Ask Ubuntu General Room

Nothing really exciting there, the option will call zenity dialog with drop down list of non-root partitions for unmounting. If there's nothing else besides root mounted, that option doesn't show up

Oh...your a bottom unity launcher guy too?

Serg

yeah. it's kind of faster to slide touchpad up or down

although i am not a big fan it

launcher on the left looks cooler

Android Dev

@Terrance - Looks like the OP liked my answer. Have you been able to test yet? If not, no rush :)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

launcher on the left is best for 16:9 pixel maps

Serg

facebook is ff4cking idiots

i'm trying to recover my password , they give me popup saying "You must log in, enter password"

WinEunuuchs2Unix

facebook is for girls to show off faces and guys to vote on how hot they are.

well in the beginning... then at half life it was for parents to check on kids and pretend to be "hip"

at EOL facebook will die due to boredom with virtual reality and inundated by advertising and censorship which become necessary evils in big brother society.

TheXed

2:51 AM

@Serg when you moving in?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg what do you think about my weekend project: askubuntu.com/questions/841810/…

TheXed

@Serg you can share the basement with my sister-in-law

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@TheXed I just pinged your mother-in-law and told her to move in with her two daughters.

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix then where am I going to live?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@TheXed You'll live there too, but it will be renamed "Hell"

You'll have three women to say "don't forget to take out the garbage" in harmony.

TheXed

2:57 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix thanks now I am going to have nightmares tonight

WinEunuuchs2Unix

what's that a female horse vampire?

night mare = female horse that only comes out at night.

if it could fly it would be called pegasus

That new Philippines president is interesting.

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg I'm just pinging you because everybody else is.

Serg

3:12 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix seems interesting

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe quid pro quo

Thanks Serg!

Serg

@TheXed ain't got money to move

@KazWolfe thanks, i missed you too, buddy

TheXed

It is cheap to move, just pack up that car put some gas in, and start driving

WinEunuuchs2Unix

what if he doesn't have a car?

Kaz Wolfe

he has a car

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:17 AM

yeah but it doesn't use gasoline it runs on python

Kaz Wolfe

so when is canonical gonna make a HoloLens?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I know you want me to say "What's a HoloLens?" but I'm not going to do it.... I'll be stubborn and google it

Kaz Wolfe

no i wasn't waiting for that.

Serg

O.o python car ? that might actually be a thingy. There was a guy on the news who made self driving car with Ubuntu

Kaz Wolfe

or when magicleap stops teasing us

@Serg that sounds like what my car will be eventually

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:21 AM

What did he call the car? "Arch"?

Anyways google will have the self-driving car market wrapped up. Ubuntu couldn't challenge them on smartphone market, google won with Android. Google will win with self-driving cars with TV's inside playing adds, Car skins that displays adds to passer-bys and will probably drive occupants against their will past bill-boards out of the way.

Kaz Wolfe

and then we get the hackers

"oh, are you routing me to an ad? nah. you're gonna do what I say."

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I have Ad Block plus installed in Chrome... I guess they'll install Bill-Board Block in their google car.

TheXed

@Serg that guys name was

eric schmidt

Kaz Wolfe

nah, just Ubuntu Car.

then Amazon can track us

WinEunuuchs2Unix

It's all fantasy. They can't program a fish to swim or a tree to grow.... They couldn't even program an ant to leave a trail of phermones and find it's way home. Hell they can't even program a train and it doesn't even need to turn.

Do you honestly believe they can program a car to think as smart as a human to drive a car?

When google makes too much money they spend it on self-driving cars. When Tesla motors has too much money Mr. Musk Mars Missions pop up.

Nathan Osman

3:33 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yes, the SkyTrain proves that quite nicely.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Oh tthat Coquitlam thing... never rode it but drove under it.

Nathan Osman

Well, I was referring to the frequent problems that would shut down part of the line.

Switches malfunctioning, trains losing signal, etc.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Doesn't the line run from Coquitlam to greater Vancouver?

Nathan Osman

The Expo line goes from Surrey to downtown and the Millennium Line goes through Coquitlam and Burnaby.

They added the Canada line in 2009 connecting the airport, downtown and Richmond.

