7:35 AM
@Serg Whoa, that one is cool!
Maybe I should switch to SuSE? ;-)
\m/ (^_^) \m/
 
:) I knew you'd like it
 
Oh, you turned into an ubunut?
 
CODE TOGETHER
 
Yes, i have , with Zacharee's help
 
RIGHT NOW!
WE'RE ALL FREE!
 
7:37 AM
I am coding right now, too by the way :p anybody wanna python together ?
 
Yeah! :)
 
I'm making another script to compete with Jacob . . kidding though :p
Well . . . now that i think about it, it actually might be competing . . .sorta . . .his script is better though . . .mine is simple . . .
 
@Serg wowwowwow.... You know you are not allowed to do that
 
What is it about this time?
Speaking of the devil... ;)
 
7:39 AM
Yeah, what is it THIS TIME
 
@JacobVlijm I know I know . . . but I'll post it as my own Q&A, I promiz . . . .
I won't steal none of your OPz
 
Haha, but which post?
 
Well, you'll see. It has to do something with workspaces and desktops
 
Holy cow, that'S what YouTube'S Autoplay started right after "Code together": youtube.com/watch?v=2tqXKGP1S88
How the heck do they think those videos relate?
 
@Serg I don't like it at all (kidding)
 
7:42 AM
@ByteCommander Don't you know ? Youtube hires very intelligent monkeys, and they makeup those autoplay playlists
 
WINDOWS
 
DOORS
 
CURTAINS
 
@Edity How many?
 
4
 
7:43 AM
doors 4 windows?
 
THE WINDOWS LOGO
@JacobVlijm I have a pencil-ache right now.
 
where?
 
DOESNT ANYONE KNOW PENCIL-ache
 
Now listening:
For Windows?
May someone shoot the referee, please?
 
nooooooooo
 
7:48 AM
o.O
 
O.o
Vote for Ubuntu! Make Linux great again!
@ByteCommander I was joking, the red card was a pun to the red flag song
 
Bad pun...
 
yup
 
(lol)
 
7:51 AM
My first Ubuntu. ^
 
@Edity mods are not really fond of deleted messages.
 
yep
 
(removed)
 
(re- removed)
 
It's @NathanOsman 's birthay tomorrow
 
7:53 AM
I'm really surprised how good the speakers of my notebook are. No need for external ones to listen to music.

Q: How to send sudo password over pipe?

mammuthusI need to replace existing sshd config on the remote PC and restart sshd, so I try to use this: cat /sshd_cfg | ssh user@192.168.0.47 "cat > /etc/ssh/sshd_config && service sshd restart" but I get bash: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Permission Denied So to use sudo I try "echo pass | sudo -S" but ge...

 
@Edity it was StefanoPalazzo's b-day yday
 
@ByteCommander Lol , we both started with a development release. I started with 13.10 , one year earlier though
virtual hi five o/\o
 
i think the first one i tried was 9.04 or 9.10
 
8:02 AM
To spend muney on a book or not to spend muney on a book , that is the question ? That book is like 30$
price of a dinner for two
 
What is the book about?
 
@ByteCommander python , of course
 
BUY IT!
;-)
 
@Serg Once bought a big fat book on python. I must have read at least five pages
... It is also known that managers don't read books on management
 
Yeah, but we're sort of coding folks. We need to get knowledge somewhere
My neighbors have the most annoying dog ever. I can't go outside , she starts barking and wont stop
If anything gonna make me quit smoking, it's that damn dog
 
8:08 AM
I guess that homeless guy in this video is the only one who owns a flex and welding equipment... youtube.com/watch?v=RAOnUF8t20w
@Serg I thought that would have had to be your girlfirend?
 
@ByteCommander well my gf or that
She's veeery shy. I wonder if she can handle my weirdness well enough
 
wild russian
 
ukrainian, but that's beside the point
 
I totally forgot how I love Powerwolf. Did not listen to them for months now probably.
 
oops my bad
 
8:17 AM
WHY the heck does YouTube recommend me videos about Frauke Petry and the AfD???
Only because I'm German you think I'm nationalistic?
>:-P
 
[insert Germany and Nazi joke here]
 
Why the heck do they associate me with that while listening to Powerwolf?
 
