut instead of copying the emails, its completely moved them13:32
SabreWolfyOh, I think it will do that with a drag and drop. MIgrate sort of implies that :)13:33
SabreWolfyI don't know if there is a way to do it as a copy.13:33
SabreWolfyGlad it worked.13:34
andybrinethats ok. Not like you are going to use the old email host like you said, thats why yu are moving it over :)13:34
andybrineI asked my hosting providers and they were clueless13:35
andybrineglad I could do it and it was sooo simple! :)13:35

pcouaillierHi! Do someone know a good media player to read folder content through samba? (I'm actually using vlc but it's not really efficient)19:50
BluesKajwhy do you need a media player to read folder content, just readit directly, pcouaillier19:55
=== Steffstoff is now known as Guest4646
=== Steffstoff_ is now known as Steffstoff
pcouaillierYea... but I dislike to open 20 folder instead of 1...19:58
pcouaillierOn windows and mac i Take me 1 sec to do it.. on linux... Easier to start a windows VM and lunch vlc...20:00
BluesKajhow does the media player make that distinction, pcouaillier?20:00
=== Pici is now known as Guest19584
pcouaillierI don't know... All I know is the fact that folder raise an exception on linux and on other OS it works20:04

markitpcouaillier: you could try to run vlc from console ($ vlc) and see if it outputs something more meaningful20:42
markit(when it behaves badly)20:42

ProfIncis there anyone who can help me install an app on my amazon fire stick?  I keep getting error messages saying error: more than one device and emulator23:22

ProfIncis anyone here that can help?23:24
=== qoo is now known as Asuran
keithzgProfInc: Likely just the classic case of there being an emulator configured so adb doesn't know what to do when there's both that and a physical device.23:37
keithzgThe lazy way is just to use the -d switch with ADB, which tells it to only consider actual devices.23:37

r_riosHello. For some reason, applications like Chrome and Qt Creator (which are drawn with OpenGL, I assume) are slooooow. I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and everything else seems fine aside from that. Any idea on what might be wrong?23:57