But the trains are different than the rest of the line.

Kaz Wolfe

we can teach trees to grow

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:37 AM

Kaz can start by talking to plants :D

Nathan Osman

Kaz Wolfe

no, just cut the tree where it grows wrong.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Bonzai

Nathan Osman

That's not teaching.

This has absolutely nothing to do with what we're talking about, but this looks cool:

I want one of those for the living room.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Hudson's bay had a much smaller fake birch tree with far fewer lights for 300 bucks I almost choked.

It's curious Jill Stienman never said to vote for her because she's a woman.

It's amazing the American media never realized the fact she's a woman and voting for her would be ending woman's suffarage.

poof

Nathan Osman

3:54 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I believe it's Jill Stein, but excellent point.

Kaz Wolfe

what are we blaming now?

Nathan Osman

EVERYTHING.

Kaz Wolfe

good, because i'm going to blame MagicLeap.

I want my AR headset to do things ;-;

Seth

@NathanOsman look what I got today -^

Nathan Osman

Nice!

Noticing that the gear has a bigger impact? (Bursters, etc.?)

Seth

4:04 AM

@NathanOsman definitely.

Especially bursters.

Nathan Osman

Wait until level 8 then >:)

Those things are massive.

Seth

I imagine! (you level 8?)

Nathan Osman

Nope, I'm level 10.

Seth

Nice! I didn't realize you played so much :)

Nathan Osman

I don't much now, though I open it once in a while.

I used it a lot when I was working downtown.

Seth

4:06 AM

I've only just started paying any attention to it at all.

Nathan Osman

If I timed things right, I could collect a ton of stuff on the train ride down and back.

Seth

@NathanOsman Ah, yeah.

There's an insane amount of community down here. Planning 2AM raids and everything..

Nathan Osman

I've almost got the onyx recharger badge. (25m XM)

Seth

Wow, that's sweet!

Nathan Osman

Have you ever been to a park or somewhere that had a whole bunch of portals in a small area that you could farm and link?

Seth

4:12 AM

yup, my college counts. That's how I got to a level 5 so quickly.

I went up 2 levels (from 3 to 5) in 6 weeks.

Nathan Osman

Nice.

Kaz Wolfe

5:06 AM

SETH NOOO

;;;-;;;

filthy resistance corrupting our world.

(though why do i even care anymore, i've stopped playing after a couple ... incidents with the local community)

Anwar

5:57 AM

morning

is it on-topic? askubuntu.com/questions/841874/notepad-in-ubuntu because the answer requires the knowledge of windows software only imo

why don't we a have low qualify flag for old answers?

Kaz Wolfe

I say okay.

Zanna

we are supposed to not use that flag... I guess if the post were that bad, it should have been caught in review?

Anwar

we can use LQ flag for new answers. So, why not old answers?

Zanna

@Anwar yeah... now I'm understanding that meta post about whether running software in wine is on-topic... seems sort of off topic to me too

@Anwar like I said, my guess is that it should have been caught earlier if it were that bad

Anwar

@Zanna the devs might have thought same. but there can be exceptions. It's not guaranteed that all LQ will be caught

Zanna

6:06 AM

true, but I can't think of another reason

I never use that flag

Anwar

installing npp in wine

Kaz Wolfe

HAH! Who wants to bet Samsung is going to sue Apple for patent copying?

And of course nobody's going to ban iPhones even though you should now because they're blowing up too.

Anwar

some say that could be a political game made by Samsung

Kaz Wolfe

The iSheep in those comments omfg lol

Anwar

someone wants to know if their hardware is tested and can be answered only by a user who owns such device. on topic? askubuntu.com/q/841880/61218

@KazWolfe iSheep?

Zanna

I think he means people who will buy anything from Apple...

@Anwar the things you do for AU...

Kaz Wolfe

hey, i have NPP

NPP is good. I like it too much to leave it behind.

ISheep

iSheep was originally a SanDisk marketing description of users of Apple's iPod music player instead of SanDisk's own Sansa player. The marketing term is borrowed by some in tech sites and forums as an insult to a person who is an Apple Inc. products fan. The term is often used to bash Apple fanboys who over-advocate or promote the 'Apple cult' in online discussions, those usually involve fanboy wars over popular smartphone brands or manufacturers. == History == The term was introduced in May 2006 when SanDisk launched the "iDon’t" campaign to advertise the SanDisk Sansa. iDon't calls on "...