^ exactly my thoughts.
 
jman! :-0
 
8:24 AM
@ByteCommander listen to some chinese music, maybe they'll associate you with communism then XD
 
@ByteCommander face it. you are German. Period.
 
I think he is well aware that he is German
 
@Serg china is more democratic than the US ;-)
 
So? Not every German is a Nazi and not every Nazi is German, although that intersection is growing...
 
8:25 AM
@Rinzwind in some aspects - yes.
speaking of Nazis. . . . hold on
 
@ByteCommander so you will get German music offered :=)
 
for what it matters... google thinks I am Japanese >:-D
and like poker :P
 
Gloryhammer is Scottish/Swiss btw, not German. I got them recommended anyway. And I liked them before.
 
gloryhammer is. Hi. Lar. Ious.
 
8:29 AM
Rly?
It's nice melodic power metal.
 
I was disconnected for a short while LOL
 
did community just reject my 2 edits because @Byte was editing the same thing
i am so done with community
 
Really? Sorry. I just noticed one of them.
 
think so.
@edwinksl You cannot escape the community bot. They have cunningly coded Community.
 
the way the community handles pending edits is pretty bad
it should just not let me submit instead of racking up my reject count
 
8:37 AM
@edwinksl Simply earn another 366 points and you don't need to get your edits reviewed any more.
 
that isn't really tackling the root issue here
 
And if you submit your edit while I am also editing it and I submit mine after you, how should it reject yours before you submit it?
 
i don't care about the 2 rep points, but it sucks when the bot does things that don't make sense to me
 
So what should it have done instead?
 
 
8:39 AM
you start edit → I start edit → you submit edit → I submit edit → my edit overrides yours and causes automatic rejection of the review.
@Edity That would look nice as pocket lighter.
 
LOL
 
It's the Russia Music Video Records
 
@ByteCommander i think what happens is this: i edit the post and haven't submitted it, you then edit the post and submit it before i do, then i submit and my edit gets rejected.
 
Why do I appear every time someone edits a chat comment?!?
 
8:44 AM
@ByteCommander those guys are with Napalm Records. If you've watched those pirate videos i posted ( em , what are they called again , i forgot ? ) , then you will have those guys suggested too
Alestorm, yes !
those guys
 
what would make sense to me is community simply saying that post has been edited while i am in the process of editing it and therefore i should merge my edit with the newly updated post. this would be analogous to pushing to, say, a master branch in git that has changes that i haven't merged in yet. git simply doesn't allow me to push (at least not without using --force).
edits are rejected for various reasons including for being bad and for being not fast enough. these two reasons should not be lumped together into a single number.
the first one should count, second one not so
 
@Edity It's Russian Turbo Polka Metal
 
oh
 
@ByteCommander if you want more russian or ukrainian power metal , i can suggest a few
 
Tell me!
Wow, if you already thought that previous video was colorful, watch this one!
I surely want to know what their producer has smoked before making this video...
 
8:50 AM
@ByteCommander Here's one : "Conquest" , ukrainian power metal
Lyrics of this song sort of suck, but the music is awesome
 
@Serg And no, I watched Powerwolf and Gloryhammer which are also playing for Napalm Records.
 
@Serg this seems an interesting problem for you askubuntu.com/q/792216/15003
 
@ParanoidPanda For your paranoia: askubuntu.com/q/792214/367990
@Serg Yeah, they sound nice.
I must remember that guy's name.
 
@ByteCommander there's a full album of those guys on youtube, i can give a link if you wanna. Next one, is Russian band : "Epidemia": youtube.com/watch?v=77onwAw_XzY
The song is titled "Sword and Magic"
 
There are full albums of everything on YouTube...
Dunno... For some reason I think that they sound a bit weird.
Maybe it's that rough Russian language which does not fit the melodic instruments? No idea.
Okay, I'm switching over to web radio now and reboot into Windows to drive some tanks.
 
9:28 AM
@ByteCommander check my answer on that mv question, let me know what you think. Maybe i should add other error checking ?
i always overlook something
 
@Serg "bellow" :P
 
fsck !
Maybe i should stop using that word altogether
@ByteCommander by the way about Conquest, here's one of my favorite songs of theirs. youtube.com/watch?v=0zYPw8HacH4 ( if you're interested )
 
I just turned on Rockhausradio while driving tanks. Later maybe.
 
