Seth

I tend to like new designs.

This will be interesting.

Zacharee1

I always like new designs

Except for iOS 7

Too much flat gray

Android's flat too, but it's at least interesting

@ByteCommander done

Byte Commander

New designs? No thanks...

Zacharee1

9:47 PM

@ByteCommander but, but Material....

James

I like Material

i like iOS

Zacharee1

se magnifique

James

whatever chrome is doing right now is not those

Byte Commander

The new horrible Gnome designs are enough bad changes for one year...

Zacharee1

@James they've made the design a little better on iOS, but it's still too boring and flat for me

@ByteCommander GO GEDIT

:)

Videonauth

9:47 PM

is there somwhere a man pages database online?

Byte Commander

Yes... The pestilential hamburger...

Actually, my gedit does not even have that hamburger!

Zacharee1

Wait, Flash is no longer supported by Adobe? Since when?

@ByteCommander ha

Byte Commander

It has only an open, a save and a new button. That was it.

Videonauth

since like ... forever

Zacharee1

wat

Seth

9:48 PM

@Videonauth manpages.ubuntu.com

Videonauth

@Seth thank you

Zacharee1

o_O: google.com/…

vuln, vuln, vuln, vuln, vuln

Seth

@James @NathanOsman I can't find anything online about the new design. Screenshot?

Videonauth

@Zacharee1 i guess now you fully understand the flash calendar posted by @NathanOsman :)

chaskes

@ByteCommander Me neither! It's weird because it's there in other distros

Byte Commander

9:50 PM

Do your gedits have pestilential hamburger buttons?

Zacharee1

@Videonauth yurp

Seth

oh I found a few things now, but nothing recent.

Videonauth

@ByteCommander did you get your skype sorted out meanwhile?

Byte Commander

@Videonauth No. Couldn't invest too much time into that yet...

chaskes

@NathanOsman My new chrome is great. Are you on the amd machine?

Zacharee1

9:51 PM

@ByteCommander why would you have a hamburger menu when you have the File menu?

Install GNOME 3 and you'll see the burger

Videonauth

@Zacharee1 he nrormaly would have the old gedit menu but since skype acted up he removed the downgrade in hope to sort it out

chaskes

@Zacharee1 Is that being handled by the toolkit or is there a separate unity build?

Zacharee1

@chaskes it seems I'm wrong

chaskes

how so?

Zacharee1

wait no

chaskes

9:53 PM

mine is just like @ByteCommander

Zacharee1

I'm confusing myself again :p

@chaskes do you have GNOME?

Byte Commander

Unity > Gnome

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander IMO, idk

chaskes

here it's unity; but my other distros tend to be gnome and they have the hamburger. I had been thinking the same thing as you

Zacharee1

I would think it's because GNOME doesn't have the File, Edit, etc menus in the top bar

Byte Commander

9:54 PM

Gnome just sometimes make me feel like I'm using apple stuff - everything is sealed and you only have one button.

chaskes

but wondering if the toolkit handles this diff auto or if unity made a separate build than for gnome

Zacharee1

if at all

@chaskes if you install GNOME DE as well you'll see

chaskes

if i remember right in gnome its in the hamburger

Seth

@ByteCommander exactly. I hate it.

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander the home button?

@ByteCommander the smash the device with a hammer button?

Seth

9:56 PM

reminds me of this

If you leave people only one small opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot, they will build a foot cannon and blow everyone's feet off.

chaskes

@Seth Speaking of that, now that I have a powerful computer kde is not bad again

Zacharee1

I love KDE

I really need to install it

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 that one. :P

Seth

@chaskes yeah, I installed it on my 3rd partition last week. It's nice, but I cannot manage to live without my unity keyboard shortcuts :/

I used to use KDE back in the 11.10 days though.

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander good

I see I hit the nail on the head

(or the phone in this case)

chaskes

9:58 PM

my only complaint with kde is i'm always unitentionally dragging and dropping icons. somehow they stick to the mouse

Byte Commander

or the nail into the phone...

Zacharee1

heh

Seth

@Zacharee1 nice

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander I wonder if TechRax has tried that yet

@Seth Thank you. I'll be here all night

Byte Commander

Don't know who/what that is...

