Ask Ubuntu General Room

I still don't know what that is

2:20 AM

dam

I get it only when opening a random page redirect

@serg @edwinksl any help you guys?

i have no idea what's going on

Its a web.config prob but dont know how to fix it

me neither

thanks anyway

I get it on both linux and windows

right now on windows

why don't you ask on Super User

2:24 AM

how?

will try it, tomorrow thanks edwinksl

@Videonauth i see you are awake already

yeah well i was awake all the time but my eyes did hurt so i was taking a rest

T_T i haz perfectly good skriptz , but me no haz lubantu on dual screenz

2:30 AM

i have dual screens (does 1 laptop 1 actual monitor count as dual screens?) but no lubootu :(

you guys confuse me actually :)

lol

@Videonauth btw looks like your answer can't be used on headless ubuntu server ;)

Confubuntu

ubuntu for confuzed people

in one month we will have even Windowbuntu :(

because upgrades to windows 10 will no longer be free in one month's time?

2:36 AM

No the REdstone (Aniversary Update) will bring Ubuntu for windows as package to the normal windows payload

UH OH

and this will happen on the 2nd of august

users get a root shell by default right?

or at least that was what i saw in some m$ video

yeah kinda

I guess we will get a ton of weird questions then here along with a sh**load of dupes

OK, how about xubuntu, anyone ?

2:39 AM

Im still on unity :)

loosk like this tag will blow up then askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/ubuntu-on-windows

most likely yes, since as soon you put ubuntu in the google search bar, askubuntu is one of the top hits

AU is on second page for me when i google "ubuntu"

it ranks behind the ubuntu subreddit lol

Don't forget that google also profiles your searches

yeah

2:43 AM

your search history will influence the order of entries as well

which is even more surprising

because AU is one of my more highly visited sites

but you mostly dont search through google ?

@Serg Only Xubanto, soz

if i type only ubuntu and windows its actually on the second entry from the top for me

AU isn't even on the first page of results for me

2:44 AM

@Zacharee1 if you on xubanto can u test my scripto ?

@Serg I can reboot into it, but I want to at least try to sleep

What's the script supposed to do?

Minimize windows on specific display

Just go to sleep , it's ok

yea, not worth it >:P

I would try it out otherwise

and maybe I will

I took the caffeinated stuff

@serg why not set up a VirtualBox for dualscreen and test it?

random lel

2:47 AM

@Videonauth I have virtualbox , but i don't know how to set up dualscreen on it. It only allows me to enable one screen. Do i need the restricted extras for it ?

Check the VM settings

Weird i can choose how many screens i want

they both run on xscreen 0

@Serg was trying to do it from within the VM

I did that . . . then why i don't see the screen split ?

go full screen

2:50 AM

no, i did the same thing that videonauth showed

@Serg did you reboot the VM?

it should then span over your both screens

yes rebooted multiple times

weird

let me download an xubuntu image and i fiddle around here a bit with virtualbox

ask on AU

2:55 AM

and shared folder doesn't show up

shared folder is easy install dkms if you not have already and install, btw reinstall tthe virtualbox addons inside the virtualbox

gonna install the guest additions now, see if that helps . . .

but i don't recall having such issue with other versions of ubuntu

Maybe I should just say "screwit" and write only for unity . . . i just wanna test if that will work on lubantu and stuff

On a side note, computers are awesome . . . .

lol 0.80% store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

we are the 1% guys

3:10 AM

has been more worse tho

@Videonauth (worse)

2 years ago we only had about 0.2x %

@Zacharee1 thanks

so have the cdimage now going to install a VM

I wonder why companies don't push for writing games for Linux. I mean, it's more market for them, right ?

the problem is they see those numbers and then decide after calculating that hiring a whole team to convert the games to linux/OpenGl is not worth the effort

But since unity3d and so on slwoly all give you the option for developing cross plattform it might get better

many of the small developer studios already going this route and provide linux running games

but it still will take a while till the big nes adapt

for this i think steamOS is a game changer

thanks gaben

Whoever invented fireworks, I hope he gets roasted in hell on a medium hot fire

what happened

looking forward to fireworks on july 4 (and aliens)

@edwinksl i don't mind fireworks on 4th of july , but stupid people be popping them on all the other days, whole evening

at least yesterday was quiet because of the rain

people are duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum

oh yeah

they sound like gunshots too

annoying

I still dont get the need for fireworks to be honest, each years silvester we fire up tons of money and on the other side people on this world are still starving to death

i refrain already since 30 years from spending money on fireworks at all because of that

agree

3:23 AM

agree with that too.