Ooo, that's a new version of that song . Hmmm , old one was juuust a bit better
ok
 
9:44 AM
Your mv_check looks good, I think.
I <3 Avantasia!
 
10:09 AM
Videonauth in hiding?
 
why don't you ping him directly ;)

10:59 AM
@Aleeeeee please join me here. We can't converse via flags.
 
11:10 AM
Hi @terdon
 
Hi
 
Sorry for misusing the flag... I'm not much a user of the chatroom here
 
@Aleeeeee No worries.
So, the command in question specified /dev/sdX where the X is a partition number. As long as you use the right partition, that will only affect the swap partition and nothing else.

Q: ASUS UX501 - Ubuntu - touchpad doesn't work

Giampaolo RodolàOn my brand new UX501 the touchpad works kind of ok (precision isn't great) but what does not work at all is the 2-fingers scrolling. I've been searching on Internet a lot but haven't find any solution so far. Also when I left-click some text in order to copy it, then I release the lef button, th...

 
ok, right... I completely missed that part I was somehow assuming the command was to be run agains /dev/sda but you're right he specifies to use the proper partition
thanks for the explanation
 
11:14 AM
Today I hit 100 reviewed questions and the maximum daily limit of 20 reviews in First Posts. I'm happy I help make AU better.
 
@grooveplex ...Now today, there is only one more goal to achieve
 
@JacobVlijm uhh
Vraag Ubuntu?
 
@grooveplex exactly!
so, I've got 98 flags to go :)
 
Good. I'll start flagging all non-Dutch questions now.. brb
 
Oh noes... The invasion of the flying Dutchmen again.
 
11:17 AM
@ByteCommander wat bedoel je? Schrijf gewoon Nederlands alsjeblieft.
 
Ik denk eerlijk gezegd dat het makkelijker zou zijn om gewoon sudo rm -rf questions/ te doen.
@ByteCommander ja alsjeblieft, zeg... tsk
 
Okay, I guess I have to ask google what that meant
 
pffff
 
oeps die was voor @JacobVlijm
 
This is a Flying Dutchman by the way:
 
11:20 AM
@JacobVlijm Ugh. Mijn leven voelt zo LEEG zonder de gezellige beoordeelwachtrij met Eerste Antwoorden
 
De site zuigt als je nix te doen hebt ...
 
Ja, ik weet... :(
 
...Eentje uit Tom Poes: "mijn batterij is een beetje laag"...
 
Heerlijk als je dan gewoon een paar keer 'Stemmen om te Verwijderen: geplaatst als antwoord' kunt doen achter elkaar
 
so many dutch!
 
11:22 AM
@edwinksl jij moet ook Nederlands spreken op deze nederlandse site, ja?
 
@edwinksl slowly we are taking over

@Aleeeeee You're welcome. Next time, I would leave a comment under the question itself so the poster can explain. The moderators aren't the big cahuna experts on all things Ubuntu. Well, some are, but not necessarily. being a moderator is about your behavior on Ask Ubuntu, not about your Linux/Ubuntu expertise.
 
Zouden we niet mensen kunnen dwingen om op ons te stemmen bij Area 51, @JacobVlijm?
Dan is die Nederlandse Vraag Ubuntu er zo
 
Area 51?
 
11:23 AM
Guys, please don't chat in Dutch here.
 
@JacobVlijm ja, area51.stackexchange.com -- waar de nieuwe sites worden geboren
 
You can create a new room if you want, but conversations in the main chat room should always be in English so us mods can moderate.
 
@terdon we're just teasing @ByteCommander and all other foreigners
 
@JacobVlijm :D
exactly
 
lol, you're the foreigners!
:P
 
11:25 AM
^harsh
 
All of you!
 
Thats a you joke :)
 
:P
 
no infighting please, the real enemy here is windoze
 
I'll just go on driving my German tanks and do not bother... ;)
 
11:26 AM
@terdon "Listen, our Jimmy is the only one who tuned well in the orchestra..."
 