Zacharee1

9:58 PM

(that's a very high possibility btw)

@ByteCommander he drops iPhones from 100s of feet in different makeshift cases, boils them, puts them in acid, runs over them

Videos are usually titled, "Can an iPhone Xx Survive Y?"

Seth

Nothing can survive Y.

Zacharee1

@Seth yyyyyyyyy

String y = "avada kedavra";

Byte Commander

I once had a mate who accidentally had put his phone over a bonfire... it did survive!

Zacharee1

iPhone? Call TechRax!

Byte Commander

That was some special outdoor phone though, I believe a Samsung, but not sure...

user139252

10:01 PM

Ah! I'm back!

Byte Commander

It had a big screw on its back with which you were able to open the case.

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander Samsung basic phones can be durable

@TheBrownOne nooooO! >:}

Seth

ooh, Google won Oracle v Google!

That's great.

Nathan Osman

You're a bit late to the party... :)

But yeah, that was good news.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman Look who's talking :p

Nathan Osman

10:02 PM

:D

Seth

@NathanOsman hey, I was in the garden :P

Zacharee1

@Seth the Secret Garden?

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 I think it was a Samsung Galaxy Xcover like this one:

Zacharee1

nice

Byte Commander

The screw fits what I have in mind.

Zacharee1

10:04 PM

Is that actually Android?

Seth

@Zacharee1 only to you :p

Byte Commander

It is.

Zacharee1

@Seth o_O

Seth

Looks like 2.6 with a terrible Samsung skin (like normal).

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander that phone can't have a capacitive touchscreen though

@Seth hey, the Note5's UI is actually quite nice

Of course, there's TONS of bloat in the background

user139252

10:07 PM

@Zacharee1 Agree with me, or you'll be eaten.

Videonauth

videonauth.dyndns.org/index.php/2016/05/26/…

Seth

@TheBrownOne you're the wrong number to eat someone. That's 7's job.

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne go eat o_O

@Videonauth hey! CSS!

Videonauth

if anyone want to have a neak peek password is 'sneak peek'

yeah i know i not have found it yet within the theme

user139252

Videonauth: I think your site is blocked by my work D=

Nathan Osman

10:08 PM

I've got 14.04 running in a container and do-release-upgrade returns "No new release found". Huh?

Zacharee1

@Videonauth pw doesn't work

Videonauth

huh ?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman is 16.04.1 out yet?

password @Videonauth

Nathan Osman

Oh, right.

I forgot about that.

Zacharee1

@Videonauth wait nvm

Nathan Osman

10:09 PM

Can I manually force an upgrade to 16.04?

Zacharee1

I gotz it

@NathanOsman -d

Seth

@NathanOsman -d

Videonauth

@Zacharee1 without the '

Nathan Osman

Videonauth

@TheBrownOne huh ?

Zacharee1

10:09 PM

@Videonauth I know that :p. I kept messing up "peek"

Nathan Osman

I love Docker.

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman I saw a question about exactly that within the last days on the main site...

Zacharee1

@Videonauth I may or may not have posted a comment

Videonauth

well i will see :) im not fully done with it yet

user139252

@Videonauth I'm at work. Trying to visit your site gives a privacy error.

Videonauth

10:10 PM

awww

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne it is dyndns

Nathan Osman

I can create a 14.04 container, upgrade it to 16.04, and as soon as I type "exit" the container is completely purged and everything is as it was before.

user139252

Yes, I know.

user139252

My work network still might block it.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman that's pretty cool

Videonauth

10:14 PM

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman You need sudo do-release-upgrade -d or wait until 16.04.01 is out.

Zacharee1

@Videonauth hellu

Byte Commander

A: Why is "No new release found" when upgrading from a LTS to the next?

According to Ubuntu Engineering Foundations team manager Steve Langasek: Upgrades between LTS releases are not enabled by default until the first point release, 14.04.1, scheduled for July. It is recommended that most LTS users wait until then before upgrading to 14.04. If you choose to up...

user139252

Grrr... imgur is also blocked.

Zacharee1

5 mins ago, by Nathan Osman

I forgot about that.

