I posted this http://askubuntu.com/questions/554319/using-sudo-apt-get-clean-autoremove-kill-my-laptop
and I see a -3 and a -6... was I penalized? did I lose 9 point out of the blue? was it my question? if anything, it might have been foolish and naive, but not offensive
We can't answer your question without knowing a lot of background information you don't provide and it seems as if it wouldn't matter anyway since you already reinstalled.
@CarlosC No we are a Q/A site. That might sound like a silly distinction but we find it necessary when people come here expecting us everything to work exactly like a forum.
@CarlosC Are you on an unusable system right now? i.e. one that is experiencing these issues? If you have already reinstalled there is nothing we can do to help you.
well as I stated earlier "all I wanted was information" type "questions" don't work well on an objective, definitive Q/A site :)
This is all probably hard to understand, but read some of the links I suggested and stick around and you will figure it out. Feel free to ask here if you have any questions, either about Ubuntu or the site itself.
Can't guarantee answers but you will usually get them.
I suppose I look a little... rough around the edges. They tend to back down with me. Then the bystanders tend to come back the next day, pull me aside, and whisper in hushed tones - "That was AWESOME"
@Virusboy you're double striking a lot, do I need to say go home you're drunk? or you just have a new keyboard?
I didn't mean double posting, I mean vfeel and wallywotrld. The keys are adjacent keys, so fatfingering probably.
New topic: I wonder how accurate a visual range-finder one could make with 2 cheap-ish USB cameras and a raspi. Grab an image from both cameras sitting side-by-side simultaneously, find obvious edges with opencv, then build a triangle based on the offset between the cameras and difference in placement of the image... would need some calibration for sure though.
The ISP I work at is setting up an internal IPv6 network in preparation for eventually connecting to the IPv6 internet. As a result, several of the servers in this network now try to connect to security.debian.org via its IPv6 address by default when running apt-get update, and that results in ha...
Ouch. I'm not in the loop on Fedora politics any more. I just saw fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora with an active release date and thought - well I suppose.
Well, Ubuntu has a server edition, a UEC image, and myriad desktop options for initial install. Is it a bigger difference on their side of the fence? I mean, how much code is really changing that isn't package selection and utilities?
@Mateo - you might like this one. Seems interesting.
particularly interesting is that it's a $100 board that doesn't make you rebuild everything for ARM - specifically things that probably won't work right if you get them building.
impasse is probably a bit over the top. I just need to decide which way I plan to implement something without getting over the top and without redundancy. I was trying to fit two very similar things into one function but it wasn't working out very well. I'll probably end up duplicating a few lines.
Complex logic is not worth saving a few lines of redundancy.
Agreed. Sometimes, that's a reason to make a class and override a function or two in one case or the other. Or even separate a piece in to another function. Let me write an example of the latter. I think it's probably where you are.

It's possible? How?
Thanks

But in both of them voice & video icons are disabled.

I'm trying to understand what actual hardware in stylus based x86 tablets is still broken. Ex. "Venue_8_Pro wifi driver is still broken. This tablet uses driver ______ to run the wifi board ______. VivoTab_Note_8 stylus driver is non-existant, for board ____ Model ____."
I guess, if that makes sense.
There are LOTS of forums posts all over the web, but there is no "current" state I can find about the topic itself. And some of the forum threads run 100s of pages and don't even have a current summary.
and as far as I can tell almost none of them actually show what hard ware and drivers are specifically the issues anyway.
So, I really need some help. Recently I was using a dual boot machine on the same hard drive. I had Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.
When I installed Ubuntu on top of my Windows install, I didn't have to install the Grub bootloader. I just created my partitions /, /home and /swap and install...
@Virusboy Was it made later than 8 years before the Ubuntu release? (ie a 14.10 machine should be made in 2008 or later). If so, it is almost guaranteed to run Ubuntu. You may need to make some tweaks for drivers and such, though.
I was pinging google last night and one of them came back as DUP(!). I did some reading and I found this in the man pages:

still going, going to put more custom slots in, since I can reuse that bit of code and just make more settings slots. then I'm trying to do something interesting with the first page
If I can get the link of the first search result, I'm going to pipe that into second department, so you can display the rss feeds that you can find, or something like that
interesting. i'm thinking about getting a minnowboard, so i can not have to use arm packages for some things.
i still have code to get working on the lappie before it gets to that point though. i want it to get working before i get hardware to run it as an all day grinder.
I was more directing it towards the "make espeak better" bit. I don't install naked bits of code from questionable sources because someone criticizes an existing package. Seems like a sales call as a question if that's what it requires.
ImportError: Could not import settings 'twobuntu.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named 'twobuntu.local_settings'
Why is it that people attack what they perceive as weaker players in online games, then get all butt-hurt and go clanwar on players that pwn them. Finally the clan realizes they're just butt-hurt and kicks them out and asks you to join. Then you refuse :)
1) You look weak someone attacks you. 2) You hit them back, harder. Like a lot harder. 3) They get upset because they lost. 4) They call in buddies. 5) Their buddies eventually realize, they hit you first and you were retaliating in a leave me alone fashion. 6) Eventually someone says "Nevermind that guy. We didn't mean it. Come with us. You're good people." 7) You say "Sorry nope. If I wasn't good enough then, and you hit me, then I'm not good enough now. Just get ready... because I promise I can hit back harder ;)"
