/me tries to figure out a bad spelling profile pic
 
@edwinksl That wasn't even a proper script , just a collection of commands to speed up same thing done by hand, and it was way back when i was figuring out Ubuntu and scripting and stuff. OP's problem though is that he has Nvidia . . .

Where do you get the base image from or do you all just start from scratch more or less making your own?

Q: Why is it not possible to connect to my server using RSA from an Ubuntu machine?

EdwardI tried to connect to my server using ssh xxxx@xxxxxxx The result was: Unable to negotiate with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss Then I ran ssh xxxx@xxxxxxx -G with the output user xxxx hostname xxxxxxx port 22 addressfamily any batchmode no...

 
@ParanoidPanda Zach made all those , with his awesome photoshop sckillz

@Serg: I bet I could do better. I would challenge him, but I can't be bothered as I don't really need one. :P
 
9:05 PM
@SmokeDetector can a 10k+ pls send me a screenie?
 
@KazWolfe what is a screenie ?
 
screenshot
@KazWolfe I can... but of what?
 
Oh, he wants to read that rant ?
Yup, that was a good rant, but not very creative. OP just nitpicking at everything , from Ubuntu itself to this site and the reputation and badge system ; oh and he's overusing the f word. Sigh . . . . insults have to be creative, you know? You can't just use f word and think it does it
 
And no, the "f word" wasn't "Fedora" although we look down on using that word here :D

@Serg good rants deserve viewing
or just vote me up to 10k :P
 
9:14 PM
@KazWolfe well, here you go then
 
Yup.
It wasn't "fedora".
 
i like it.
 
@NathanOsman he used something worse : "Vista"
 
@Serg FLAGGED
 
How dare he mention Vista !!!
 
9:16 PM
@Serg FLAGGED AGAIN
 
DO NOT SAY THE "V WORD".
 
<.< dammit , i hope no mods are gonna ban me for that
V for Vendetta ?
 
We'll use the euphemism "visa" in its place.
For example, "I upgraded Windows XP to Windows Visa".
 
V!s+4
 
^--- creative
 
9:17 PM

@Zacharee1 I left a comment with suggestions.

Or even alias that to one char
 
Yes.
 
OHMYGOD MY SIDES

Q: dpkg warning about '/etc/lsb-release' version number not starting with a digit

Paranoid PandaI believe I spotted it during the upgrade from Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 to 16.04, but I know for sure that I spotted it just know during a dist-upgrade, I sometimes get this warning from dpkg: dpkg: warning: version '/etc/lsb-release' has bad syntax: version number does not start with a digit The co...

 
@ParanoidPanda try booting 14.04 VM or older one, see if the contends look similar

This guy, read the santa claus message in santa claus voice Now I wonder why ?
 
9:48 PM
@Serg Voted to close under "wat"
 
user136984
@Serg: Maybe I could just post a comment asking for it on the new post of a new and unsuspecting user... ;P
 
@ParanoidPanda Not breaking.
Happened this morning
 
:( this ISIS crap needs to stop

user136984
@KazWolfe: Ok, but it was posted 4 minutes ago on the BBC so it is breaking for them. At least them getting the updated information on it.
 
9:51 PM
@Zacharee1 i guess the one you updated in your meta answer is the latest version, so i just got that
 
@KazWolfe ?
 
flags
weird posts
 
@Serg Oh I remember that one.
 
Can't connect to wifi, fairly certain it happened after update this morning. Ubunta 15.10
ubunta
 
@Serg it's still here - askubuntu.com/questions/711042/…
Should we roll back the edits? :D
 
9:55 PM
@KazWolfe I see low quality posts, but nothing really actionable
they're attempts to answer the question
 
@ThomasW. I think it got taken care of
Someone posted two answers, the second to disregard the first
@NathanOsman I approve.
 
Then be my guest :D

Q: How to recover my list of who's naughty and nice?

Santa ClausThis year, I finally made the switch to Ubuntu Linux. * One of my elves (who knows a thing or two about computers) helped me migrate from my old Windows Me computer to a newer machine with Ubuntu installed. I don't know anything about databases or spreadsheets or anything like that. I used to u...

:D
This should be locked.
It is too perfect
 
Did you read his profile?

user136984
9:58 PM
Goodnight! :)
 
Now I've got "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" stuck in my head. ಠ_ಠ
 
Give him all the upvotes!
@NathanOsman you better watch out!

and this just got bumped to the top of active questions. PERFECT.
 
you better not cry im tellin you why
 
@ParanoidPanda good night!
 
9:59 PM
@KazWolfe YESH
OK, that dupe is not a good dupe
 
how much trouble would I get into for adding a fake mod note, like on the Zalgo post?
 
I'm gonna do @Oli's suggestion and make the upside down Ubuntu
@KazWolfe ?

A: RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags

bobinceYou can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool th...

lol
 
really though.
how much trouble would that get me in to?
 