@TheBrownOne ha

user139252

10:14 PM

I forgot how necessary my VPN was.

Zacharee1

I would recommend ProxGur, but it's dead

user139252

Nah, I'll just open up an SSH tunnel.

Nathan Osman

@ByteCommander It's for testing something in a container, so I don't care about stability.

Videonauth

@TheBrownOne i leave it in the protected state while im working on it so you can have a look later

user139252

Got my tunnel opened, I can view now :P

Videonauth

10:16 PM

im pretty sure my english is cruel lol

or is it gruesome :) ?

Zacharee1

@Videonauth I'll copywrite if you want ;p

gruesome would fit better I think

Grammar-wise; I haven't read the post

user139252

@Videonauth Nice theme!

user139252

Too much color for me, but it looks good.

user139252

Better than my extremely plain blog :P

Zacharee1

Gruesome:

user139252

10:18 PM

Which I should really update tonight...

Videonauth

@TheBrownOne yeah just need to find out how to change link colors and the code highlighting colors

user139252

You need to use the theme editor.

Videonauth

@TheBrownOne to be honest for your kind of writing i love your theme its not distracting

never used wordpress untill 4 days ago

Seth

anyone here use irssi?

user139252

@Seth Nope, I'm an epic5 kinda gal.

user139252

10:20 PM

Sorry.

Zacharee1

@Seth since I had to look it up, I'm going to say no

user139252

@seth I can install irssi if you need to test something...

Seth

@TheBrownOne nah, I'm just looking for a decent IRC client.

And a lot of people who use IRC a lot use irssi.

Right now I'm using konversation, but it doesn't work too well in a GNOME stack.

user139252

I chose epic5 because it lets me specify a channel from command line arguments.

user139252

Irssi wouldn't do that.

Seth

10:24 PM

I'm sure there's a way to do it..

did you look at its config file?

hmm, I guess I'll just dive in and see what happens.

user139252

I looked at the manpage

Zacharee1

@Seth "It's time for another 'Good Idea,' 'Bad Idea.'"

user139252

With epic5, I'm able to make aliases, though, that let me just type "irc-susans" or "irc-CA" to automatically connect to the different servers/channels that I use

user139252

That way my one config works with all of my connections, and I don't have to specify a channel in any config

Seth

@TheBrownOne but if you'd like to join #askubuntu and mention me it'd be nice.

I'd like to see how notifications work.

user139252

10:32 PM

What's the server?

user139252

Freenode?

Zacharee1

grr

My modded MC is getting stuck on 3/7 starting

Seth

@TheBrownOne yeah

I kinda thought that was a given xD

user139252

The other two servers I visit are both self-hosted :P

Seth

thanks @TheBrownOne

Zacharee1

10:43 PM

When you see it

user139252

That seems reasonable.

Zacharee1

Now that I think about it

I mean, it is a whole 5.46 off

user139252

It's probably at least 2-day shipping.

Videonauth

do i read there a shipping fee of 99,999.00 U$ ?

o_O

Zacharee1

@Videonauth yesh

I'm going to guess the API or script or whatever is used wasn't updated on one side

Videonauth

10:47 PM

for this price I'd expect a delivery by helicopter protected by a whole batallion od US navy seals :p

the whole show

Zacharee1

It very well could be

But it's only 16GB DDR3 RAM

Not like the new top-secret LPDDR21

:p

Q: Is it possible to control font size?

Can I make some text larger or smaller? btw I noticed an answer here (by Oli), there's a line where the text seems smaller.

Zacharee1

11:05 PM

Why is Chef Ramsey shouting at and torturing people so entertaining.

Seth

I don't find it entertaining.

Zacharee1

Well aren't you just human?

Seth

that moment when you forget a piece of software has a windows/OSX version, and people look at your questions funny since they're not running linux

Zacharee1

Videonauth

@Zacharee1 didn't believe it? :D theres a bunch more html which is working on AU site but i not going to reveal all my tricks ;)

Zacharee1

11:18 PM

Wasn't sure, because not all of them do :p

But like I said in my answer, they will change between browsers unless AU has something set for each

Videonauth

the hgroup is mostly setup in the css sec ill have a look
