Q: Multiple answers saying the same thing

CollDue96Often, I see people posting duplicate answers to the same question. Example scenario. Is this a problem? Should I flag them?

 
Good job Netflix
 
12:22 AM
Now... which templating language is that...
And what manner of stupid is this?

the +100 from joining a new site scared me again

@JourneymanGeek it always happens
I think "WHAT'D I DO"
then I realize
 
Hi World
 
1:32 AM
battery removal on the G2 is quite hard
it would have been so easy for LG to make this removable

Q: Who does the EOL notices?

CollDue96Who does the EOL notices, and why are they posted on meta and not the normal site? It seems they are all done by random people with high rep.

Q: allow specific ip range to connect to port socat backconnect

jony bobsSo, we have: server 1 and server 2. On server 2 I run the command: socat file:tty,raw,echo=0 tcp4-listen:443 To listen for connections from server 1. The problem is, if I visit the IP of server 2 on port 443, this ends up interrupting the connection from taking place, this applies as well if ...

3:33 AM
my wife didn't like my hat...she asked me to never wear it in public again...
 
Hi World
@TheXed I like your hat!
 
So did the cashier at the gas station.
 
@TheXed that hat seems... fishy

I'm challenging everyone here to moon-buggy!

3:38 AM
Made it to #18 XD
 
mooooon tuuuuurrrffff
 
LINUX > Feeble dos based os's
LINUX IS #1
 
@TheXed Ubuntu on WIndows required
 
3:43 AM
I don't have the preview version installed on this machine...
@Edity but I have a fish on my head...
 
Become a Insider today then
 
@Edity I am an insider...

Fast cat?
 
3:46 AM
Also, check the edit history of his question
Also, can we please VTC that Q ?
it's original edit is a dupe
 
Just not this laptop...
I would like to have one computer that I can actually get some work done on...
out of the three that I have sitting here...

How 'bout that one?
It even comes WITH A FREE MOUSE.
 
MACINTOSH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
@NathanOsman my laptop came with a free mouse pad...actually my laptop was free...
actually both of them where
 
@TheXed does anyone use mouse pads these days?
 
3:48 AM
Mouse pad? People still use those?
 
I do, but I'm a snob
 
@NathanOsman yes...
Err...I mean touch pad lol...
but Yes I still use a mouse pad too...
every try to use a laser mouse on a glass desk?
or a shiny black desk?
 
hello :D
 
@SeverusTux sup?
 
@NathanOsman I'd love to have that keyboard. I'd be like ' GTFO with your ergonomic keyboards guys, I've got some classic shiz right here '
 
3:52 AM
Is there any way I can put all my 2.5K rep on AU to a question on U&L ?
as bounty
 
@Serg I have been looking for a Model M keyboard for 10 years...I haven't been able to find one.
 
or put a 2.5 k rep bounty
 
@Serg You can still buy an oldschool IBM keyboard
 
3:54 AM
@SeverusTux you mean you want to transfer rep from one site to another ? No, that doesn't work that way
 
and lol. my usual gaming group was complaining about the clickyness of my keyboard the other day
 
@JourneymanGeek I have a desk pad :)
 
:( :(
 
@JourneymanGeek blue all the way ;)
 
I have a real problem on my laptop
 
3:54 AM
@JourneymanGeek what keyboard do you have?
 
@Serg you use arch ??
 
@TheXed old model blackwidow ultimate, aka the classic
Cherry blues
 
@SeverusTux only in virtual machine, haven't done much with it
 
@Mateo I should attach to that "for a reasonable price"
 
3:56 AM
@JourneymanGeek amazon ?
 
not far off from a nice gaming keyboard
 
@Serg unicomp
 
@JourneymanGeek my keyboard : logitech.com/en-us/product/k120
 
@TheXed I had something similar
 
It has been a pretty durable, no frills keyboard...
 
3:58 AM
but I've had this... I donno 5-6 years?
 
@JourneymanGeek I had a nice logitech keyboard (forgot what model) and I spilled coffee, or beer on it...
 
 
@TheXed K120 is a great choice, that was my previous keyboard
 
it didn't work after that...
 
that's a bit too expensive for my taste
 
3:59 AM
EYE-BM
 
oo, there's 45$ one ?
49.99 actually
 
@Serg might be a membrane ._.
2 dollar keyboards?
0_0
 
It's OK, I'll dir around second-hand stores , maybe there's gonna be something interesting. I found this super compfy emachines keyboard, but had to find a PS2/USB converter for it. Bought one, but it didn't work, so I had to get second one
 
@Serg I can't justify to my wife spending 142 dollars on a keyboard that looks like it feel out of the 1970's
 
I installed Arch, then I installed nvidia , then I installed GNOME. now I cant boot . It says "Oh no! Something wint wrong bla... with an emoji " . If I install mesa-libgl and replace nvidia-libgl. Everything works like a charm. But thats not want. I am trying to get GNOME working with nvidia-libgl.
I know i am allowed to talk onlu Ubuntu in this room. But U&L chatrooms are dead. ( Yes they are ). It would be such a great help if anyone could give some hint.
 
