VTC this 15.10 question.

@ParanoidPanda That one I can see. And ACDC is decent. I really like some of their stuff. Others not so much.

user136984

11:06 AM

Glad we found something good you could see! ;)

hbdgaf

@ParanoidPanda Decent answer to a decent question. I only VTC for ahead of releases if it looks like it's not going to get an answer or if we're getting bombed with bugs/questions.

user136984

My musical taste is very wide though, so I'm sure that there aren't very many who like all I like, or at least I haven't met them yet! :D

hbdgaf

Well, I like a lot of different music. I can identify songs I like that particular other people might like though.

Does anyone here have 2FA for github and ever got the git in terminal working?

I just enabled 2FA and now the world is collapsing on me

Unihedron

After some research (and by that I mean some internet searches later), I think I need an OAuth token, but still no idea how to configure the terminal to use it

user136984

12:59 PM

I would like to design a new Ubuntu window etc theme, where is a good starting point? I mean is there any documentation on this or anything?

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda: that was a terrible edit why did you approve???

user136984

@Fabby: Oh dear... I didn't intend to approve that edit! I was just going through the review queue, and then I thought I would get myself some Chocolate Cake, so I got a bowl and put it on my keyboard... Apparently that is a bad idea because it pushes every key on the keyboard, closes my browser, changes my firewall rules (my settings were open), and seemingly, approves an edit... :D

user136984

Although I don't remember that edit, so it may not have been then that it got approved, but I don't think that I would knowingly approve it...

user136984

Strange...

user136984

Ooh! But I forgot to eat the Chocolate Cake, I think that it is time for some now!

Fabby

1:12 PM

@Zacharee1 I'm very sorry to tell you, but that was a terrible edit... Please look at how it looks now

(that's the standard you should aspire too!) ;-) :P

Zacharee1

@Fabby it's not like I tried very hard

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda Chocolate cake, cheese and reviewing don't mix well...

user136984

:D

Fabby

Next time, try mixing reviewing and Vitriol... :P

@Zacharee1 Yeah, that's what I want you to do next time: try very hard, or just don't bother and let the all-caps-lock title slip...

>:-)

user136984

Well, at least it was the Chocolate Cake that approved that dreadful edit and not me! :P

Fabby

1:14 PM

@Zacharee1 Otherwise you create more work for poor shlubs like me...

@ParanoidPanda Yeah: my point exactly!

Keep the chocolate cake as far away from reviewing as possible.

Another floor will do, but another building would be best! :D

user136984

:D

user136984

If you've seen what Kung Fu Panda will do to get food, you've already seen me and chocolate cake! :D

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda In another building inside a safe deposit box! :D

user136984

Nothing stands in my way for long when chocolate cake is involved! >:P

user136984

Perhaps we would need a nuclear bunker with blast doors... But even then, I wouldn't be so sure... :D

Fabby

1:28 PM

@ParanoidPanda There is one from the 1950s close to where you live... :P So pay more attention next time!

user136984

I once accidentally lost some chocolate cake, and I turned the whole house up-side-down and managed to break a door in the process, so don't try anything with my chocolate cake! >:P

user136984

There may be a nuclear bunker currently, but if my chocolate cake makes it in there, it will exist no more! >:D

user136984

Anyway, I have to go now and sleep some of that chocolate cake off! :P

what Ubuntu version, an are you 32 or 64 bit

Seth

@Unihedron I did.

I will need to do it again on my new computer.

Unihedron

@Seth Do you use SSH?

Seth

Lemme figure it out again and I can walk you through it.

@Unihedron I don't remember.

Unihedron

oh I already developed a workaround

Seth

I figured you would have ;)

It's not hard though.

I don't have time to dig into it atm, but if you want I can ping you about it later.

Unihedron

4:08 PM

it's to disable 2FA, push to the repositories, then re-enable it

Seth

-.-

Could someone show me a screenshot of a default Unity Tweak Tool fonts section? I accidentally changed a setting there and now my fonts are all weird. (and I'm not sure which)

Unihedron

How do I know if my settings are the defaults?

jokerdino

You hit the restore defaults button.

Mike Edenfield

someone has managed to get a directory onto my file server whos name is just '&' and I can't get rid of it.

from bash I ought to be able to just do rm rf '&' or rm -rf "\&" ?

A.B.

@SameerPradhan And whats about libaio1 in the answer?

Seth

4:23 PM

@jokerdino tried that, made it worse o_O

jokerdino

Woops

Just play with the settings and stop when you are satisfied.

Seth

I can tell when it isn't exactly the same -.-

but I'll try

@Unihedron thanks

the titlebar font is still wrong

I bet you might have better luck on one of oracles supported distros

or work within vagrant github.com/dbehnke/oracle12c-vagrant

6:34 PM

@earthmeLon here is a good place

earthmeLon

6:55 PM

Yeah, just finding this

Can this be accessed over IRC?

Fabby

@MikeEdenfield move all important files to another directory and then delete the entire directory with the weird files. (Is what I would do)

If it happens again: then you should start investigating..

Any people here have experience with GoDaddy, and digitalocean?

NO

blade19899

I have a server from digitalocean, and a domain from GoDaddy, but how do I link the domein name to my digitalocean server?

A.B.

@blade19899 You should have an IP address

blade19899

@A.B. I think I found it. Need to see if by typing the domain name, it goes to my server...

A.B.

7:15 PM

@blade19899 I think that will take some time, but an attempt is worth it.

blade19899

@A.B. Okay! Nap time!

A.B.

@blade19899 The domain servers need to be informed and that takes a while.

blade19899

@A.B. Ah. Okay!

earthmeLon

blade, look into nameservers

You need to have GoDaddy point the nameservers to DigitalOcean, if you setup the DNS at DigitalOcean

While you're in the GoDaddy account, you should go ahead and transfer that domain to Namecheap.com and stop using GoDaddy :P

blade19899

@A.B. it works. Now.

@earthmeLon namecheap? I'll take a look at that!

earthmeLon

Hey guys, I'm trying to help this guy who, as soon as he runs a bash script, he loses stuff like $PATH and other environmental variables. Not really sure what would be causing it: askubuntu.com/questions/684269/…

Seth

@blade19899 eww, yeah, get off godaddy. Ubuntu has a deal with gandi.net for ubuntu members.

blade19899

You guys are telling me this now xD

@Seth This is not for me. I am setting this up a website for a friend.

Seth

@blade19899 I only mentioned gandi because if canonical/ubuntu has a deal with them they're probably good ;)

but get away from godaddy. They are evil.