Ε, τώρα, εγώ φταίω αν αρχίσω να γράφω στα Ελληνικά;
 
¿donde esta la bibliotecha?
 
that looks like an equation in typical engineering classes
 
Yeah, watch it, I got me a whole different alphabet to play with!
 
11:26 AM
@edwinksl Greeks
 
@terdon no, we won't blame you
 
@jokerdino Una cerveca, por favor.
 
@JacobVlijm Yay for Google Translate!
 
...So fast...
 
@terdon ¡de nada!
 
11:28 AM
@ByteCommander cerve_z_a pls
 
Entrando vediamo per prima cosa, di fronti a noi, un pianoforte!
 
una taza de vino, por favor
 
@jokerdino La biblioteca esta al lado del bar. Cuando vayas, tráele una birra al Byte Commander.
@JacobVlijm OK, that's the first hint that you didn't actually find the bathroom.
 
Wat zeggen jullie allemaal?
 
Vive la France
 
11:30 AM
Haha, no, my first lesson Italian in 1985
 
Oh no. My Matilda got nuked :P
 
@terdon yo comprehende un poco palabras de español.
 
@jokerdino Ya veo!
 
Was she walzting at the time?
 
I think I am making up words
 
11:31 AM
I am afraid I am the first and only one to know your name
 
@jokerdino No, just mixing up some tenses.
Yes
 
That's all right.
 
@JourneymanGeek No, she lost a fight against 4 enemy tanks at the same time. How unfair.
 
...won't tell anyone
 
Also if you guys keep speaking in unenglish languages....
אכלתי את החתול שלי
 
11:33 AM
is that thai?
 
@JourneymanGeek You ate your cat?
 
looks nearly gibberish
 
Hebrew
It means நான் என் பூனையை சாப்பிட்டேன்
 
definitely not thai
 
I thought Hebrew was RTL
 
11:34 AM
This is thai ผมกินแล้วแมวของผม
 
@JourneymanGeek Oh EM GEE.
 
hebrew is RTL
i feel like it's time to use chinese
 
@JourneymanGeek And this is tchai:
 
hm. ginger, in tea?
I suppose it beats tacks
 
Okay, next round. New chance for my Matilda.
 
Is this question about an EOL Ubuntu release (and therefore off-topic)? askubuntu.com/q/792255/530811
 
@grooveplex 15.10 hasn't reached EOL yet
 
This time Matilda ruled, we won the battle! \o/
 
@NathanOsman It was at least 2 weeks, but definitely not a month
 
12:05 PM
@Serg apparently your script doesn't work now askubuntu.com/questions/792281/…
 
Well, well @Serg what did you do THIS TIME...

Q: Replacing Ubuntu 14.04 with Arch Linux on a dual boot Windows 10 configuration

Nabarun PalI want to migrate to Arch Linux. I have read all about the installation process on Arch Wiki and got a fair idea about the process. But I have a doubt on how will the GRUB installed by Ubuntu behave when I install Arch Linux. Currently, I have 11 partitions which have the following structure - P...

Q: Should I answer my own question when the solution is too simple?

IarwainI recently asked a question about my screen going black after the login. It turns out that I made a really stupid mistake. My laptop with Ubuntu has a shortcut on the keyboard that allows me to toggle between monitors. When there is no other monitor connected the build-in screen simply goes black...

 
Is 50.0.2661.102 really the latest version of Chromium?

Samuel FolknerEnglish is not my native language, so I'm sorry for any mistakes. I have a bash script: code=$(curl -I -s -S --resolve $host:$port:$ip $link | grep 'HTTP/1.' | awk '{ print $2 }') if [ $code -eq 502 -o $code -eq 503 -o $code -eq 504 ]; then /usr/sbin/service php7.0-fpm restart /usr/sbi...

 
@AndroidDev I like the way you roll! :P
 
2:02 PM

wat wat?
 
coughs
@terdon where have you been the past few days :P
 
@ThomasW. here:
 
ah, nice
grrrr i hate the mobile chat
 
@ThomasW. Wishing he could have one of those oh-so-amazing avatars
@ThomasW. better than it used to be
 
2:10 PM
@Zacharee1 hey guess what's not letting me upload
my work network
 
lol
 
:p
 
But I gave you an Imgur link. You can just use that
 
@Zacharee1 downloaded, yes.
system is still being weird
i blame the weirdness of the 'net
 
But you can provide a link from the web for your avatar
 
2:11 PM
@Zacharee1 lol, I haven'T seen anybody spellit "ubunaut" yet. Nice idea though.
 