4:03 AM
format and try ubuntu ;P
 
Arch Linux hates people.
 
but anyway, are you saying it is missing emoji?
 
nooo....
 
@SeverusTux I wish I could help you , but I don't know a thing about nvidia . Asking me about graphics card is the same as asking a turtle why she is green
 
or are your graphics broke?
 
4:05 AM
@Serg what I take away from that is "my graphics card is slow".
 
I am saying : I can't boot to my computer when GNOME & nvidia-libgl are installed
 
@Serg why is the turtle green
 
anyway we aren't familiar with your error messages, what it uses for error messages, what it uses for login
there might be overlap, but exact messages, maybe screens might help
 
@edwinksl I'm an engineer not a biologist . . . Maybe because mother nature said YOLO ?
 
@edwinksl a Turtle is green because most live in green environments (marshes, lakes, forests, swamps etc.) This helps them blend in with the surroundings making it harder for predators to eat them...
 
4:07 AM
^ that
 
@Serg yolo is always the answer, upvoted and marked answer as accepted, +25
 
:D
 
lol , yay my answers are zebest
 
@edwinksl or some think turtles are green because they are herbivores and eat sea grasses and algae thus giving them a green colored fat...
 
green fat ?
wow, that's interesting
 
4:10 AM
here is what i get
( if someone is interested )
 
Also , reminder - never pick-up a turtle by it's shell ï¼› it's spine is literally glued to the shell
 
Now that I officially know more about turtles and why they are green, then I do Ubuntu, I will now have to leave...
@Serg yes that is true...they can also feel pressure, pain, tickling on their shell as it is part of their body...
 
@SeverusTux that's only Gnome issue right ? Other environments work ok with nvidia ?
 
@Serg I didn't try Other DEs
 
@Serg which brings me to my next question, why would you ever try to tickle a turtle?
 
4:12 AM
@TheXed i tickle all things that move. is that a bad thing?
 
@edwinksl well it could be... if that other thing doesn't want to be tickled...
 
@TheXed because humans are creative , and find 1000 and 1 way to screw everything up :D But humans also awesome, well some of them, so there's people like you who understand animals also feel those things
 
@edwinksl ever try to tickle a woman when she has a headache? bad idea...
3
 
@TheXed you sound like you had first-hand experience with trying that ;)
 
@edwinksl perhaps, but this isn't about me...
 
4:14 AM
@TheXed very bad idea. Typical solution is to run away or hide in a corner, and throws chocolate at her
 
@SeverusTux hey all that is missing is the QR code, and then it would be a Windows 10 BSOD...
@Serg good idea...making a note to keep chocolates in my night stand...
 
Meanwhile, I am drinking MINT tea , while ARCHing my back , over Ubuntu laptop . . . .
And god, I hate fireworks
 
@Serg fireworks? is it the Canadian Independence Day too? or do they just like celebrating with us Southerners?
 
iunno about you guys, i been celebrating uk independence since two days ago
fireworks galore
 
@edwinksl Independence from the EU doesn't count...
 
4:21 AM
in farage i trust
 
@TheXed it's pretty much preparation for 4th of July. Everybody get's fireworks like half-a-month early, then shoots it through out June.
 
@Serg sounds about like it goes here...
 
anyway, in case it wasn't obvious, i am joking. uk leaving the eu is a disaster, good luck to them
 
Stupid people don't realize that COLORADO IS FREAKIN DRY AS DESERT and there's a chance of starting fire with that carp
 
@Serg I thought you where in Canada?
 
4:24 AM
wha, sometime I don't get google suggestions
 
@Mateo lol...
 
are multiple accounts allowed? askubuntu.com/questions/791807/…
 
@edwinksl Okay I don't understand something,,, if a country say North Korea (random bad guy) where to attack a member country of the EU, would they be attacking that country, or the EU?
 
@TheXed nope, I am in Denver , Colorado, United States of 'Murica
 
interesting, but nothing to do with my search terms...
 
4:26 AM
@Serg where you ever in Canada...oh wait that was @NathanOsman?
 
