looks pretty simple
 
@rohith I said growl intentionally since its obscure ;p
 
@guntbert if users' edit summaries can use improvement, you can let users know yourself that they may wish to use better edit summaries - it's not something that we really need to do anything for as mods if it's just a 'poor quality edit summary' thing.
 
@Videonauth fanatic = confirmed
 
with that, i'm off, because I've got high stress right now.
 
@edwinksl yep :))
100 days AskUbuntuMania
 
12:35 AM
@Videonauth btw you can consider posting your code on Code Review and see what people there say
 
im not done with it yet :)
actually it only mirrors the functionality of my c++ script so far but i have still a few ideas i want to bring in
 
so apparently there are different screens for the LG G2
and some of those screens show garbled info if TWRP is flashed

Q: How to set HDMI sound output as default on Ubuntu 16.04

NebuzaradanI am using an old laptop as a dvd player, so I want the sound to always play via HDMI, but whenever I suspend or reboot the sound switches back to the internal speakers. I can change the sound back to HDMI with this command: pacmd set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-stereo This doesn't persist thro...

 
askandroid!
 
1:07 AM
Slackers amongst us may be interested to know that 14.2 has just been released :)
 
@andrew.46 I already downloaded it!
 
@chaskes I am running -current so I have been using it for a while I guess, seems like a very, very solid release...
 
Sounds great. Looking forward to trying it again.
 
There is 'live' cd now as well
 
wat
 
1:22 AM
urgh, I hate multi-gateway routing on a LAN >.<
one box, all VLANs...
>.<
 
lol
uh
oh
 
just complaining about the complexities of kernel-level policy-based routing :p
 
it's double-posting my messages :/
 
@Zacharee1 'it' being...? Chat?
 
chat
 
1:23 AM
refresh your page after wiping your cache - it's really not doing that
 
laggy netz
 
^ screenshot of what we see here. Also, heheh, I know what you mean
 
@andrew.46 A live cd is cool, but I always liked the old-fashioned installation process.
 
what is Slack?
 
1:26 AM
@ThomasW. the programming question you just put on hold gave me a proper headache trying to edit it, the first question i wave the white flag on editing
 
bye...
 
@Zacharee1 It's the oldest surviving distro
 
oh
that's pretty cool
 
@Videonauth it really just needed closed, I don't think it's salvageable via editing
so don't worry :)
ther'es a reason we took a torpedo to it
 
@ThomasW. pew pew
 
1:29 AM
better nuke it from orbit: the only way to be sure !
 
what are we nuking?
 
@Videonauth why does that exist?
@TheXed you
 
@Zacharee1 finally someone is putting me out of my misery...
 
O_o
 
Although it sounds like it might burn...
 
1:30 AM
@Videonauth dude, i use that link lolololol
 
@TheXed nukes? You'd melt before you realized
 
@ThomasW. xD
 
@Zacharee1 I suppose it would depend on how far you are from ground zero
 
well yes
 
-4
Q: Need help with Bash script!

RisheeI want help to form a bash script as I don't know how to do it? Backgroud information: OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Apps partion mounted through NAS: /apps Both processes shall be runing at anygiven time in any given circumstances (even if system reboots {"/Apps/coding/Proccess_step_1.py" & "/App...

 
1:32 AM
@TheXed you could die from radiation poisoning
 
anyone tried to make sense out of this utter garbage ? i tried editing it and gave up and thats a first tho
 
@Videonauth they're asking for someone to write their infrastructure-scripts for them
with no compensation
from scratch.
 
@Zacharee1 well then I rather just have the nuke fall on my head...then it would feel fairly painless if what you say is true...
 
coding for hire == offtopic / broad
 
@ThomasW. always with the "hire a dev" :p
 
1:33 AM
@Zacharee1 it's not wrong though
 
yeah they can kiss my ..., well maybe better not or I might contract stupidity
 
in this case
@Videonauth *stupid statement* *stupid statement* oh no...
test
huehuehue
 
shoot where'd I put my dns server IPs for my network...
 
DNSLand
 
by the way youtube red is pretty awesome.
 
1:35 AM
ew
 
hey it was a dollar for 3 months...
 
why pay when you can pirate? :PPP
@TheXed o_O
 
@Zacharee1 I don't believe in pirating...I wouldn't want people stealing my stuff...
 
What about Apple or MS stuff?
 
What no!
 
1:38 AM
no what?
 
It doesn't matter who it belongs to, you shouldn't steal it.
Unless it is food, then you can steal it :-P
 
...
what if someone pirates Ubuntu?
waits
 
What i do from time to time is getting a copy and check if i like the game, if yes i buy it if not i delete the copy
 
@Zacharee1 it can't be done.
 