Because who cares about other people ？ Let's blow sh*t up and look at the bright colors . . .

which effectively does nothing

everybody wows and ahs and oohs , and then goes home

Apparently drinking a lot of water can help negate the effects of caffeine

@Serg fireworks are fun

yep, if they would send all the mney to people who might have something from it, building schools and infrastructure there would be far better and this warm fuzzy feeling of having helped will stay longer

brb , need to go drink a shot

@Videonauth there you go. Just not spending the money isn't a good thing. Because instead of helping and not having fireworks, you just don't have fireworks.

I have spend in my past 30 years already lots of money on projects like building schools etc.

3:26 AM

I never got the "don't buy this because there's bad stuff in the world" since it doesn't actually suggest you redirect the funds. It just deprives you of what you wanted to do.

@Videonauth sehr gud

past few years i cant anymore because im on the lowest limit for my self

OK, good. I thought you were still doing it o_O

no sadly cant anymore

i even spent 1 year in africa in my past to help building myself

only thing i got for it was a bed and food

you're now one of those poor people who won't set up a crowdfund

if you won't do it, I'll set it up and force you to take the funds :p

If a horse from Nashville can get $9k, you can too

-_-

mhmm

Well, I had returned . . . .sorta . . . Only to say that 3 shots of brandy later my shared folder mounts but doesn't list contents

4:03 AM

@Serg slow down there buddy. Remember the texts

I text the remembers

Joking..... I'm still sober....

sure?

If I start mixing brandy and wine, that's gonna be a trouble. So far so good

o_O

O_o

4:06 AM

I really should sleep

@edwinksl O_O

._.

Trust me , guys, you haven't seen me drunk. Like really drunk

@edwinksl .–.

we should host a AU partay

@Serg we haven't seen you in the first place

@edwinksl ubantu purty

4:07 AM

at your house please @Zacharee1

@Zacharee1 good point. We should meet up and drink XD

@Serg I would have to be German for that

@edwinksl wat

when you roll over onto your cat's tail

@Zacharee1 you already speak some German. Good enough

@Serg I'm still in the US. The drinking age is enforced

and I don't want to be drunk

I already get enough headaches and dizziness

shared clipboard doesn't work for my virtualbox

welp, i have no way of transfering my script over to my lubuntu vm

4:13 AM

lel

file transfer?

i could git clone my repo . . . .but i wanted to do transfer that internally

did you enable the clipboard sharing in the vm's settings?

yes, i did

and it still doesn't work

mhmmmm weird

well i just finished installing xubuntu onto a vm

actually installing the additions

i officially hate lubuntu

Nathan Osman

4:20 AM

How come?

It doesn't give me dual screen in Virtual Box, and it doesn't show stuff in my shared folder. It mounts the folder, but when i ls stuff , it's just not there

even though i sort of installed guest additions, it still complains

mhmmmm ok which version is your virtualbox? and which version the addons.iso or did you get it provided by the vbox-extpack ?

5.0.20r106931

hum, you might want to install it from the oracle site

im right now at 5.0.24r108355

why did i not have any issue like that with regular ubuntu unity then ?

4:27 AM

no clue tbh

i run since the start already the one from the oracle site

@serg

wget -q virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/orcale-virtualbox.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5*
wget download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.24/…

then install the vbox extpack through the virtualbox add ons tap in the settings

i had my fair share to get kali running in virtualbox this is why im running this one

and it did serve me well

after that you not need to search for the iso to mount the additions, you simply choose it from the devices dialog at the bottom there you mount the version included in the extpack

4:43 AM

Hmmm, I usually just download deb file from the same site . . . .I wonder if my vbox is just outdated

this is why i added the repo in my sources :) so i not have to worry, and as soon you got the extpack installed as well you will even get for this a message as soon you fire up virtualbox

mhmm but i have the same problem on xubuntu i dont get a dualscreen on it

just installed the virtualbox drivers in the software&updates , additional drivers tab

welp , this is not working out, so . . . .git to the rescue !!!

tbh honest now that i see the xfce DE i not like it, not my kind of game i guess

IM TIRED BUT NOT AND I HAVE A HEADACHE

AGGHGGHGHHGH

yeah, i can relate to that @Videonauth overtime i started liking unity and gnome

@Zacharee1 maybe you need to drink

4:52 AM

@Serg ---------------------________________________________--------------------------

I..........superuser.com/questions/1096297/…

^ stupid OP is stupid . . .

hahaha

You know what's great?

git cloned my repo, tested the script, it twerks . . . so now all i have to do is post it on AU . . . question is . . .do I clean it up and post it like that or do i clean it up tomorrow ?

Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen can be taken at the same time

4:56 AM