@TheXed i am somewhat sure member nations are obligated to defend against such aggression
 
@TheXed I was in Vancouver only one night, when flying to China, and was there again for 3 hour , when flying back from China to Denver :)
 
Hmmm...must be someone else then.
 
yup, Nathan is in Canada. Might be you were confusing me with him :)
 
IIRC, nathan lives in some suburb near vancouver
 
4:33 AM
@Serg maybe...not a bad thing I suppose...for either of you...
 
really ? Aw,man , had I known that , I'd meet him up for a beer or something
 
So the Sweeds supported the German Nazi's in WWII
Interesting...
 
this might be a fun thing to do with VR - do any of the new head sets do eye tracking? livescience.com/…
 
4:49 AM
Okay good night.
 
night
 
I might go to bed early too. I didn't sleep well this morning

Q: Arch+GNOME : Oh no! something has gone wrong

Severus TuxI installed Arch linux 2016 and instaled the following packages in this order : nvidia and nvidia-libgl (then rebooted) xorg xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-apps gnome gnome-extra My system configuration : Nvidia Gforce 820M Intel HD graphics 4400 Intel i3 processor After reboot, I get...

 
okay
 
Is there any way I can start a bounty on a just asked question as it is in need of urgent solution ?
 
(lol this only triggers on Root Acesss)
 
6:41 AM
o/
Are our mods asleep? I've got a 10 hours old mod flag waiting for review...
 
@SeverusTux Does Antergos work with nvidia-libgl?
Antergos = Arch, with an easier install, maybe more drivers
 
Oh. I didn't know that.
is it good ? Antergos
 
@SeverusTux Well, it detects my Ethernet where "pure" Arch fails

Q: please delete my account

@JacobVlijm It was a dupe , before that guy started editing his question and asking "well how do i do that" , and "how do i do this?" . Original edit of his question was very much fitting the suggested dupe. But feel free to answer it - I don't mind whatsoever askubuntu.com/q/791793/295286
 
6:57 AM
@SeverusTux Also try installing xorg-xrandr
 
@ByteCommander i think I've seen a dupe of this question somewhere. Possibly even one of Jacob's answers
With Unity it's easy - compiz has builtin function for that.
Xubuntu on the other hand probably requires xrandr magic
 
7:15 AM
That's not my kind of magic...
 
@ByteCommander maybe you should learn and make me and Jacob competition ;)
 
@ByteCommander Ah, thanks, it is a dupe though, although hard to recognize
@Serg Haha, we often do. Would be sad if we wouldn't :)
 
@Serg Nah... I already know enough to forget everything.
 
ah dammit my answer was merged
goodbye 20 rep
 
7:21 AM
@Serg Although it is not the most elegant way to ask a question, he did mention some additional stuff in the first version of the question.
 
@Edity When two questions get merged, all answers should keep their votes. Only the accepted state of the minor question gets undone because a question can not have two accepted answers of course.
 
@ByteCommander it got merged to meta and now all I see is -20 rep
 
That is migration, not merging.
 
Aha moved to meta
 
yep

Q: Guake works, but does not load/display a terminal

KlaymenDKUsually, installing and running Guake is sufficient to make it drop down a terminal (for instance /bin/bash). Somehow, I managed to get Guake to start with no terminal -- just a black, empty "window body" where I would have expected the user@localhost: $ prompt. My /bin/bash works fine, as does ...

 
@JacobVlijm if i recal correctly , edits in first few minutes dont go into history. At first he didn't have any mention of password and stuff, but seconds later added it. Eh, like i said, i would not wanna touch that question , also foe security reasons. But as it stands i guess it's valid. Go for it !
 
@Serg Edits don't appear in the history if they are made within 3 (or so?) minutes after a previous edit and if there has not been any other action on the post within that time (like a comment or an answer).
 
@Serg I might. Not that it matters for you, but the password is stored in the browser :) Just needs to push the button. I am always in for dirty stuff, but not sure yet if I dare to post an answer on this one without losing my "reputation".
 
Meanwhile, I have other questions to take care of , which require limiting brightness
I feel like a lot of these questions have been asked before
 
@Serg Yeah, we might have to create a route- chart some day. "Is the question about screens, go to 5"
 
7:41 AM
@JacobVlijm by the way, I've been thinking , do you want to collab on some projects ? For the most part I frankly enjoy the competition, but a lot of devs work in teams, so why not try it sometimes ?
 
@Serg would love to!
 
Found the dupe @ByteCommander askubuntu.com/q/615780/295286
 
@Serg it has no votes, due to over involvement of OP there. Cannot be mentioned as a dupe.
 
@JacobVlijm yeah, the system told me that already. So VTC'd with the one you suggested
Offline for maintenance . . . .welp, there goes my hunt for new questions
 
7:56 AM
? not here...
maybe they are vacuum cleaning just for you.
 
yup , denver's servers are being vacuumed and dusted , maybe even cooled
aaand it's back
 
8:21 AM
Can we plz VTC this old one ? askubuntu.com/q/457815/295286
 
@Serg only issue is that for mouse- stuff, he will have to include a sleep 15 or so. ELse it will break :(
....his own answer will be unreliable...
 