10:03 PM
maybe a 10 day suspension?
:)
 
that's almost worth it
 
@ThomasW. how much? ^^
lol
 
paging the great and friendly mod @ThomasW.
 
please stop spamming me with pings
 
sorry
 
10:05 PM
i'll answer once i'm done with this phone call

@KazWolfe (1) You can't because it's locked (2) it'd be abuse and be treated accordingly
 
ʇʞǝɟɹǝd zı
 
I flipped my laptop to read that . . . .didn't work
 
10:08 PM
yeah
 
@KazWolfe well, there's your answer :)
 
uduntu
 
@Undo the post isn't locked though...
 
@KazWolfe doesn't matter
 
@Undo the Santa Claus thing, not the SO thing
 
10:09 PM
@Zacharee1 Oh. Yeah, it'd still be abuse.
I wouldn't recommend it.
 
lol
 
awh :(
can i convince a real mod to do it?
 
heh
 
and is it still abuse if I'm not pretending to be a mod?
 
Well nfunpn is live on Meta
 
10:10 PM
@KazWolfe I'm not going to give you a bright line here; there isn't one. It's a "you know it when you see it" (and when you do it) situation.
 
oaky fine
 
Meanwhile on 4chat: tech gore
 
@Serg wai
 
@Zacharee1 for the lolz
LOLz: explaining stupid decisions since invention of the interwebs
 
How's that?
 
10:17 PM

Maybe i should change my avatar to this

Ubunto, by the windo . . . .
 
added a reference
 
I just watched Jonah A VeggieTales Movie, and in Nineveh, the people had a problem with smacking each other with fish... thanks for the reminder...
 
Fish is a deadly weapon
 
@Serg my weapon of choice is the rainbow trout...
 
@TheXed do you like to walk with tomatoes
 
10:49 PM
@Zacharee1 no but I do like dancing up and down the produce aisle...
 
@TheXed I'd probably choose canned tuna - it's easier to throw at people
 
@TheXed aisle
@Serg lol
 
@Serg technically speaking a <can> of tuna isn't fish.
 
:)
 
but it's still throwable XD
 
10:51 PM
 
You don't throw rainbow trout at people, you smack them with it...
 
I would like to introduce you to Dell. — Zacharee1 10 secs ago
@TheXed oh, but can a squash make you smile?
 
@Zacharee1 nice way to be obscure , but we're supposed to guide people onto the righteous path
 
@Serg Dell's OK
 
@Zacharee1 Did you see my comment on that post ?
 
10:57 PM
yes
so boring and serious
so unlike Serg
wait
 
<.<
 
who are you and what have you done to Serg?
 
he was de-serg'd by your alter-ego @Zacharee1
:P
 
wat
I have an alter-ego?
 
i think i need to borrow mod hammer to gently caress Zach's head with it
 
10:59 PM
@Serg that sounds very creepy
 
but also sounds very sergy
 
Oh, so now you recognize me ?
 
@edwinksl or Sergiy?
Sergiy SomethingSlavik
 
As long as it's not serGAY , we're cool
 
@Serg -__
 
11:00 PM
I think we need a wikipedia entry for "Sergiy"

Hey isn't Sergist a place where a bunch of bikers gather in South Dakota?
Oh wait no that is Sturgis...
 
(disclamer : I'm not against gays . . . I totally would go gay for Brad Pitt . . . but that's a different story )
 
uh
@Serg seems like everyone's doing that these days
 
Angelina wouldn't like that though :/
 
11:01 PM
-_-
 
@Serg you couldn't pick someone better looking then Brad Pitt? Like David Duchovny.
 
lol
Agent Mulder
@TheXed you need to choose an avatar
 
@TheXed but have you seen Brad Pitt in "Fight Club" ? Some physique there !!!
 
weirdos
 
And what exactly do you mean by research purposes ? If you have no idea what you're doing, you might seriously break your system, and then no lol-cats for you no more — Serg 11 secs ago
 
11:07 PM
@Serg sadness
 
watch the world burn
 
11:23 PM
@KazWolfe been there, done that
 
@ThomasW. answering questions that are dangerous are fun for research!
 
I meant watching the world burn... I've had some vivid nightmares before of that...
but okay.
 
Now who was it that wanted to translate NitroShare?
 
@NathanOsman let's make it Java instead of Go!
 
11:36 PM
it's not Go?
 
No, I decided against it for this release.
It's still in good old C++.
 
i thought everything you did was in Go lol
:P
 
It's always one of Go, C++, or Python.

@ThomasW. you need to ban yourself for spam
 
Our neighbor's dog is trying to break another hole in the fense
 
@Serg Okay!
 
I've not seen more stupid dog ever
 
@Serg you have not seen my dog, have you?
 
11:45 PM
@Zacharee1 I need coffee is what :)
 
@KazWolfe no and I don't wanna :p
 
@ThomasW. Banux is compatible with Coffee OS
 
Is there any animal control or something we could call ?
 
is it your fence?
 
@KazWolfe Of course he has. You know @Serg has a hobby of stalking people
 
11:46 PM
if so, then yes.
tl;dr: dog has gotten stuck numerous times in the gate.
and he may have run full force into a glass door once or twice
(he's just fine)
 
@Zacharee1 huh ?