This way it is fair in my eyes
 
1:39 AM
@Videonauth the main reason for pirating: lack of trials
 
Still there are people working their ass off getting that stuff together, and they should be paid IMO
 
Youtube is good enough for trials...
 
@TheXed not always :)
 
98% of the time...the other 2% of the time, you can just take a leap of faith.
 
stupid Verizon
 
1:41 AM
Well for me as a pensioneer with only ~400 euros / month a leap of faith is fatal if it turns out to be crap
 
What did Verizon do?
 
@TheXed o_O
 
well I guess that gives "dying to get that new game" a new meaning...
 
indeed it does :) so i get my trials and if i like it then i save up for it and buy it
 
how much is 400 euros in USD?
 
1:43 AM
430 maybe?
 
that is like nothing... :-(
 
USD 445.53
 
@Videonauth yes
@TheXed uh huh
 
@TheXed well that is excluded the rent for my flat
 
How much is that roughly?
 
1:46 AM
i have all in all 806 eur (USD 897.75)
 
A month?
 
yep
 
How do you live off that?
 
well it has to suffice tho
you only have two options, you adapt and live or you give in and die
 
fair enough...
 
1:51 AM
still i fear the day my HDDS or my mainboard goes in the fritz
i wouldnt be able to replace it
 
How old is it?
 
from 2006
10 years
 
Start a GoFundMe!
 
Yeah that is pretty old...
 
@Zacharee1 I wouldnt even know what to write there :)
 
1:53 AM
I would buy you a new computer if my wife would let me, but she won't even let me buy myself a new computer...
 
That you have no choice but to receive a pension because of health and personal problens
and your pension is too low for comfortable survival
@TheXed so you can't be trusted with new tech then
Well upgrading the phone to LL fixed the screen issues
 
im a nerdy type as well, actually on top of my whishlist is a pi
 
@Zacharee1 perhaps so...she might be afraid of what I might attempt to do with it...
 
:p
 
@Videonauth I have 2 pi's if I ever upgrade I'll mail you one...
 
1:56 AM
that would be cool, i have a bunch of old IDE hdds in my cabinet, would use the pi then as a NAS :)
 
CM is flashed on the G2! :D
flashed with 6% battery
booted
optimizing apps
uh oh
 
Cm?
 
I forgot to get GApps
@TheXed CyanogenMod
 
Oh yeah.
I always forget about that.
 
I'd say the second best Android OS
Resurrection Remix is amazing
 
2:07 AM
Oxygen os is pretty good imho
 
I haven't been able to use it
I like RR because it combines CM with some of the other really good AOSP ROMs
too bad it's only built for the International Note 4
doesn't work on my 910V
well it does work, but I don't get service
that was lucky
one of the phone screws fell off the desk, so I got up to get it and it was stuck to the bottom of my foot
what is with my laptop's internet?
sigh. Have to clean flash CM and then GApps BEFORE I boot
@Videonauth gofundme.com
 
2:24 AM
@Zacharee1 I know the site :)
 
then use it!
then use it!
 
@Zacharee1 there's the doublepost :p
 
@Zacharee1 pro tip: if you ever lose a small screw use a flashlight to help locate it. Shine the light in the general area and you should see the glimmer of the screw...
 
i would send you my bandwidth if it were possible :/
 
@ThomasW. every other device is working fine o-O
iz weird
 
2:29 AM
@ThomasW. question... I'm nearing the next release for NitroShare. Should I upload the new version through mentors again when it's ready?
 
@NathanOsman what is mentors?
 
is there a disadvantage?
 
@TheXed use a hover, put a nylon stocking over the opening and hover the area will as well work
 
@Videonauth not everyone has a hover as handy as the flashlight on the back of the cell phone...
 
@NathanOsman yes, and poke me if it's not picked up in sync, or if it needs changes
 
2:31 AM
Okay.
 
@NathanOsman unless you want to go the Ubuntu-only route, you should stick with Debain-first
and let it trickledown
 
Yup, and I don't even need the Ubuntu-specific change this time.
 
yep, which means the delta drops and the World is happy
 
well
not the entire world
i still expect some headaches lol
 
2:33 AM
You mean... in Soviet Russia packages update you?
4
 
@Zacharee1 take the device. throw it against the wall. call down the orbital strike on it. walk away like nothing happened :P
:P
@NathanOsman lol
 
@ThomasW. then I'll need my own GoFundMe. This thing cost $850
 
@NathanOsman I think you should sell your code to Microsoft for millions of dollars...
 
@TheXed They have to want it first.
 
