Q: Does Audit ban exists *only* on AU?

I turned on the machine one day and some websites would load others not. SSH wouldn't work, gmail wouldn't work. So I opened the my ftp client and tried to upload something and it stopped at 0.1 complete. Pulled out some hair. Solved the issue by plugging a network cable into the thing. That ...

@NathanOsman Looks cool, but I have a pretty hard time understanding your little George... As a German native, I would wish subtitles, or a voice with less American accent and pitching effects...

@JourneymanGeek No, I've already visited that page and it's none of those connectors. But I've taken a photo. Would you mind looking in that room? chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/22622/bytebots-garage

@Ravan why the `ls` command?
why not `sudo tar xf jre-8u60-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/java`
why only extract one archive?

j0h

Consider this bit of code:
#include <SDL/SDL.h>
SDL_Surface *background = NULL;
....

How would I describe what is going on here? Is a function being called with a pointer?

Fabby

@j0h Homework?

j0h

or a varaible in the function SDL_Surface is being assigned NULL?

Fabby

@j0h Ah, no...

j0h

nah, I wish i could take an SDL class

Fabby

10:50 AM

A variable SDL_Surface is initialised to be a pointer to background but with a value of NULL;

j0h

But its not HW, and I legitimately dont know what its called, or how to reffer to this type of structure intelligently

Fabby

i int = 0;

--^same

j0h

So is the data type "pointer"?

oooh i see...

so is the pointer = NULL the memory address or the contents of that address?

Fabby

:-)

How long have you been programming?

Do you know what pointers are?

I had a 10 year break

CheckInstall

CheckInstall is a computer program for Unix-like operating systems which eases the installation and uninstallation of software compiled from source by making use of package management systems. After software compilation it can automatically generate a Slackware-, RPM-, or Debian-compatible package that can later be cleanly uninstalled through the appropriate package manager. CheckInstall monitors the installation phase of a normal software build process and notes the files that are added to the system. It then builds a package that contains these files, using additional information gathered from...

A: How to restore ssh_config file in /etc/ssh

The file /etc/ssh_config is a configuration file, which has special handling in dpkg, so it is preserved across package upgrades. If the file is deleted, this, too, is preserved, so merely reinstalling the package will not fix the problem. Your choices are, to either completely remove the pack...

@ParanoidPanda to be honest - no idea - I only know it is a good extension because I installed it on my wife's notebook in LO5, 'cause she is writing novels and is very satisfied with the capabilities of the tool.

Hmm, well I might have a look at it, but I would prefer to just get the built-in capabilities working, because it is suggesting words to me as I type, so it must know something.

balls . . . I found a nice question which asks for changing cursor based on current language, and only now noticed that OP wants the text cursor inside text fields of a program, so not the mouse cursor

And I got it working pretty good with the mouse pointer :(

I don't think this is a dupe? He is asking how to open an application, by clicking on it folder? Right? — blade19899 16 secs ago

Q: NFS Share broken?

I have a machine used as a shared space for me and a co-worker. Up until recently it was working fine, and he was able to access this machine from his computer. Now, when I try to mount the shared space on his machine, connection is refused by client, and I don't know why. His machine is includ...

@blade19899 It's completely unclear, but I think he is talking about the "program files" folder.

blade19899

I remember, way before I knew anything of Mac OS X, on Windows, I saw that I can change the folder icon to anything I wanted, I selected the Firefox icon, and applied it to the "Mozilla Firefox" folder in "Program Files". I was trying to make it open Firefox, when I clicked on its folder, which know had the firefox icon. Never got it to work.

Why is there an LTS release and a non-LTS release? Why not just have one release?

user139252

@ParanoidPanda Why not just get rid of developer editions of everything?

Nathan Osman

@ParanoidPanda glad you enjoyed it.

user136984

@HeatherBrown: I guess it is good for testing purposes and some users want to be a more on the edge, and others like a long time with a stable release.

user136984

But there comes a time doesn't there when there is only an LTS release?

Terrance

4:26 PM

@ParanoidPanda Yes, it is the non-LTS releases that lead to the LTS.

The Surface Pro 4 was announced an hour ago.

A: how to login a tty at startup

A simpler solution to running a program, IMHO would be to combine the --autologin flag of getty and a function that runs your desired commands from .bashrc . Part 1: autologin to getty As you may or may not know, TTYs are opened with a getty program as a startup service in /etc/init/ directory...

How soon after the release of 15.10 will they announce the name of 16.04?

user136984

And start talking about it?

Terrance

4:44 PM

@Serg fix the script, after the print "true$, needs to have after the $ "}}')

Serg

@Terrance thanks for pointing out, damn line wrap :/

Terrance

Or, you can take your line from below, isTTY=$(tty | awk '{if ($0=="/dev/tty1") {print "true"}else{print "false"}}')

@Serg I figured that is what happened.

Serg

K, done

Terrance

+1 Works good! =)

Serg

no, the bottom line was meant as addition

I was matching /dev/tty with regex there

fixed again

Terrance

4:48 PM

@Serg Ah, yes, I see that now. =)

Q: How to upgrade current LiveUSB image when booting from it

I was thinking about this after asking this question Can I make a LiveUSB from a LiveUSB?, and when @ByteCommander finally suggested it as a more interesting question I decided to ask. Is it possible to, say, boot from a LiveUSB running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04, and then upgrade that image and overwri...

upgrade live-usb iso

user136984

@Terrance? :)

Terrance

5:07 PM

@ParanoidPanda I have actually never tried that before. I guess I could set up a virtual machine with a liveUSB and try it that way and see what happens.

user136984

5:27 PM

@Terrance: How would you even get it to upgrade itself? Through the normal upgrading mechanism?

Mateo

@ParanoidPanda don't live disks load to ram? I would just try just try dd-ing it and find out if that is the case

Terrance

@ParanoidPanda Probably. I need to set one up first to see if that is even a possibility.

Nathan Osman

@ByteCommander closed-captions are up now.
