hmm I haven't been very productive ... downloaded the wrong module and have been wondering for more than an hour why some commands work but others don't

Serg

@Chan-HoSuh happens. "Why is this not working ? Ohhh, eureka ! because i did X "

Chan-Ho Suh

hmm, guess I haven't made that kind of noob mistake in a while...

must be getting old

Serg

<.< . . . . 65 is old . . . .if you're nowhere close to that age, you're still fine

Chan-Ho Suh

hmm how old are you again? ;-)

my back used to be much better...

Serg

I am 100/4

Chan-Ho Suh

11:11 PM

well, the mental degradation hasn't set in for you most likely ... but definitely I can tell I can't do things as quickly as I used to

Serg

My back used to be much better too, before i messed it up while doing deadlift

Chan-Ho Suh

hehe ... ok

Serg

As you can see, i am not the athletic type

Chan-Ho Suh

not sure I really see that, but I'll take your word for it

stuff like bash and awk is not mutually exclusive with athletics :D

I mean, look at Brian Fox

Serg

It's not , but in my case, i guess i have a limited amount of energy, and i spend it mostly on AWK and bash :D

I need to somehow associate URI and the components . . .

@terdon or are they...

terdon

@Mateo Aren't they? I haven't been paying very close attention since I don't actually use Ubuntu.

Mateo

terdon

@Mateo Are you showing me an amazon app for the Ubuntu phone?

Mateo

no default way to un-install the scope either

Q: Impossible to uninstall certain apps in ubuntu phone?

I recently bought a bq smartphone ubuntu edition, and I was surprised to see so many pre installed apps that I don't want to use. Some of them are apparently easy to remove, by going to the ubuntu store. But there is something that I don't manage to do. I'm in the Apps scope, and slide the scree...

terdon

But do you have to install it or is it there by default?

Also, is it the main search tool for your phone?

Mateo

11:33 PM

@terdon amazon scope, and web-app preinstalled by default

terdon

And is it the main search thing, like in Unity?

Mateo

just messing with you, there will still be people that will call it spyware

terdon

Hey, if it comes preinstalled and belongs to a huge company, I have issues with it. Then again, I am using android so...

Mateo

did you see that win 10 now has ads in the start menu ;0

terdon

Yeah, or something. Not sure if it's adds ot just random links or whatever. I've seen it on other people's computers and the one time I installed it for someone.

Wonderful weekend.

Ubuntu Questions on U&L

11:49 PM

Q: How can i Fix my media players?

I always face a problem with media application that depend on qt and MPlayer it happen when I run my device for a long time I see error. This is photo in Linux mint 17.2 and Last question the same error on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

ubuntu linux-mint qt mplayer

Mateo

cross post...

can't even get him to say what os is currently running...

terdon

@Mateo No it's not. The AU one was closed. The OP was right to repost, he was told it was off topic here and it should go to U&L.

It's a crap question, but not a cross post.

Mateo

could be if he is really on ubuntu

terdon

He said it's Mint on the U&L post.

In any case, posting the same Q elsewhere after it's been closed is fine.

Mateo

and ubuntu on the bottom

I just want to know what he is really running, what he did,

right now it just "mplayer allways broke, on everything I try"

terdon

11:53 PM

Yeah.

Please edit your question and give us some more details. What other programs are affected? What happens if you launch smplayer from a terminal? What error messages do you get? When did this start happening? Does it affect different distributions? Why are you tagging with Ubuntu and Mint? Does it only affect your user or does it happen to all users? — terdon ♦ 20 secs ago