@JacobVlijm but X server is already running as soon as user logs in , because lightdm is running. It should work.
@JacobVlijm think you can provide a better solution there ?
 
...Yep, but in most cases, local stuff overrules nevertheless
He is almost there, but needs to include the break (and not necessary to make it a script)
...Messy question though, reads like a bumpy road
....to a Dutch Guy
Left him a note to suggest the edit.
 
@JacobVlijm the post is from 2014, i think. Low chances of responding
 
goodnight
 
8:34 AM
bye mr pencil
 
bye :)
 
@Serg Aaaaarrrrrgh, good heavens, why didn't I pay attention to that.
 
new rule: ping me only if necessary when I say goodnight. If you do ping me in the middle of the night, I won't be happy.
goodnight for reals now
 
@grooveplex An easy homework question.
 
8:51 AM
Dammit heemayl !!!
Beaten me to it again !!!
I've exactly same solution too
find . -type f -maxdepth 1 -printf "%TY %Tm %Td\n" | sort | uniq -c
funk !!!
OK, I'm done rage-typing . . . next question . . .
 
9:04 AM
There , found alternative solution with awk
 
9:49 AM
any GNOME users here ?
@ParanoidPanda here ?
My backspace key is not working on nautilus. I mean... It should navigate to parent directory when pressed. Any thoughts ?
GNOME 3.20
( I won't say which OS :P )
 
@SeverusTux How about Alt+Up ? That goes to upper directory
 
@Serg that works, but I am habituated to use Backspace :)
 
By the way, guys, check out some of my functions here: askubuntu.com/a/791890/295286
Might help you navigate command line ;)
OK, I'm gonna be off for the night soon, so . . .any final requests ?
 
10:04 AM
@Serg final request from chat is you don't go to bed
 
@edwinksl Strange thing is ... my ~/.config/nautilus/access file is empty :/
 
@edwinksl if that's 100% serious, I can do that :) I have pretty good stamina for staying up all night
All engineering students do have that
 
@Serg indeed i am also an engineering student

Q: How to migrate a question?

RD017How can I migrate any question between various Stack Exchange websites if it seems to be off-topic?

 
who isn't one in this chat
i imagine not many :D
 
10:07 AM
@edwinksl well, technically you're the only second engineering student I've seen here O.o
The rest are devs or IT professionals
 
@Serg IT as in computer science?
 
@edwinksl IT as in sysadmins . . . computer science is more under "dev" category
 
ah
they should have pretty good stamina too; they get to fix other people's mistakes and these mistakes occur 24/7
 
that's true,too
 
@Serg I am an engineering student :D
so third
 
10:11 AM
niceeeeeeee
@Serg there is an extra space between goup and 6
 
meh, it's ok. In this case spaces aren't important
 
it annoys me (but probably nobody else)
 
10:33 AM
@SeverusTux i see you have an account on the AL forums! how're the people there?
 
11:22 AM
so third@edwinksl they are good :) friendly ... but there aare not many dedicated users. Only 200-300 users online
 
11:45 AM
@SeverusTux Hello! Is it just me or has the flow of questions decreased lately?
 
11:56 AM
it is you :=)
 
@muru what do you mean by party here?
sd k
 
@Pandya that you commented on a year old topic
 
12:14 PM
@AndroidDev you can find out on the SE data explorer... for example there is already this query... data.stackexchange.com/askubuntu/query/6134/… but you can make a more focused one (like per week for the last 12 weeks?)
 
@AndroidDev same here :)
 
@Rinzwind was Ubuntu's MATE version 14.04 an unofficial flavour?
 
@AndroidDev but I think I can only keep a low profile .... coz no Ubuntu now , using arch :D
 
@SeverusTux using i3wm on arch?
 
@Pandya yes. Ubuntu MATE 15.04 and onward are official Ubuntu flavours
 
12:29 PM
@Rinzwind oh! ok
 
Does anybody know how long CentOS keeps there log files?!
 
what log files? and why would an OS delete them by default?!
I'd assume never?!
 
1:13 PM
@edwinksl no . just Arch and GNOME

@Zacharee1 Did ya shave her?
;-)
 
please give picture of cat
 
@ByteCommander him. He's just shedding a lot
@Rinzwind wat
 
3:01 PM
@Zacharee1 they need a lot of pounds ;-)
 
ugh
 
@Rinzwind You expect them to lose Scotland, or why are you emphasizing this?
 
25% drop of the pound against the dollar
They already need lots of pounds ;)
 
Aha.
Well, they shot themselves in the foot.
 
not only that. after the 1st shot they also shot the other foot.
and both arms