@NathanOsman make them want it :-P
Your you can attempt to extort them I guess :-P
 
3:08 AM
@andrew.46 Hello from Slack!
 
what's Slack like?
Does it use its own package manager? (Does it have one?)
 
@Videonauth you need to update your links in your comments :p
 
Yes, it has it's own package manager. I've only used Slack for a few short periods of time over the years, so I still have a lot to learn about it.
Slack aims to be very vanilla, so not many changes to upstream. Default DE is KDE 4, but xfce and some extra light ones (fvwm, etc) are available during install.
Install doesn't offer a chance for a non-root user, so post-install you need adduser. Then default is startx. Plus you need to make network manager executable and get that set up manually. Those are the big diffs from what you might be used to.
@Zacharee1 It's called pkgtool. The docs say it's a little less full-featured than rpm/deb managers, but it's there.
 
@ThomasW. which comments ?
 
Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! A link to a potential solution is always welcome, but please add context around the link so your fellow users will have some idea what it is and why it's there. Always quote the most relevant part of an important link, in case the target site is unreachable or goes permanently offline. Take into account that being barely more than a link to an external site is a possible reason as to Why and how are some answers deleted?. — Videonauth 26 mins ago
at least for that last one I'm wondering why you post the SO FAQ not the AU :)
but meh
i'm off for now, good night all
 
3:21 AM
btw you might want to check out this user posting answers in a shotgun approach within the last hours askubuntu.com/a/793814/522934
@ThomasW. youre right have to update this one
 
@chaskes How is it looking? I still have to update to 4.4.13 kernel but otherwise all in place...
4.4.14 even
 
@andrew.46 Looking good. Added my user, put myself in wheel, got networkmanager running and everything is good so far. When I last tried Slack, I got frustrated by the things (like those) that weren't auto set up. But since then, I've gotten very interested in a very unix-y experience (for example, I'm also using freebsd now) and I'm looking forward to continue learning Slack.
@andrew.46 How do I track -current? (I haven't googled it yet, so if it's more than a sentence don't worry about it. ;)
 
3:38 AM
Any Java folks around?
 
@chaskes I use alienBob's script: slackware.com/~alien/tools/mirror-slackware-current.sh and upgrade from the mirror with a couple of sripts
 
@andrew.46 Cool, thx much.
 
Not too hard to do but some vigilance required with reading changelog updates
 
I'm used to that with Arch now, but again thanks :)
 
@Serg I have a question for you this time - it's Java. I have created an enum in my class. For public instance methods, I can refer to enum values like this: ENUM_VALUE. But for private instance methods, I must fully qualify them: ENUM_TYPE.ENUM_VALUE. Why is this?
 
3:40 AM
@chaskes Which desktop? Fluxbox here...
But I have installed the others to look at :)
 
I went with KDE since I was interested in seeing how everything runs on this celeron.
 
Oh hang on... I answered my own question... stackoverflow.com/questions/17764874/…
@Serg never mind ---^
 
4:14 AM
hey all
@chaskes do you know KDE is just an windows emulator?
Gnome is true to linux philosphy
 
Spare me. And for the record, because I chose kde in one distro says nothing about what I use in other distros, which in fact is usually gnome or mate.
 
ok just wanted to make sure you know that
 
Ok. No worries.
 
I am a little curious to know what 'linux philosophy' is :)
 
Wow, Java isn't so bad.
 
4:21 AM
philosophy is to make an OS open source and contribute to community of users, among other things basically been free and different in someways
read it a long time ago, think philosophy is there
 
@Videonauth Thanks for that
 
not for that :)
 
@Videonauth But I think Andrew's point here is that linux philosophy also includes freedom to use whatever tools, langs, or DE's suit your needs best. One is not really more linux-y than another (at least not in a general sense)
 
My suspicion is that is a difficult and perhaps not terribly useful thing to try to encapsulate something in a 'philosophy'
Leaves some people out, does not encapsulate the whole
And can be used to establish almost tribal groups
GNOME vs KDE
etc
 
4:27 AM
:)
 
Linus Torvalds: '…the Linux philosophy is "laugh in the face of danger". Oops. Wrong one. "Do it yourself". That's it. ' This will do me fine :)
 
hullo
 
@Videonauth btw, I just received me used copy of the unix programming environment
 
:)
the big red book which fits in no shelf ?
One of my favorite quotes about Unix that also applies to Linux is often attributed to a person named Doug Gwyn but for whom no information can be reliably obtained. Whether Doug exists or not, it is still a great quote:

Unix was not designed to stop its users from doing stupid things, as that would also stop them from doing clever things.
 