@ByteCommander someone said it, so I made it
I have ubutnu for you :p
 
@Zacharee1 can I with the full site broken on Mobile Safari?
it's not working for me is the point
 
SAFARI??
 
doesn't have his computer, and is stuck on the work internet with an iPad
 
SAFARI?
download Chrome or something!
 
2:12 PM
safari o.o
 
@Zacharee1 full site still doesn't work there - E:Broken on certain interfaces
 
what have you done
you've broken the internet
 
lol
 
and you only have a few more months to blame it on Obama
who took ubantu? Did anyone?
 
2:15 PM
:D
You should publish your collection. Maybe as meta post?
 
I wonder how well that would be accepted...
 
Funny things are usually received well.
 
hmm
@ThomasW. ?
 
Meta stuff
 
2:17 PM
oh, i was 'lol'ing at the 'what have you done' :)
 
And it's meta. You can't lose anything there.
 
oh
 
lol
should I?
 
There are also other funny meta posts, e.g. the Jon Skeet facts on meta.SO
 
hmm
hmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
2:24 PM

Don't let the mods see...

Q: Ubuntu misspellings

Zacharee1It seems people just can't figure out how to spell the word "Ubuntu." I've personally seen Ubantu, Ubunut and some others, and others have reported seeing Unubtu and even Uboontu. Because of this, I have been working on something I think you will all enjoy. No, it isn't a way to prevent these s...

@Zacharee1 Nice, but I would have posted one pic per answer instead of putting them in the question.
People can vote for their favourite misspelling that way.
 
Whoever told me terraria works fine on ubuntu... thanks. I 've spend the past few days playing all day long terraria. My productivity was literally 0 :P
 
pretty sure it was me
you're welcome
 
Thanks friend :D
It was worth my time though, no regrets
 
;)
 
2:45 PM
@terdon From the question, it seemed off topic. Then the OP said he was actually running Ubuntu and not Windows after I left a comment about it being off topic. <sigh>
 
I was thinking instead of installing windows (and messing up everything yet again) to use a VM. Which one should i choose (based on how easy it is to use for someone unfamiliar with ubuntu and VMs)
 
@ByteCommander I was thinking the answers could be for requests, but that'll work
 
@FermiparadoxSO What about installing to an external HDD?
 
@AndroidDev I know, I read the comments. I just found it funny since you both called a problem to my attention (as you should) and solved it yourself. So yeah, well done all around :)
 
@AndroidDev Dont have one.
 
2:47 PM
@terdon :) Wait, so you mean the OP flagged my comment?
 
@AndroidDev No, you pinged me and I went and checked. Mods can see deleted comments, so I could see the whole thing.
 
@ByteCommander ugh. I have to wait 60 seconds between posting multiple answers
 
@terdon muahaha?
 
@terdon Right, but you said that "we both called it to your attention" who was the other person?
 
2:50 PM
@AndroidDev Ah, right. No other person, just you. You, Android Dev, both called it to my attention and solved it.
The both refers to the two things you did, not to two people. Like I am both happy and scared or whatever.
 
@terdon Ah. English can get complicated. Had you put a comma after "called to my attention", I would have understood correctly.
 
@AndroidDev Fair enough. I often omit the comma before and but that's probably a hangup I bring from Greek.
 
@terdon Is English your 2nd language?
 
@AndroidDev 1st and 2nd. My dad's American and my mother's Greek. I grew up speaking both natively but that also means I sometimes mix them up.
 
OK guys, I have each avatar separated. Go vote on your favorite! :p
 
2:56 PM
@terdon That's nice. Being bilingual is a good skill!
 
That it is.
 
he's also bi-mod-ual
 
The downside is that I sometimes makes mistakes in either. They sort of bleed into one another.
 
@Zacharee1 :)
@terdon I would imagine, unless you are constantly practicing both.