Anwar

6:26 AM

@KazWolfe then let me know if you can type other languages on it. Indian scripts for example

Kaz Wolfe

um.

let me see.

Edity

I'm dealing with a missing phone :(

But it aint my phone..

Kaz Wolfe

nope, @Anwar, or at least not OOTB

Edity

and some more ToS changes...

woops

misclicked star

Zanna

wouldn't it depend on having Telugu installed in your system?

Kaz Wolfe

6:31 AM

i'd think just font.

Edity

Time to run my speedup script

Anwar

@KazWolfe ah. Thank you. anything other than Latin script? I mean can you type other European scripts?

Kaz Wolfe

@Anwar gimme an example?

Anwar

For example French

Kaz Wolfe

yeah i see chars

Anwar

6:33 AM

I randomly typed some telegu letters. copy paste in notepad ಔರಗಹಿ what do you see?

Zanna

but that's still Latin

Anwar

tofu?

Kaz Wolfe

i see blocks in NPP but telegu in chrome

Anwar

good. same here

I found the encoding menu. It only supports some languages

:33133979 in npp? are you in windows?

Kaz Wolfe

not encoding, this is font i think

Anwar

6:36 AM

oh. so another question. Does wine use my ubuntu fonts ?

Kaz Wolfe

yep

Edity

@Anwar yummy

Zanna

@Anwar no just being an idiot :)

Kaz Wolfe

@Anwar Different font.

Anwar

@KazWolfe hmm... so it's only a font issue

@Edity what's up?

Edity

6:39 AM

@anwar tofu is yummy

lol

Zanna

true...

Anwar

@Edity notofu is the answer

@Zanna ?

@KazWolfe which font it was?

Kaz Wolfe

one of the script fonts, idk which one exactly

Edity

@Anwar >:( You are a disgrase to the tofus. Prepare to be processed into Tofu

Kaz Wolfe

something from the noto sans family

Anwar

6:40 AM

noto kills tofu

Zanna

@Anwar I didn't paste it anywhere, I was just admiring it here!

Kaz Wolfe

OH GOD NO WHY

YOUTUBE NO

Anwar

yeah! the answer is found!

is it?

Zanna

@Anwar I think that's OT, we usually kill such questions...

Anwar

@Zanna I miss "too localized" option

Zanna

6:47 AM

@Anwar yeah...

Kaz Wolfe

@Anwar too localized?

Anwar

a close option existed in past... removed now

Kaz Wolfe

I don't see that on the list of CV types

Zanna

I think it's sort of covered by no-repro

Kaz Wolfe

yeah, i don't see too localized as ever existing ;-;

Anwar

6:48 AM

yeah. but people are using POB!

@KazWolfe I'll find you one

Serg

uh, guys, i'm having a bit of problem with netstat here

Anwar

well... I can view Bengali in npp. but not telegu. even after selecting noto sans telegu! weird!

Serg

$ netstat
/bin/mksh: /bin/netstat: Input/output error

Kaz Wolfe

those are hackers!

but that's weird one. your hard drive may be weird, which is the only explanation i have for an IO error

Serg

my hard-drive . . .which is actually an ssd drive, is perfectly fine

ping also got error

Kaz Wolfe

6:52 AM

reboot?

Serg

$ ping -c 4 8.8.8.8
/bin/mksh: /bin/ping: Input/output error

Anwar

I'd restart

Serg

wireshark first

uh . . . .same error

reboot it is then

sigh

Anwar

ot as no-repro askubuntu.com/questions/840883/…

@kaz can you check if this makes sense? askubuntu.com/a/446492/61218

Kaz Wolfe

um.

i think key types did change?

Q: Convert OpenSSH private key into SSH2 private key

Is there a way to convert existing pair of OpenSSH keys to the SSH2 (ssh.com format) pair of keys? UPD: since there are some answers about ssh-keygen suddenly appeared, I'll explain where I came from (also it will be a nice answer on "what have you tried?"). $> diff --report-identical-files <(...