4:40 AM
Is it me or is another game account of mine buffed?
 
@Videonauth That's a good quote. I like the positive quotes. I dislike this famous one: Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly. It just happens to be very selective about who it decides to make friends with.
 
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE BuFFS
Crossy road then ???
 
857 PB of storage is a lot.
 
857 PB?!?
 
4:42 AM
Yes.
 
O_O
 
@Videonauth The only big red book I can think of is LOTR (actually they reprinted that edition as black a few years ago)
 
@NathanOsman messed with a (smaller) very similar device
those are cool
@Edity on tape.
 
oh
 
Apparently it has a robotic tape cartridge changer thing.
I always wondered how Amazon Glacier did it... :D
 
4:43 AM
1000 TB= 1 PB?
 
ya, if its storage they always use the metric petabyte
 
You could fit a lot of pr0n on that :)
 
@NathanOsman I think they use tape, though some folks are experimenting with blue ray
 
@chaskes these two books the unix bible and the ugly red book that wont fit on a shelf (nsa trusted networks)
 
So that can hold 8570 TB
sweet
 
4:44 AM
is a must have :D
 
I think CERN is using one of those.
They have a lot of data.
 
Wish there was a PencilByte ;(
 
I have the linux bible. I'll have to look for the other. I mentioned the old book because it was referenced in the wiki page you posted.
 
yeah sadly i can not often afford to buy books
 
1000 PB= 1 GB (GodBytes)
 
4:46 AM
[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in body, link at end of body, pattern-matching website in body: have any understanding about it? If it can be t, the by oteloonida on askubuntu.com
 
No way. That thing can read at 161.28 GB/s.
 
1000 GodBytes= 1 PencilBytes
@NathanOsman You can get that by RAID ing 75 SSD's
 
@NathanOsman i would be happy with a rack or two of IBM blue gene L
 
I don't think there are too many controllers that can RAID 75 SSDs...
 
it could be possible
 
4:47 AM
You might have better luck with NVMe drives.
Those can often get 4-5 GB/s.
 
:P
I have 1000 PencilBytes
(1 pencilbyte = over 10000 billion bytes wait make that 1 TRILLION)
 
As for the NSA "Trusted Network Interpretation" you can find online versions of it. Here is the pdf: [google.ca/…. However Both the Red Book and the Orange Book have been superseded since their publication, and are now rather obsolete.
 
@Videonauth Thanks for link.
 
@NathanOsman Woah
 
4:55 AM
but those 54 pages are not the complete book it seems this was about 200 pages
 
Hey
What does the following command do?
. ~/.bashrc
 
its the same as source ~/.bashrc would do
 
@Videonauth Gotta go. I'm not on NRW time. Feel free to contact me offline if you have other thoughts.
 
sure will do
 
@Videonauth ah, thanks
 
4:59 AM
hi
 
Apparently, running tmc for the first time added that to my path.
I was confused.
 
do we have a place for network manager in stackoverflow
 
the dot is simply quicker to type

I just walked out of my room and the section of the plastic border that separates carped and wood floor is gone O_o like portion of it is broken off. Either my dog ate it or we have ghosts
 
I am for ghosts. Ghost are better.

Q: BusyBox on persistent USB Livesystem

KupferdracheI retryed to build my persistent Linux USB stick, now Ubuntu 16.04 is out. But still it boot only to a busyBox prompt when using the persitent boot entry: BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinux.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/ubunutu.seed boot=casper verbose persistent ramdisk_size=4294967296 keyb=de locale=de_DE n...

 
9:25 AM
that question is probably beyond my competence ^
I am only pythoning and bashing around
Anybody here with Lubuntu ?
 
@Serg i don't :(
 
@edwinksl what do you have ?
 
unbootu unity
 
yeah, i have the same, but i need to see if lubantoo has a something that i need for a scripto

What does TTY actually stand for?
 
teletype
 
i@ParanoidPanda teletype
 
dat tape though
 
@ParanoidPanda in the old days that ^ was TTY , and it was a whole a lot of a trouble to just have program load. I know a video on youtube of an old teletype loading a program for primes in BASIC , if you wanna see that
I wish I could have an external keyboard that looks like a teletype. Imagine me placing my laptop on top of that thing, and coding away on that gigantic keyboard :D no tape though, my room is already messy without extra paper
 
user136984
Can someone do me a quick favour please? :)
 
9:58 AM
@ParanoidPanda what sort of favour ?
 
user136984
Just give me the sha512sum of your /usr/bin/wget file, my one changed and I can't find the reason for it so I need to know if I have the rootkit or just the lost upgrade.
 
$ sha512sum  /usr/bin/wget
